It's not hard to see the draw of an exciting new adventure abroad while you're young, if only for a year or two — but doing so can be incredibly expensive.
According to international relocation company MoveHub.com, January is one of the most popular months for people to up sticks.
If you're considering taking the plunge, MoveHub has done the hard work for you and sussed out the cities where young people can find the best quality of life for their money.
The study examined the affordability and lifestyle for young people in 32 big cities, taking into account average monthly costs including income, renting a one-bed apartment, and public transport, as well as the density of cheap eats (places per 100,000 people), the cost of a coffee, as well as the city’s safety score (based on Deutsche Bank research).
