For the guys which put "other" location, where would you suggest me to go?
I've not looked too much into long terms stays in these places. However, I was surprised how easy it is to stay in Russia, essentially permanently with a business visa. And you don't actually need any real business to get a business visa. Once you have 3 month one, you can get a one year one, and then you can get a three year one if I remember correctly. Then if you can speak Russian you can go for citizenship. I don't think it's that simple in other countries.
As also mentioned you can switch between cities, which is a pretty good option in terms of getting out of -20 in the winter. SEA has real cheap apartments with pools and GYMs. But you are likely looking at a minimum of $400 to get to SEA, unless maybe you're in Moscow. I've just been living in the region and can do it on $1,000 per month, but it doesn't leave much left. Obviously AirBnB is the big sink. Oh, and that's cheap apartments. Not something that you will bring a girl back to and she will be impressed. Good apartments in EE will be more like $50 per night. You can buy good ones in SEA for $50K; $100K in EE.
Another option re the visas is Armenia, which will probably have a 6 month visa free for you. Georgia has 12 months, but its not a worthwhile destination.
