Based on Kinmen's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Tainan is cheaper than Kaohsiung by a fair bit, not sure why it's being reported as costing more per month
🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌧 Feels 31° 88° 27° 81°AQI 11✈️0.29926205171635$1,555 / mo15MbpsAn amazing city for the value. Beach, MRT, Sun, and about half price of what you would pay in Taipei. Also, lots of super cheap flights all around Asia from the city airport. Been here a year so far and I like it. Not much in terms of night life, but a good digital nomad community. Also, really helps if you speak Chinese. An undiscovered Gem that I could see getting more popular with digital nomads in the next few years.
