How can I receive calls to a US number?

by @pixelfiesta | 4yr 4 years ago | 7 comments

Not sure if this should be here. Admins may move this.

I came across FireRTC that allows anyone to call a US number from their computers for free. The number can be easily changed, but the drawback is that one cannot receive calls on that number.

I have gone through some of the recommendations in the other threads
https://ringplus.net/
https://voip.ms/
http://www.rebtel.com/
https://www.twilio.com/

After that has someone discovered a solution thats as simple as calling or receiving calls on a mobile phone? (To be more specific, a lot of these might not work for/ from India.)

How do you deal with not getting paid when working remotely?

by @pixelfiesta | 5yr 5 years ago | 10 comments

I have had bitter experiences of not been paid for assignments when I have been remote. Its either not paid completely or pair partially or delayed payments. How do you tackle such issues?
Do you take advances? Do you use escrow? or other third-party payment collection agencies?

What payment related problems do you face in working remotely and how do you tackle them?

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

by @coffeeshopceo | 13d 12 days ago | 667 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 | 9mo 8 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.

What are the best meditation and yoga retreats in Asia?

by @damirkotoric | 5yr 4 years ago | 9 comments

There’s a bunch I can find by Googling but I’m after the hidden gems or at least some personal accounts. I’m after good teachers that hopefully speak some English. Picturesque, mountain locations would be the icing on the cake.
