Tired of sky-high rent? Whilst many Brits dream of living abroad, it can seem out of reach – but, what if a month-long trip abroad could actually be much cheaper than paying rent in the UK?

We reported on 6th January, It’s now cheaper for Brits to have a month-long stay in Turkey than pay their own rent in the UK.

After Josh Kerr (24) from Manchester found that it was cheaper to live in an all inclusive 5-star resort in Turkey for a month, than pay his own rent at a city-centre flat in Manchester, package holiday experts  On the Beach, took him up on the offer. It cost £938  to stay in Turkey for 28 days, including flights.

You, can see Josh’s journey here:
