Hi!

I am planning to move to Latin America for 3-4 months (Oct-January). I’ve narrowed down 6 different places that I want to visit before committing to settling down, but I’d love to get some community input.

Here are the cities I’m considering:

• Quito, Ecuador
• Cuenca, Ecuador
• Medellin, Columbia
• Cartagena, Columbia
• Antigua, Guatemala
• San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala

The most important things I’m looking for:

• Fast/easily accessible internet
• Easy to meet other nomads/make friends in general
• Safe for women
• Some sort of spiritual community (I’m also a yoga teacher)
• Easily walkable city

Anyone have any experience with these places and can give some insight? I’m also completely open to other recommendations.

Thanks!

Hi there, I am planning to work remote from Budapest for about 3 weeks. I typically like to work from Starbucks so I wanted to find out which ones are the largest and better for working.

The ones that I found so far that seem a bit bigger are this ones:

Hi all,

So, for the last 5 years or so I’ve been working in the travel industry - which means I’ve not had to worry about things like accommodation, because my employer provided it wherever they sent me. This means that , although I’ve been hopping around the world for some time, some of the typical nomad tools like airbnb are relatively new to me now that I’ve crossed over to the world of freelancing.

I was looking forward to adopting a “go where the wind takes you” mantra; never booking anything more than a few days ahead so that, if I’m in a bar and someone talks about a place really cool, I can just… up and go.

Well, I’m beginning to realise, that may be an unrealistic ideal! I’ve been taking a look through airbnb (granted, it’s for Europe Summer), and I’m looking about 2 months in advance and everything is booked! Most searches I perform give back statements like “Careful, only 5% of bookings with your search criteria are left” - in fact one of the places I planned to pass through only had 1 result left available.

It appears to me that if you want a reasonable period (let’s say 2 weeks), with a few basic conditions like wifi, space to work, etc and you want it at an affordable price that you need to start hunting what… 6 months in advance? Doesn’t seem very spontaneous and nomadic.

Those of you that have more experience booking with airbnb - how far ahead are you booking to get what you need?

Thanks,

Joe
