Chris Pochiba is a social media influencer who traveled to South Korea for laser eye surgery in 2022. His wife, Sara Aho, explained why they chose South Korea, instead of other destinations.

In 2020, nearly 20 percent of Pakistan's energy was simply lost during transmission, distribution and delivery. Pakistan's energy problems are having a cascading effect on the country's economy, which is on the verge of collapse.

Well, for people with $130,000 to spare in their bank account, that could become a reality too. As of June 2022, more than 25 countries and territories had issued digital nomad visas to draw remote workers, whose number has increased since the pandemic started.
