Just wondering how much people are working? the typical 9-5 each day while travelling? part time? and what do you do?

Curious because though i’m not really a nomad at heart when I am living that way I’d prefer to be working less rather than more. Just thinking back to my hostelling days I’d probably like to enjoy the location during the day and would only really feel like working when coming back to rest and THAT would be work time. For this reason I am getting more partial to non dev roles to facllitate this i.e. being open to the world vs shutting it out to get shit done.

Taxes and accounting are a huge pain in the ass for me. I’m currently using a mix of quickbooks, google drive/dropbox, google sheets, and the ScanPro app. Getting all these things to integrate is just a headache.

I would like an accounting app that works for nomads. Would anyone else be interested in something like this? Or, does anyone know of any good accounting apps for nomad types out there?

Some of the features I want:

• Connect to a bank account to load transactions and classify them (just like quickbooks)

• Digitize receipts/docs. I can’t haul a bunch documents around, so I want to be able to snap a picture of a receipt/document using a smartphone AND link it to a specific entry in my linked bank transactions. Why the hell does Quickbooks not have this feature?

• Find tax deductions that nomads can typically claim. Quickbooks does deductions like home office, but nomads don’t have home offices. Would like an app that finds deductions for the perpetual nomad (e.g., certain situations where housing is deductible while you’re abroad, some travel expenses, etc.)

Any other features that people would like?

If no one knows of anything out there (I’ve googled my brains out, so any suggestions are welcome), please let me know.
