About Patric Tengelin
About This Blog
This blog is written by Patric Tengelin, a long-term, location-independent writer who lives and works across multiple countries without a fixed base.
Rather than chasing trends or short stays, I spend extended periods in each place — long enough for routines, costs, bureaucracy, and everyday realities to surface. That perspective shapes how I write about digital nomad life, low-tax countries, remote work visas, residency options, and the practical trade-offs behind choosing where to live.
The focus here is not on fantasy lifestyles or “best country” lists built on headlines alone. It’s on understanding how places actually function once daily life begins: taxes, visas, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, language barriers, and the personal fit that determines whether a location is sustainable over time.
Many of the insights shared here come from years of slow travel — renting apartments instead of hotels, navigating residency rules, budgeting in unfamiliar currencies, learning languages imperfectly, and adapting to different cultural expectations while maintaining professional work. Over time, the emphasis shifted from optimization to alignment: choosing environments that support clarity, stability, and long-term well-being.
This site combines practical guides — such as low-tax jurisdictions, remote visa frameworks, and mobility strategies — with reflective writing on culture, work, belief systems, and intentional living abroad. Everything is grounded in firsthand experience rather than theory or sales incentives.
I’m not a financial advisor, immigration consultant, or relocation agent. Nothing here is professional advice. Think of these articles as detailed field notes — written to help you ask better questions about where you want to live, how you want to work, and what kind of life you’re actually building.
If this perspective resonates, you’re welcome to stay and explore.
