Is there anyone around who spends most of their time in Latin America? After short trips to Peru earlier this year, Iโve now come back to Lima to stay for another three months and will then head to Buenos Aires. Lima will be kind of my home base but I aim to explore as much as possible of Latin America in the next couple of years. No interest in Asia, Africa or North America and no intention to go back to Europe.
Hi Daniela, Iโm actually doing that, for now Iโll be traveling through SA for the rest of the year and probably early 2018, I started in April in Chile, then Argentina, Paraguay and now I just arrived to Brazil, I was planning to stay longer in the different countries, but while I was in Valparaรญso I got an idea and started a Youtube channel with videos about the food of the places I stay in. So I decided to stay in the countries for 2-3 months in average. After Brazil, Iโm planning to go to Bolivia, Perรบ, Ecuador and Colombia, to keep recording the videos for my project. To finally finish in Mexico, probably in the Yucatรกn peninsula area. Hoping to cross paths with other fellow nomads.
Cheers!!

Hi Daniela,
been traveling between Europe , Oceania and SEA back and forth for 3-4 years.
Last year i decided to hit back Latin America, first time i was on travel it was in 05-06 (there were almost no digital nomads, nomads yes!). And iโm loving it again. Its less dense population wise than Asia, wider and somehow wilder (more adventour), also culturally better FIT here (being of italian/latin origin). If you handle well the language thatโs another plus.
Currently in love with Mexico (Guadalajara-Jalisco), I have been in Mexico for 1 year now, no other latin American country draws me more than where i am. Combination of prices, food, culture, friendlinessโฆ Previously i was in Brasil, Argentina, Paraguay, Guatemala. Iโm more of a settled nomad so to say, which means I prefer to stay 12-15 months in one country / city and get to know it really well.
Possible next destinations? 
Iโd like to travel fast trough Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and then settle in Ecuador (Loja,Cuenca) for another 1 1/2 years!
Nice! I settled in Puerto Vallarta where I opened Vallarta CoWork with some friends. I LOVE GDL as well and spend as much time there as possible. Do you ever make it to the coast?
Hi! I should come visit you, craving some pool and sun time. November my flat contract is out and Iโm currently planning next moves, from the sounds Puerto Vallarta could be on my list !
I will definitely spend my time in Latin America for the foreseeable future! 
I spent a bunch of time out in Asia early on and was a great place to meet DNs, share ideas, connect, etc. But honestly Latin America is 1000x more exciting to me in terms of culture, music, food, people, etc.
Plus I deal with companies in the U.S., being in the same time-zone has been a game-changer for my productivity and sanity!
Currently in Mexico. Will return to Medellin, Colombia for the last quarter of 2017 (spent time there before and loved it!). Then on to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for the first quarter of 2018.
Hi Daniela
I am also like you, From Europe (Czech rep.) but in love with LA. I currently live in Cuba but from December I am planning to stay few months in Panama, Colombia and maybe also Nicaragua.
If you want to visit these places, let me know.
Hasta luego
Was just in Havana and found the internet situation impossible. How do you manage?
Winter is coming and Iโm feeling the ache of travelling after being stuck in the same place since the Pandemic started. Wondering if anyone is travelling right now? If so, where are you currently located and how is the situation where you are?
Hello World!
I'm an experienced Digital Nomad and after being in Lockdown in Bangkok and Germany for one year I would like to team up with someone to visit a new place. Or just doing some exchange about what destinations would be interesting currently.
I take the virus seriously and still I think we can still be able to take our life in our own hands. So I'm aiming for cities/countries which are not in full lockdown, are not too complicated about immigration (I'm looking at you Thailand, your state quarantine costs like 1k USD and is basically a prison) and is also rather safe regarding the virus. I tend to stick for rather big cities and like culture. I'm not a beach or nature person. I'm pretty flexible about the money topic.
I will be traveling/working through Mexico with my dog February to April. My plan is to stay in Sayulita for about 2-4 weeks, then travel south along the cost.
Is there anyone who wants to share an airbnb apartment? I was thinking of renting a private villa, but because these are large and have multiple rooms, I was wondering if there are fellow nomads wanting to share? Iโm open to other locations as well (Puerto Vallerta, Oaxaca, and everything in between these two locations.
Any suggestions for seamlessly receiving SMS Verifications from US financial institutions and other sites while traveling internationally continuously? Wonโt keep my US Verizon account due to cost and currently plan to use local sims at each destination (T-Mobile and Project Fi are NOT an option as they terminate for continuous roaming). In summation, I wonโt have a US mobile account.
Unless Iโm missing something, which is very possible, this appears to be the single most complex issue Iโve encountered in my preparations, and one that no one addresses. I would greatly appreciate any possible solution that works 100% of the time. Canโt afford surprises in this regard. Many Thanks! Jack.
I'm thinking about taking a sailing (yachting) course in the Mediterranean Sea this coming September or October. Thus far from my research, it seems that most courses are held in locations with not many digital nomads. My thinking is that it would be more fun to go to a place with like-minded people. Therefore, I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in taking a sailing course in the Mediterranean this fall? If not, do you know a location that offers good sailing courses, where there is also many digital nomads / nomad infrastructure?
Hi! I want to relocate to Spain and I was wondering if someone can recommend a SIM card with a good data package.
Thanks
Iโm a big believer in co-living but Iโm finding hard to find all the options available in different cities.
I have found the major players like Roam, The Collective, and WeLive but havenโt found many others.
Has anyone seen a list or should I start making one?
Hey guys, this was my first year as a Canadian nomad.
As far as I know of, Canadians donโt pay taxes if they do not live in the country for 6 months.
But Iโd like to talk to an accountant or someone who does Canadian taxes specifically for expats and nomads to get clear on the rules and for help on my return coming up.
Does anyone know someone who specializes in Canada who can help? Iโve seen plenty of US recommendations but none for us canucks.
Thanks guys!
Any long terms Project Fi users cancelled?
Planning on being outside of the US for a year or more and disappointed to just discover their โtermination for excessive international roamingโ fine print (similar to T-Mobileโs) as follows:
โThe Services must be primarily used in the United States and are not intended for extended international use. Further, the Services are designed for use predominantly within our network. If your usage outside our network is excessive, abnormally high, or cause us to incur too much cost, we may, at our option and sole discretion, suspend your Project Fi account, terminate your service, or limit your use of roaming.โ
Hi!
I am planning to move to Latin America for 3-4 months (Oct-January). Iโve narrowed down 6 different places that I want to visit before committing to settling down, but Iโd love to get some community input.
Here are the cities Iโm considering:
The most important things Iโm looking for:
Anyone have any experience with these places and can give some insight? Iโm also completely open to other recommendations.
Thanks!
Rose
What is your ergonomic set-up while traveling?
I personally have an external keyboard, and am currently exploring getting a laptop stand, some lumbar support, and a trackball-mouse.
What do you use? How are you balancing health / portability?
Hi guys!
Weโre leaving on Dec 1st for a 5-month DN experience with our kids, but we have second thoughts on our journey. We were supposed to do a trip in South-East Asia (Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia). Weโre from Canada, and our clients are all in Canada right now (weโre digital marketing consultants).
After comparing destinations, weโre starting the think Latin America may be a better choice to make sure we keep most of our clients during these 5 months (same timezone). Also, it seems Latin America fits our needs too :
So here are our 2 options ; which one would you recommend for our criteria?
A: SEA : Thailand (Chiang Mai and a couple islands in the South), Indonesia (Bali and Lombok), Malaysia (Penang)
B: Latin America : Mexico (Playa Del Carmen/Tulum), Colombia (Medellin), Peru (Lima and other TBD towns), Chile (Santiago and other TBD towns), Argentina (Buenos Aires and other TBD towns).
Thanks!
Iโm looking to spend 1-3 months in Alicante or Valencia this fall and would like to take a Spanish class there.
The last few years Iโve spent mostly in Asia (Thailand/Indonesia) and Europe (Spain/Italy), but I run a company in the US and need to coordinate with 10 US based employees and business partners. The time zone issues between EU/US and SEA/US are exhausting even if I love the locales.
Iโd really like to try romping around the Americas for a while, but Iโve never been south of Baja California and really canโt find much positive having been said about remotely working from CA/SA as a DN.
I know some hippy, surfer, artist, musician, yoga teacher types calling various locals home, but no one making a living onlineโฆ more than a few people have told me itโs fabulous down there until you go to Thailand/Bali and then you wonder why all those ExPats are suffering in CA/SA. Of course you only really know when you go yourself.
Iโd love to see nomadlist.io get filled out with more details on Central and South American cities. It seems really sparse coverage at the moment, but maybe thatโs simply because itโs not good and no one stays there for long.
Hi,
My name is Nick,currently living in Australia and looking at moving to Shikoku next year to live for a couple of years.My wife is Japanese,but I dont speak much though I have lived in Tokyo for some years previously.
Any advice on best areas to look at would be greatly appreciated ,
Thanks in advance
Nick
We just finished our first stint around South East Asia and somehow survived 3 days of way too many flights, leaving me to feel like death.
Too much shitty airplane food, not enough sleep, big time difference from Mexico to SEA.
Anyone have tips to prevent that more in the future (aside from better flight plans)? More importantly, how do I recover faster from this horror?
The ideal bank will have an easy on-boarding as a European student studying and living in Sweden for a year and is merciful when it comes to sending GBP into the account.
Can anybody recommend a good Swedish bank? 
I am an English/American currently in Israel, and heading in a week to Georgia/Armenia for two weeks and then want to head to Russia for a week.
As I am only in Israel for another week, would it be possible to apply for the visa in Israel and ask to receive it in Armenia (my last stop before I want to go to Russia)?
Or perhaps there is another better option that I have available?
