Hi I'm interested in all six of the locations referred to in this article I was wondering if I could get more details on how to actually get started and maybe point me in the direction of should I talk to the consulate or I'm an American citizen and I'm trying to find a better safer place to live and I want to know how that works out thank you

A city of natural beauty with the ocean and mountains on your doorstep which allows an outdoor lifestyle. A fusion of diverse cultures. The cost of restaurants and services is generally low. However there is a large gap between rich and poor. Many workers struggle to earn a comfortable living as the purchasing power of the rand is weak.

It is a beautiful city but it is not equally safe in all parts. Tourists that are not used to looking out for muggers and pickpockets should keep their phones in their pockets. Don't walk alone at night in the city, it is always safer to be in groups!
