Any nomads in Europe want to do a Nomad Christmas gathering somewhere?


by @wanderingdev |  | 16 comments

Hi Nomads!

Like many, I’m not heading back to be with my family for the holidays but I was thinking it would be fun to maybe do a nomad family gathering. We could rent a cool house/apartment somewhere fun and do our own thing. I personally am available from 23-27 December, but people could arrive/leave sooner/later. I love to cook so I’d be up for doing a big christmas dinner.

If anyone is interested, or has suggestions on a good place to go, chime in! :smile:

US citizens how did you choose where to vote?


by @wanderingdev |  | 3 comments

I’ll admit it, I usually don’t vote. But with the current batch of scary ass clowns vying for the presidency, I feel like I really have to for the next election. My problem is, I have no idea what state to register in.

I’ve not lived in the USA since 2008.

My license is from AZ but I’ve not lived there since 2001.

The last place I lived in the USA was DC, but only for a few months, and I can’t receive mail there.

I receive mail at my moms house in Indiana, bit I haven’t lived there in 20+ years.

So. How do I figure out where to register to vote?

What do you do?

Where in Europe should I spend Christmas?


by @wanderingdev |  | 3 comments

I have to be in Dusseldorf from 27 Dec-7 January so I have new years covered, but I’m looking for somewhere to spend Christmas. Since I won’t be visiting friends/family, I’d want somewhere that doesn’t shut down for the holiday (like most of England) so I can still get a good meal on Christmas eve/day. Somewhere with outdoor markets, entertainment, hot mulled wine, etc. Thinking maybe Prague, Innsbruck, somewhere in Ireland? I don’t know. Somewhere with a pretty old city center where I can sit and enjoy a drink and people watch in a pub while maybe meeting some locals kind of place.

Can I adjust my US taxes for the foreign income exclusion?


by @wanderingdev |  | 7 comments

I am a US citizen working for a US company living abroad. I plan to qualify for the foreign income exclusion this year and I’m wondering if it would be ok to adjust my taxes now so I have less withheld and get paid more now. I could use an extra $1200 cash a month instead of paying it to taxes and having to wait to get it back next year. Does anyone else do this? Thanks!

Recommendations for the Balkans starting in April?

 

by @wanderingdev |  | 23 comments

I’m in Spain now and heading to Italy in March for a conference, but I want to head to cheaper pastures after that while still being in Europe. I want to be relatively warm so I want to stay as far south as possible. I’ve not spent any time in the Balkans so I’d love some recommendations. I am eventually planning on settling in Croatia for a bit, but probably not until it’s warmer so I’m looking at the southern countries. Maybe Albania?

I need: Access to decent speed internet that is reliable, especially up speeds because I have to call the US regularly. A mid-sized city so I have access to restaurants and bars and a decent gym, but nothing too crazy. A reasonably priced apartment in the city center that has a good kitchen since I like to cook. Good public transit network so I can explore the city/country on weekends.

I’m a US citizen, if that matters.

Thanks for any recommendations!

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

 

by @coffeeshopceo |  | 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 :smile:
But the more you share… The merrier!

How do you invest internationally as a nomad?


by @mateuszwieloch |  | 17 comments

I have finally saved enough money to start investing. What company gives good, diversified access to stock, ETFs and mutual funds? Does it make sense to use company like Vanguard or Fidelity for that? I’m a EU/Poland citizen, how would I transfer my money back and forth without incurring significant fees?

How do digital nomads pay tax?


by @rodriigovieira |  | 19 comments

Hello everyone! I’m new here and probably this is a very newbie question, but it doesn’t leave my head.

How do you, nomads, pay your taxes? I mean, if you’re constantly traveling, how are you going to pay taxes for a certain country if you are going to stay there a short period of time?
Or do you return to your “original country” and then pay them?

By the way, this forum has very nice cool formatting features! :smile:

    London is a SO beautiful city. The historical center is cute, but also majestic and luxurious. You feel the culture at every step. British people are really kind and welcoming! Plus, more than just one, you can enjoy TWO skylines 😍 so many skyscrapers, nothing beats its collection in Europe.

  • Bangkok

    Don't believe the prices on here for an apartment. 686 usd/month refers to an apartment in a high class condo, right in the city centre and seconds away from the BTS(train station). Just remember this, people working at supermarkets make 2 usd/per hour. If you want to live like a local, then you can save a lot of money. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart ser

Women here are rude, ultra conservative and have flat personalities with nothing going for them. Food is okay but plenty of MSG and food safety is atrocious.

    Gorgeous city with great bars and restaurants, although poor nightlife. Ideal for summer days/evenings, with outstanding food, punting on the river, and nice shops. Great greens and Europe's longest outdoor pool on Jesus Green make it a nice place to 'chill' in the warmth. However, the nightclubs are poor and Cambridge lacks things to do when it's cold/wet.

  • Chiang Mai

    Chiang Mai used to be N.1 for the digital nomad life. It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

  • Timisoara

    Prices aren't that low anymore. 1br apartment in the centre would cost you around 400 euros, maybe even 500 if you go for something more luxurious. Airbnbs are 40-50 euros per night (central ones). Dinner would be anywhere from 5 to 10 euros and even more if you go to the fanciest restaurants. There's a decent tech scene around (lots of software engineers in the city). I'm living in Timisoara since 2011.
