App/tool/service for nomads to bring things from another country?

by @brmolin | 9mo 8 months ago | 4 comments

I vaguely remember hearing about such a service before, but I’m drawing a blank on the name. Basically I left my tablet on a connecting flight in Europe, right before my main flight to Thailand. They have my tablet and are willing to ship it out for me, but people have warned me there’s a big risk of it getting “lost in the mail” if I ship something expensive like that to Thailand.

I’m wondering if there’s a service or community, where I can find a nomad who’s in Europe/heading to Thailand soon, so I can have it shipped to them in Europe and pay them to ferry it down here for me? I met someone in Budapest a ways back who had built something for this type of use-case, but I can’t remember the name of it. Any help would be appreciated!

Nomad volleyball hubs, know of one? (Asia)

by @brmolin | 1yr 1 year ago | 2 comments

Hey all! Planning to head to Southeast Asoa later this year and I’m looking for a place that’s got a good community of people who play beach volleyball. I’m in Medellin at the moment and joined up with a community of locals and expats who play a few times a week and I’ve gotta say I’ve quickly fallen in love with the game!

I want to find a place that’s got a good community I can play and practice with somewhere down there. Mix of locals and expats are both fine, though ideally there’s at least a few expats so I can communicate with at least one person in the same language! I’m open to indoor volleyball too, though I know that’s much less common (especially amongst nomads).

Appreciate any direction ya’ll can give!

Introduce yourself — who are you, where are you and what do you do?

by @coffeeshopceo | 2d 2 days ago | 670 comments

tl;dr: introduce yourself in this thread.

We must all get sick of the same backpacker travel questions when we meet new friends, I know I do.

You know the ones - where are you from, where’ve you been, where are you going, what do you do, how long have you been doing it - etc.

The novelty of answering these questions wears off after maybe a week, but they’re nonetheless insightful and no matter how much we hate them, we find ourselves asking others.

So let’s bring the dreaded backpacker questionnaire to NomadForum and introduce ourselves shall we?

what’s your name?
where are you from?
how long have you been away from home?
what do you do?
where are you currently?
where are you going?
what has been memorable for you so far?
will you go home anytime soon?
what have you learnt during your time as a nomad?
[insert your own question here]

No need to answer them all if you don’t want to
But the more you share… The merrier!

What is your ergonomic set-up while traveling?

by @caseyr | 10mo 9 months ago | 18 comments

What is your ergonomic set-up while traveling?

I personally have an external keyboard, and am currently exploring getting a laptop stand, some lumbar support, and a trackball-mouse.

What do you use? How are you balancing health / portability?

Where to live in Shikoku, Japan?

in Japan by @srg_b | 2yr 2 years ago | 10 comments

I want to live in Shikoku for two months. I’d like Shikoku, because of its beautiful nature, and preserved culture and tradition. Has anyone been there? Where could I base myself, apart from the 4 big cities (prefecture capitals)? I’d ideally like a town, 10 - 50.000 people population. Anyone with an idea? Thanks!

Short term (1-3 months) in Medellin?

in Medellín, Colombia by @jodie_taylor | 3yr 2 years ago | 30 comments

Hello all,

I’m just interested on anyones experience of renting short term (1-3 months) accommodation in Medellin, Colombia.

I had a look on Airbnb of course, lots of places, on the more expensive which isn’t a huge issue… I’m just wondering if in anyones experience it’s better to take a room for a week and shop around when I get there or whether I should just book a month upfront? I recently had a bad experience with Airbnb so not dying to go down that road again just yet if I’m honest.

I’ll be arriving in Medellin from November onwards over the Xmas period and likely through till January, maybe longer. Another friend is coming with me so we could potentially rent a 2 bed apartment, or I’d also be happy in a studio or a private room in a decent house even. I’m thinking El Poblano or Laureles, as we are two girls with limited Spanish.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

What are the nomad hotspots in Eastern Europe (outside Schengen)?

by @emondpph | 3yr 3 years ago | 43 comments

Hi everybody,

In august my Schengen tourist visa will be over. I would like to go 3 months in Eastern Europe, but it needs to be outside of the Schengen area. I would have loved to go to Budapest but because it’s Schengen I can’t…

Frankly, I don’t know Eastern Europe that well. What are the best spots for Digital nomad in this region ? Also, I need a cool co-working space, I don’t like working from my house.

Thanks !

Can you name some destinations where hardly anyone smokes?

by @ani_goes_tweet | 3yr 3 years ago | 24 comments

I’m dying to spend some time in a beautiful place (especially a place with mountains and a good climate) where it’s possible to enjoy the outdoor cafe culture without breathing in lots of secondhand smoke! There must be some places that are kinder to non-smokers than others.

Any suggestions?

(Bhutan is no good… its daily tourist visa is way out of my reach!)

What should I budget for a stay in insert place here?

by @gigigriffis | 3yr 3 years ago | 6 comments

Hey all!

I’ve been seeing a lot of budgeting questions floating around lately (not just here, but other nomad forums), so I thought it might be useful to start a thread where anyone who is sharing their nomadic budgets can drop a link (or the budget itself).

I know Betsy and Warren of Married with Luggage share theirs here: http://www.rtwexpenses.com/

My friend Ali isn’t full-time on the road, but she shares real budgets for her trips: http://www.aliadventures.com/category/real-travel-budgets/

Anyone else out there sharing budgets for nomadic life? Please share your links below!
