Based on Tashkent's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Pros: Wonderful and friendly people Cheap Green and clean - many parks with big trees in the city center Several modern and nice cafes and bars, especially around Erkindik boulevard Enormous opportunities for hiking - huge and beautiful mountains right near the city. For instance, Ala-Archa national park is just 30 km from center Good opportunities for skiing in winter, especially for freeride, but it might be better to travel to Karakol for this activity Close to Almaty (Kazakhstan), so you can

First the cost of living is waaay lower than what nomad list says. You can rent a nice serviced apartment with sea view for 29€/Day. People barely speak english in Batumi and there is not a lot going on (compared to Tbilisi). It is a nice place, if you want to live very cheap, safe, enjoy sea views and like modern buildings. However keep in mind, it is a small city, so there is not a lot going on.
