I believe I have a higher quality of life here than in Canada. No, there's not the same health care or social programs (these are usually taken into account when determining quality of life) but those aren't things that I ever had to take advantage of in Canada.
My cost of living is much cheaper which means I can work less hours and spend more time doing the things that I enjoy.
I live 50 meters up a volcano and have an amazing view across the lake to two other volcanos. The property is 100% off the grid and I need to take a boat to get to a town to buy anything. Internet is from a 3g usb modem. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/799543
Nothing here comes instantly. Everything moves a bit slower. This has taught me to be more patient and make better use of my time.
