ChatGPT is telling me to go to Antarctica. Not sure about the cost of living there. And besides, I don’t think their food game all that.
Seriously though, where have you spent a considerable amount of time and seen no roaches (the American and German types)?
Central Asia.
I used to live in Thailand, moved to Kazakhstan. No roaches, no bugs, odd mosquito in the summer.
Cheaper here, and certainly cheaper in Uzbekistan where I also never saw any roaches.
I left a nice hotel in Tashkent because my room was roach infested. I stepped on one with my bare feet in the bathroom and was like, WTF? I didn’t have my glasses on, and once I could see what had gone crunch under my foot, I was horrified. The roach was flaming red, too. Like the same color as a redheaded human. The hotel didn’t seem to care and wouldn’t do anything about it, so I walked out and couldn’t get another hotel so I spent the night at the train station outside on a bench.
TL:DR version: there are roaches in Uzbekistan, and they are weird
