Why Americans Are Quietly Moving To Swakopmund, Namibia

On the Atlantic coast of southern Africa, in one of the most peaceful and dramatic countries on the continent, sits a small German colonial town caught between the world's oldest desert and a cold gray sea. Swakopmund, Namibia is the strange and beautiful African town that almost nobody outside the region has heard of, and the small community of foreign residents who have made it their home are some of the quietest and happiest expats in the world. In this episode we walk through preserved German Victorian streets, climb hundred-foot dunes five minutes from town, and look at real numbers on rent, healthcare, and what life actually costs in one of southern Africa's most singular small towns. If you have been searching for safety, dramatic landscape, and a frontier life unlike anywhere else, this African gem might be the answer.
