Abomey-Calavi, near Cotonou, offers a budget-friendly base in southern Benin 🌍💻. It’s lively, growing, and close to urban amenities, with easier access to internet and services than many smaller towns. Great for nomads seeking affordability, local culture, and proximity to the coast, though coworking and premium expat comforts are still limited.
