Built by a nomad who got tired of reading the same generic "top 10 countries for digital nomads" lists. The problem isn't lack of information — it's that everyone's priorities are different, and no list accounts for that.
A short-term traveler cares about visa-free access, fast internet, and good weather. Someone relocating long-term cares about healthcare, taxes, and whether they can actually build a life there. Same countries, completely different rankings.
LiveAbroad.ai scores every country across 16 dimensions and lets you set your own priorities. The ranking reshuffles around what matters to you.
Each country is evaluated across 16 dimensions on a 0–10 scale. Every score comes with a written justification — not just a number, but the reasoning behind it.
Dimensions are weighted and rolled up to an overall score. You can adjust those weights by switching presets or setting your own priorities, and the entire ranking recalculates in real time.
| Dimension | Default Weight |
|---|---|
| Safety | 10% |
| Cost of Living | 10% |
| Visa Accessibility | 9% |
| Internet Reliability | 8% |
| Location Quality | 8% |
| Healthcare | 7% |
| Accommodation Market | 7% |
| English Friendliness | 7% |
| Difficult Seasons | 6% |
| Attitude Toward Foreigners | 5% |
| Flight Connectivity | 5% |
| Transport Options | 4% |
| Hidden Gem Factor | 4% |
| Income Tax | 4% |
| Capital Gains Tax | 3% |
| Crypto Tax | 3% |
These are the default "balanced" weights. Switch to a short-term or long-term preset and the weights shift — or set your own custom priorities.
