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!

Probably most of you do as I do, Google it first and then research further, if needed, on official transportation websites, travel guides, blogs, etc.

I travel each month to a new city and I find this task tedious, sometimes there’s not enough information in English or there might be a handy travel planning app or uber-like app that I’m not aware of.

I wish there were a “nomad list” website or app for transport information where you would choose a city and be given all the transportation options (Bus? Tram? Subway? etc), how/where to buy tickets/passes and any additional useful information (trip planner, apps, maps, etc).

Do any of you relate to this?

PS: I’m a developer and I might actually try and create something to “fix” this if a lot of people are experiencing this same “annoyance”.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get an insight as to where the best job opportunities are in Germany for motion graphics artists. I’m hoping to move there soon on a youth visa and was considering Stuttgart, Hamburg, Berlin or Munich.

Any thoughts on which city would be best for a young designer?

I’m a professional psychotherapist who is starting out in this lifestyle and I’m curious to hear what specific psychological struggles people had to overcome while making the transition to life as a DM. Also, what do you do to stay mentally healthy while traveling to foreign lands. I’m interested in hearing any insights people may have, especially since I am working on a book on psychological resilience and I can’t think of a more stressful transition than moving from a static to a nomadic lifestyle. If you’re not comfortable putting your experiences on a public forum, feel free to PM me.

it seems like Visa have gotten more tight recently and it’s touch and go whether each transaction will go through. Sometimes it does but often now I am getting declined. The bank knows my locations but in the background Visa seem to be blocking a lot regardless and they are harder to notify. I am using paypal where possible because it doesn’t get blocked, but that’s only good for a limited number of places.
Anyone else getting worn out by the payment approval games?

Hey there! As a nomad, how do you organize your book notes? I used to write notes on the physical pages, but now since I’m always traveling I’m trying to avoid physical books and it became difficult to keep track of my book notes. Also, I feel that it is so much more effective to retain the information on the book when I take notes of what I’m reading…

Any ideas for tools/methods to organize your book notes on the road?

Which are the best place to go to meet other Digital Nomads in Melbourne? I would like to find a active place where i could learn and meet new people working as nomad. Any suggestion?

To put it mildly, I’m very disappointed by the prospect of losing my EU passport as a result of the referendum on 23 June.

There may be some UK nomads who do not mind and will be content with their British passport, but for others like me who possibly value their EU citizenship more than their British citizenship, what alternatives are you considering?

Hey everyone! There’s often loads of blogs and threads about nomads from Americans and Europeans but I haven’t come across any for nomads from Asia-Pacific.

I personally hold an Australian passport and Hong Kong PR and completely new to being a nomad. Any suggestions at all or resources that others may have come across on this particular topic?

Personally, I’m looking at broad medical/health insurance, travel insurance and as a bonus, insurance which may also cover scuba diving

Hi,
I have been using Paypal since I’m nomading and contracting. However now it asks to confirm my identity.
I created my account when I was in the UK, now slow traveling, my account is bound to the UK and I’m feel like I’m *****ed since they ask for information about my previous UK address.
They are talking about limit lifts. Anyone using paypal has a nomad with no home address?

Hi there!

I realise this isn’t the right way of asking for legal advice, but I’d appreciate some initial loose pointers on where to go and what to do.

I’m currently working for a company which is UK-based (full-time contract), where I’m paying my taxes, own bank accounts, and so on. However, being a remote worker, I’ve been working from Berlin this year and for personal reasons, I really don’t want to move back to the UK.

So, being aware that I would need to spend at least 90 days in the UK if I want to continue to legally work, what are my options to avoid this entirely?

• Should I register as freelancer in Germany and have my company employ me as a freelancer? Would this exempt me from the 90 days rule? If so, what would happen to my pension scheme in the UK?

• Should, if it’s possible at all, still be employed by this company (non-freelance) but pay my taxes in Germany instead of the UK? Again, is this wise and would it exempt me from the 90 days in the UK rule? (the company has no German affiliate)

Funny enough, I can’t find an available accountant in Berlin to ask all of these questions, hence why I’m hoping some of you wise folks would point me in some direction

Thank you!

Hi,
Surprised that this thread does not exist.
If you lose and block your only credit card, what are your other options than going home?
Do you have a specific bank that can send you a new card? Aside from that do you have some tips?

Hey folks, we’re starting up a coworking community in Sombor, northern Serbia (www.fabrika.org.rs/coworking/). We’re trying to figure out what is the first thing that comes to mind, so that we can address any prevelant concerns, assumptions, generally, handle them in a better way. Our country is not well known, so understanding how others percieve it will help us develop our community in a better way.

So, in all honesty, what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say “Serbia”, good or bad (I won’t be offended )

Thx!

I’m on a RTW trip with my family for a year. We’re in a new country every few weeks or so. World Nomads seems to be the most popular company but they have horrendous reviews regarding payment of claims. I’d love to hear of other options people have experience with - or if you’ve had a positive outcome with World Nomads. Thanks all.

Browsing this forum a lot, I learned that the best option for mobile data is buying a local SIM card in pretty much every country I go to. Ok, that’s manageable.

Now I was wondering which mobile hotspot to buy, because I will have more devices with me that I want to connect to the Internet, and my girlfriend will have even more devices with her to connect, too.

When I was looking at just one manufacturer’s offerings, I’m already overwhelmed by the complexity of options.

Should I just use my main mobile phone’s hotspot feature for this?
Should I get a separate mobile hotspot device for that? Which one? Any recommendations?
How do you do this?

I’m recovering from a stomach bug so caffeine and sugar, the two staples of late night development, are off the menu. As a result I’m finding it quite hard to get motivated!

Does anyone have some alternative techniques to wake my brain up and plug me in?

Currently I’m indulging in music but it’s not having quite the same effect as the killer combo of coffee/music/chocolate

I’ve tried app such as Spashtop and iDisplay without any good results really.
Obviously a good connection is necessary but I still get lag.

I’m trying to decide between these 2 Bavarian destinations for the next stop. Nuremberg has a higher rating on NomadList, probably because of the price difference, but has anyone actually lived in this city or can offer some insight in comparison to Munich?

Interested in knowing if there is any tech scene there, how the coworking spaces are, the type of feel the city has, etc.
