tenzinr18d

Hey everyone, my name is Tenzin. I worked in a sales role for 8+ years selling to technical folks at Fastly and recently quit a couple months ago. I'm currently in Lisbon 🇵🇹 & will be participating in a Web Dev bootcamp + writing more. The plan is to start working in Web3 after so would love to connect with anyone in the space!

yujiny17d

Hey yomuacqho I know Thailand such as Bangkok / Chiang Mai has quite the active scene for other nomads.

Penang (Malaysia) for food, slight bias as that's where my family is from but verified by other travellers.

Wouldn't recommend Australia at the moment. Always seems like it's a a few weeks away from lockdown here.

👋 Hi everyone, I’m Jessica - Born and raised in London, _finally_ packing it all in this summer to start exploring the world.

I’m a Technical Product Manager, recently started my own consultancy after building products at Google, The Guardian, and UK Government. I also build/bootstrap SaaS products on the side.

I’m looking to make friends, so please say hello - I’m heavily tattooed with purple hair, you literally can’t miss me 😅

matthewford17d

GL - hope you do better than I did, I was planning on going to Madeira for a few months, and haven’t left yet 😆

alisaa17d

Hi from ex-lavender hair 😂 Do you have any idea on what your first destination going to be?

oriolgarciago16d

grpvwvec is that a thing? haha large_purple_circle 😂

alisaa16d

zuqrglypwquwket when I used to live in a city with very few colourful girls around - I’d always complement them. Unnatural hair colour is like a sisterhood 😄 but regarding the “_ex-_” bit - I am not sure, just waiting for my hair to grow a bit moar before I can go full lavender again

jessbuildstech16d

Thank you U01527Z37GB! Fancy grabbing a coffee and walking in London to say hello? I’m planning on leaving London in ~April

matthewford16d

Sure, I’ll probably be back in London before then, will drop you a line.

jessbuildstech16d

Hey dzufmlka (part of the crazy colour hair sisterhood 😂 ). Probably Portugal, trying to decide between Lisbon and Porto… and then onto Phuket (or another city in Thailand, depending on COVID) for the winter months! What about you?

abobunov16d

Hi All.
I’m Anatoly, and I work at QA Automation based in Moscow :ru:.

I appreciate your input 🤝

qaleesi16d

Heeey everyone :dancing-dog:

paterichsen15d

wcviprywlpn curious to hear more about your climbing in Mexico, only place I know of is El Potrero Chico. Any other recommendations for an intermediate sport climber?

rhythmrye15d

Outdoor:
• El Potrero Chico I went for NYE and it was amazing
• Oaxaca City Some climbing but not very well maintained, uneven chains

Indoor:
• CDMX Adamante Escandon gym is brand new, big for city, really strong climbers and hard grades
• Puebla City Rocódromo Fusión gym is hybrid indoor/outdoor gym, with 70ft sport routes
• Oaxaca City Erikuas tiny, very friendly, tough bouldering gym with great community

Next:
• CDMX bouldering comp, Boulder Smash 2022, March 12 I'll be attending, yall should come as well
• DWS in Merida
• Sport in Jilotepec 1h from CDMX
• Sport in Los Remedios, 1h from CDMX
• Sport in Peña de Bernal, 3h from CDMX

micayla15d

Hi everyone! My name is Micayla, I'm from California, and I'm new to the digital nomad life but very excited to live my travel dreams every day. 😊 I first caught the bug to do this full time after I spent a month working remotely from Ireland in July 2021. I was shocked at how possible it was to live whatever kind of a life I wanted and have been chasing that feeling ever since! Next up, I'm headed to Mexico City :flag-mx:, then Dublin :flag-ie:, Madrid :es:, Sevilla :es:, Manchester :flag-england:, and Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with the idea of moving to the next place every month or two. Excited to be here and get to know you all! waveskin-tone-4

seetheworld14d

I Applaud guys/gals for being 8/10 years on the road. I wish i had done early in my career. I guess, it was not a thing back them (No Wifi). now I am an empty nester, I plan to spend most of this year on the road. Just waiting for Covid to subside.

faisalq13d

Hi everyone. My name is Faisal. I'm from San Francisco :flag-us:, and I work in marketing for an AI startup. After many years in Silicon Valley, I've traded the silicon valley hustle for remote work and travel adventures. It's been amazing! So far I've been to mexico :flag-mx:, peru :flag-pe:, and am currently in colombia :flag-co:. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to explore the world while doing meaningful work, and building meaningful connections. Looking forward to connecting with many of you like-minded nomads and adventurers! 🙂

lucdid13d

Hey there :wave:

Lucas from 🇫🇷 France, living in flag-de Berlin since 2020 but thinking of moving to 🇵🇹 Lisbon in 2022 given the amazing quality of life.

I "digital-nomaded" quite a lot in 2019, around Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Australia, Spain etc. Now, even if I regularly have wanderlust, I'm more sedentary than I used to be :smile:

Professionally I do product management/design + no-code, and work in FinTech at a company called Bonsai.

In my free time you'll see me outdoors (hiking, kitesurfing) as well as cooking and mixing electronic music. I've been embracing ideas and practice of mindfulness/meditation for 3 years now and I'm constantly torn between my job that requires to stay up-to-speed with many digital tools & trends, and my ideals of switching off more and more from social media and screens.

Happy to chat about any of the topics mentioned above, hit me up if you're interested

simonnn13d

Welcome!! I also work in fintech, but in growth. I feel you on being torn about switching off from social. I want to spend less time online but my job requires the same - always up to date on what's going on in digital advertising,

simonnn13d

Whereabouts in Colombia? I'm headed there on Sat for a month

faisalq13d

i'm in medellin. heading to cartegena this weekend

lenapetrova12d

Hi everyone 🧡 My name is Lena. I was born and raised in Russia, St.Petersburg 🇷🇺 and have been living in Berlin 🇩🇪 since 2016.

Professionally I do data science for a research company digital science :female-technologist:. I also enjoy writing, teaching, dancing and basically anything that involves being creative, adventurous and oriented towards self-development.

I have joined the nomadlist as I am considering to relocate in April to Lisbon 🇵🇹 to try out the FIRE method (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and enjoy living close to the ocean. I am coming next week, from _18.01_ _until the end of the month_ to have a feeling of the city and hopefully connect with the community.

I’d be happy to meet and/or co-work with anyone who’s already in the city in this period, as I’d love to experience it as a local, and also connect with those who are planning to relocate there in the nearest future!

lenapetrova12d

I am also now in Berlin and thinking to move to Lisbon in April 🙂

lucdid12d

Welcome! I'm basically doing the same "test" until 27.01, and I'm now 95% convinced I'm going to move here permanently in March/April 😄

antoined12d

Welcome to Lisbon !!

antoined12d

Do you and Lucas like hiking ? we could organize a hike around Lisbon, with others nomads

lucdid12d

Sounds good U01N2CLQDB5! Sorry I can't answer your DM yet because I'm a new member, only in 2 days!

antoined12d

yeaaah I'm supposed to have your whatsapp but I have to rebuild my whatsapp from scratch, my phone died.
what about Sunday 23 for a hike ?

lucdid12d

Sounds good! Let's keep in touch then.

lenapetrova12d

That's a good idea erlluqfyjv , I should be able to join :)

I'll be working during the weekdays, would you recommend any great coffee places with Wi-Fi for work?

antoined12d

I'd recommend taking vodafone 1eur per day unlimited internet 4g sim card (15 euros for 15 days or 30 euros for 30 days). it goes very fast inside Lisbon, like 60 Mbps and you'll be able to work in (almost) all cafés.
You can ask more questions about best coffee places in the #portugal channel !

slawomir12d

Hello! My name is Slawomir and i’m form Poland :flag-pl:. I work as a software engineer (at the moment unemployed :upside_down_face:) I’d love any outdoor activities road cycling, tenis, surfing, volleyball, dancing (salsa, bachata, zouk etc), hiking. I take some very amateur drone shoots - if someone needed. I’m planing visit Gran Canaria at the begging of February, hope to meet some of you at any stage of your trip. 👋

sf198812d

Hello everyone,

my name is Sandor, I was born in Hungary and raised in Berlin, Germany.
We can talk in deflag-huus and un poco :es:.
I’m a freelance Full-Stack Web Developer. I’ve the freedom to work from everywhere but didn’t really use that opportunity. I finished my 4 weeks vacation in Mexico and instead of going back to cold and sad Germany, I decided to work for the next 4 weeks from Playa Del Carmen.
It might be the start of my own digital nomad journey.
I’m happy to meet friendly people to drink a coffee or a beer, chill at the beach or being active.
I’m always open to talk about tech, sports and our beautiful world.
In my free time I like to cook, hike, bike and for sure watch YouTube and Netflix to calm down.
I’m always open to help wherever I can!
Feel free to contact me.
Cheers

Hola Mateus, I was in Barcelona in October and had a blast. Happy to share some highlights:

Gaudí architecture:
• La Sagrada
• Casa Batlló
• Casa Milà
• Parc Güell
Also
beach_with_umbrella La Barceloneta
:fountain:️ Montjuïc
deciduous_tree Ciutadella Park

Tapas:
• Quimet & Quimet (Standing tapas bar)
• Cerveseria Catalan, Ciudad Condal, La Flauta (these are all from the same group, just different branches, they're all _fantastic_!)
• El Nacional (More upscale, they're split into different sections, depending on what you're eating grill/seafood, tapas, etc)

lenapetrova8d

lhfrdkqfsog ahah exactly

lenapetrova8d

rnpwhlvf have you already find a nice place to work from? I'd be glad to join! :)

lucdid7d

vqhbrlnnoltpq yes, I’m working from Impact Hub near the center (Tv. Pedras Negras 1 1.º Direito, 1100-404 Lisboa). It’s a great spot with lots of cool people!

I can’t put the link here as I’m a new member but I’d be happy to give you the contact info of the manager if you want to learn more.

lenapetrova7d

dyotxssr I was thinking more about meeting & coworking in coffee places, but enjoy it there!

antoined7d

I recommend Impact Hub LX too

lenapetrova7d

I prefer a more relaxed and minimalistic vibe to traditional coworking spaces, I think the only coworking I ever liked is Factory in Berlin

lucdid7d

Haha funny I’m also part of Factory 🙂 I like it but it’s often hard to find rooms for calls

antoined7d

beware some cafés forbid laptop (or sometimes only during lunch time), for example The Mill

antoined7d

I'd recommend also checking out Anjos / Arroios area once you're done with downtown

lenapetrova7d

Yeah, I’ve found a few laptop-friendly places and will check them out in a bit. On a side note, if anyone wants to meet up for coffee or a drink today / after-work, I'm down - just arrived vskin-tone-3

brianoc7d

Hey Alex! I'm living in Boston too. Happy to connect if you have any questions!

Howdy all, I'm Joe, a US Citizen who has called Canada home for Nearly 20 years. As of this past September I sold my house and have gone full nomad. I'm a Ruby-on-Rails Engineer, and I arrived in Mexico city Dec 31st 2021.

macsrok7d

Hi Matt, I'm staying in Roma Norte, and mostly working from my apartment, occasionally I will work from a coffee shop. I'm very happy in this neighborhood and I don't believe Juarez is all that far or different. Roma seems to be safe, and I have no more safety concerns walking around at night here that I would any large city. So far I'm really enjoying my time here. I'm mostly here to escape the snow and winter of Canada, I haven't really gone out and about exploring all that much. I am really digging the plethora of options when it comes to street food vendors. My family has bought me a bunch of airbnb experiences as a gift for this Christmas, they are being rather tight lipped as to which, but I know they start this weekend. So more exploring will occur in pretty short order, regardless of if I want to or not 🙂 . I have no real issues so far, The only negative I can think of is the city is kind of smelly, but if that's my only concern I think I'm doing pretty well.

guido7d

Hey, welcome. Stay longer, it's worth it;-)

chrisontour4d

Welcome! While I am here for a couple of months, you are still ahead of me in terms of traveling 🙂 As I also want to travel month to month and will go to Portugal this summer, I would like to ask you one ❓ How are you searching for accommodation? Do you book online with the risk that you do not like it (or can't work effectively) when you arrive?

chrisontour4d

Okay, sounds straightforward and true. I would like to visit both places. I just need to make sure that everything works out as I'm also starting a new job.
