Hi there!

I’m looking for international sim card services. I looked for other posts, and I know there are other alternatives, but I’m interested to have an international sim-card with only data plan, just to be used while I get a local one.

Alternatives:

• Go Sim - http://www.gosim.com/data-sim-card.html
• World Sim - https://www.worldsim.com/top-up#data-bundle
• Travel Sim - https://travelsim.com/data-roaming-packages/
• Telestial - http://www.telestial.com/international-sim-card

¿Any experience using any of these services?
thnx!

Hi experienced nomads!

I’ve been nomading around SE Asia, HK and China for the last 4 to 5 months. I’ve been moving a lot and now I need to settle down for 3 months to finish some work. So the idea is to be in a stimulating city where I can find nomads, start-ups, self growth, self improvement, spirituality environments.
I already been for one month in Chiang mai, and liked it a lot in this respect, but wanted to try somewhere new, so was thinking to go to Ho Chi Minh or Bali. As I will be working mainly most of the time, the idea is not to spend much this three months, so my idea is to spend around 1200usd per month.

Would appreciate any opinions on this.

Best place to sit down and work for three months on a 1200usd budget a month?

Thnx

Hi! Hola!

the rules are to post in english, so…

I’ve seen much information on blogs, youtube etc, from Americans or 1st world country people. But the information I’ve seen from Latin people is most than anything backpackers, and I would like to know the experience of Latin nomads, since I think there maybe some issues that are different, like racism and that earning an Developed Country equivalent income is way more challenging. And when English is not your native language, trying to understand a Chinese or Indi people speaking english, may be a nightmare.

I would like to know the experience of the Latin people on becoming a nomad and if you feel there is any difference or special barrier to overcome, and how did you faced them.

would appreciate any comments

I’m building a pre-travel checklist for every flight.

This is what I have up to now.

• Visa ready
• Visa Docs
• Immigration papers
• Onward Flight
• 1st week Accommodation / Long term Accommodation
• 1st week 24/7 Cowork
• Printed itinerary
• Following Long Term Stop Planned.
• Where to buy a Cellphone Data Plan SIM card on arrival
• Travel Insurance
• Packing
• Check-out
• Airport Transportation (on departure)
• Airport Transportation (on arrival)
• Online Flight check-in (plus connections)
• Check Weather on arrival
• Schedule events on Google Calendar

I would like to know if you use a pre-travel checklist, if you can share it too, and what experienced nomads think I should add.

Thanks!

Hi there!

I’m going Nomad in about 3 months. Mainly I’ll stay in some places for at least 1 month, but I’m planning some backpacking trips in between movings. So I’m planning to travel carry-on only on this trips. But I also would like to carry with me some non-indispensable stuff that helps me to keep up with my lifestyle and work on the places where I’ll stay for a longer period. For example a blender, coffee and an Aeropress to prepare my bulleproof coffee. Also my guitar, some camera gear, a good quality screen to work, etc…

Except for the guitar, everything fits into a medium size luggage.

I know I can check in this stuff when moving. But if I’m going to backpack I don’t want to carry this stuff around.

• Is airmailing this stuff to myself a good option?
• Any experience on this?

I’m a newby on this lifestyle so any advice is welcome . Many thanks!

Hey everyone, my girlfriend and I have been nomading for about 8 months now and we’ve had a total blast doing it, but something we’ve both struggled with is how to stay in touch with personal/professional networks while abroad, especially since we don’t speak the language in most places we live. When you’re at home or in a single English-speaking city, you can attend one of those awful professionals groups and make 10 business connections in 10 minutes, but when you’re moving around monthly, it’s just harder to keep up personal and professional relationships, let alone build new ones. So, as friends who understand this wonderful but often lonely lifestyle, how do you keep your networks up while on the road?

Hi guys

According to you what is the best way to send and receive money abroad beside paypal?
What are the fees?
What are the pros and cons?

Hostelworld for hostels,
Nomadlist for general locations,
Yelp for food (among other things)
Trip Advisor for activities…

Is there a website where a community of people can rate and review co-working spaces around the world? I’m in a nice place right now, and about to start on toward the next destination, I’d love to review the coworking space I’m currently sitting in and start planning for the next stop.

I know that there are some threads around here about it, but I’d love to search “Taipei” and see a list of them with reviews from actual nomads (rather than the hap-hazard websites the coworking spaces make about themselves).
