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

by @coffeeshopceo | 16d 15 days ago | 672 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!

Are there any nomads from India?

in India by @ankitdas123 | 10mo 10 months ago | 56 comments

I have seen a lot of posts from different people across the world, but not even a single post from someone in India, who has been a nomad, either living within the country or traveling to another one.

Would definitely love to hear stories from such people. We are a couple traveling as social nomads who are trying to bridge the gap between the rural and urban societies in India. We have started out very humble and do not have much resources, so looking out for help from the community.

Any nomads working for the big 5 tech companies?

by @andrewkennedy | 3yr 2 years ago | 13 comments

I currently work at one of the big 5 tech companies (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon), at the main campus as a software engineer. I was wondering if any nomads work remotely for said companies and how you came to that arrangement. Working for myself or moving to a smaller company that has mostly remote work seems less desirable than maintaining access to all the resources I have internal to my company.

Digital work in return for lodgings and food?

by @tuesdaygroup | 4yr 4 years ago | 18 comments

Hi Everyone,

I’m myself a digital nomad. So this is a nomad 2 nomad question

It seems to be a popular trend for people to live and work on local farms in returns for daily meals and lodgings. (Southern Portugal)

Typically for 1-3 months periods

My Question
I’m just purely throwing out an idea here. But would any digital nomads be interested in a similar deal ?. Digital work in return for lodgings and food??

Im interested to hear peoples feelings on this one, be it good or bad! I understand this wouldnt be for everyone but a might be appealing to others?

Thanks for reading my question. If any nomads are interested right off the bat feel free to drop me a PM for further details.

What's good nomad spots for kitesurfing?

by @yangwao | 5yr 4 years ago | 8 comments

Lately I’ve learned little kitesurfing and I’m new in digital nomadism.
I’d like join these exciting things into something. Got idea if there are some digital nomads who like kitesurfing and planned go to somewhere.

I have some locations, where some digital nomads would go:

Tarifa, Spain
Montenegro’s Hidden Coastline (Croatia’s Dalmatian coast and Albania)
Sicilia, Italy
Lefkada, Greece
Bay of Roses / Sant Pere Pescador area 1,5 hr away from Barcelona and Castelldefels which is a beachtown-suburb of Barcelona have the best kitesurf conditions + infrastructure after Tarifa in mainland Spain
Bali, Indonesia (cowork there! http://www.dojobali.org)
Tenerife, Canary Islands (there was some organized trip lately, http://www.meetup.com/workoff/events/227343513/ for 80€ with flights, coworking-space + activities )

Who is interested to do some kind of calendar or plan something, or is there already some kind of this calendar?

disclaimer, surfers != kitesurfers
