Wow what a let down that Orca site is. They have about 5 over priced properties lol. Does anyone know of any similar apps for month-by-month global stays?

dvpita 2mo

It has all the scam signals

He send me the prices and videos from the MDE ones, but oh boy this seems so overprices 😂

tomasruta 2mo

Best small towns to spend winter in Latin America? Ideally cheap ish flights from NYC

dvpita 2mo

Pipa, Puerto Escondido, Sayulita

skynomia 2mo

I would be careful with those recs.
Sayulita basically mini America with big America prices
Puerto Escondido Very much under construction with minimal things to do. Found it quite boring after a few days

dvpita 2mo

You have better recs?

skynomia 2mo

You sound offended that I added some colour and context to the 4 words you posted

dvpita 2mo

How do I “sound offended” by asking for better recs?

The man has asked for recs

skynomia 2mo

You’re very toxic, not sure if intentionally or not. But just because I added some context, albeit negatively, to your suggestions does not mean I am obliged to provide better suggestions. Very Andrew Tate-ish of you.

However if you insist, I would rec Oaxaca City, rather than Puerto and even though it’s not a small town probably just Mexico City instead of Sayulita.

dvpita 2mo

So basically you have nothing to add regarding his question you just want to add ur opinion on things.

Got it.

skynomia 2mo

If you asked for advice on a location would it be helpful to get just the names of the places or some added information as to why they might be suitable to the initial request? You can do the faux aggro thing online, but you wouldn’t in real life.

nassim 2mo

Hey everyone! Currently in US, planning on spending 5+ months in Latin America

At first I thought of Costa Rica and Belize
But sounds like Argentina/Mexico can be cheaper and or more convenient and also safer

I just want
warm + sunny
Beach (optional)
A social atmosphere (mixed locals and nomads)
Good infra (cashless preferred, good transit)

elemilion 2mo

🛬 zfzxbzseorv just arrived in La Ceiba,Honduras, #latin-america

4gnlex 2mo

If cashless then forget about Argentina, my experience early this year was paying with a foreign card is expensive (50-70% tax I'm not sure, but certainly significantly more than with a national card) so you end up having to bring dollar bills and exchange them for pesos

4gnlex 2mo

Having said that, the place is still nice for everything else and I'd recommend going soon because the next 6 months seem a little weird from a political/social perspective

nassim 2mo

okfjvihk Could you tell me more about the sociopolitical stuff? Gonna look it up but would like your take as well.

Cashless is ideal but optional, won't be a dealbreaker.
I just don't like not having contacts to help me exchange my currency. But I guess banks are always an option.

nassim 2mo

Is Puerto Vallarta safe?
Anyone in Mexico rn want to share what it's like?

4gnlex 2mo

No worries, it's just that given soon-to-come elections and considering how south-american countries are, there's a chance things go wrong in October (albeit a small one)

nassim 2mo

Ah okay -- that's a small risk in many countries. I'll remain optimistic
Thanks for the insight though that's good to know

Great suggestion! I had the same question about Internet in Roatan, but Utila sounds better!

tony88 2mo

Hi all. I'm heading to El Salvador, and noticed that prices for accom is high in El Tunco. But I heard if you just show up you can shop around for cheaper rooms not found on Booking. Is that true? Thanks. My budget is around $15 a night... unless I land a new job (I'm a great writer) lol.

Very safe. PV is significantly structured around catering to middle-aged plus white Americans who want to safely drink Margaritas at the beach everyday.

nassim 2mo

I wonder if that makes it more expensive than other popular nomad MX destinations

It’s not a nomad destination, it’s a tourist destination

srodriguez 2mo

I knew about it. Medellín just has a lot of room for improvement when compared to mega cities like CDMX or NYC.

diegoortiz 2mo

Interesting. Now you made me curious about CDMX 👀

sushi 2mo

CDMX is the cumbia version of NYC

knocte 2mo

the only issue is that the cheaper rooms won't have hot water

knocte 2mo

I guess I'm too old but I cannot get used to just using "room temperature" water for showering, despite the weather being hot

Hi everyone! Has anyone tried Outsite before in general? Was thinking of trying it in Costa Rica next year and would appreciate any insight. Also, benefits of Selina CoLive vs Outsite? Thanks!

davorb 2mo

i asked this question like a year ago. heard some horror stories and decided to stay away. it’s good in some places and not so good in others.

luisgc93 2mo

Both are overpriced IMO. Owner-run colivings are the best. Selina and Outsite are more corporate-like

daviddemeij 2mo

do you have any owner-run colivings you can recommend? I didn’t easily find any in Rio

faiyamrahman 2mo

I can vouch for costa rica. Been there twice and there's a reason so many people build an expat life down there

nicolasforero 2mo

Expensive! But, like any place, your experience will be dictated by the people you find. I went through this year’s Marrakesh earthquake with ten people from Outsite and I couldn't have chosen a better survival team. Bonded with most and making plans to see each other 🙂

carejeremy 2mo

Do you guys know a direct flight from Europe to Honduras?
Or a one connection could be good 😅

maadhuryad 2mo

Thanks guys! I’m planning on looking more into Outsite and probably local co-livings as well

arthurfd 2mo

Hey people, I am arriving to El Salvador this Sunday and I would like to know what is the best option to go from El Salvador Airport to El Tunco, La Libertad?
Does Uber works in there?

About 4G simcards, which Telcom operator has better signal in El Tunco?

belladawna 2mo

uryqnvnyzpiojeq I'd love to hear more about your experience in Marrakech, especially related to the earthquake. I'll be at that Outsite in less than a month!

<@U05TEAFU84W> I enjoy them, but I prefer a more chill laid back vibe. They are expensive, and I wait until they offer a good sale - which isn't super often but well worth it when they do! My trip to Marrakech will be the 3rd Outsite I've visited, and I'm planning to visit Portugal with them afterwards.

maadhuryad 2mo

Oh wow I totally missed U03SLV5RTC2’s message - would love to also hear more about your experience 🙂

<@U0350AGG6PQ> That’s amazing! I’d love to hear more about your experience with them - I’ll message you!

Hey beautiful people ☀️ Anyone in Bariloche, Argentina right now?

nassim 2mo

Ah that probably makes it more expensive then haha

dvpita 2mo

Yes

nopiqueviajante 1mo

I'm here! until next Tuesday

tony88 1mo

I did a bit of research on this. There are shuttle buses you can grab right from the airport down to El Tunco area. They are cheap. They leave regularly. But I would love to know more as well. Not sure about sim cards but I could use that info as well.

arthurfd 1mo

Hey rzgwxxiy thanks for following up.
I checked and Uber works here, so I got one from the airport until El Tunco, it was around 30$, however is good to know that there are more affordable options, I might use on my way out.

About Sim Cards, looks like Claro is the best option here for the area, I got one and no problems, but I also got a nice wifi.

tony88 1mo

I'll be in El Salvador in early Dec if anyone wants to meet up. Then I plan to make my way to Nicaragua. I'm a single, 45 year old Youtuber, Copywriter, Author.

tony88 1mo

That's great. I found a private room on Airbnb for $15 usd a night but it seems pretty shit. How is acomodation there?

tony88 1mo

Are rooms easy to find on the ground. I could only find one place, on airbn at this price.

arthurfd 1mo

there are some options here in El Tunco / Sunzal, mostly hostels with shared rooms, but I personally like looking at Booking, because I have some discounts.
Recommended are The Cabins (its a container room with solid internet, and Papaya Lounge but I don't know their internet speed yet)

mikegwhit 1mo

so where did you end up

mikegwhit 1mo

astwrsoifliggj would love to know more about the "entrepreneur ecosystem" since this fits me and i'd love to meet more people(!)

mikegwhit 1mo

i'd say outsite is expensive and brings in remote / office workers or people who for some reason only want to be around remote office workers.. most people i met through outsite are a mix between inspiring and maladaptive 20-somethings who slightly to outright annoy me.. super glad i did it for my first trip, would just stick to Selina coworks in future and avoid backpackers on my own..

i don't want a private gringo club in a foreign country

i also recommend against pura vida.. i was paying $900/month for cockroaches / monkeys shitting in our yard / constant rain / dengue fever / indoor-outdoor space / sadly lots of trash blown onto the beach / a bunch of cocaine and crack smoking Nicaraguans / over-priced pura vida and casado

i've had dreams of that place and just getting the hell out for a few weeks now.. it is as backwards as USA

diegoarelano 1mo

Hey guys, do y'all prefer exchanging your USD to pesos in your own countries (USA for me) or locally?
When I go to North Africa I know people there in the gray market but since i dont know anyone in mexico idk if I should just go to a certain bank or what

detour888 1mo

Get a Schwab card and just withdraw from ATMs. You get a good rate and they reimburse all the atm fees.

rmmlcstr 1mo

It will be much cheaper in the currency's country

nassim 1mo

We're def doing the Schwab ATM route
So no reason to look elsewhere?

Finally in #mexico ! Loving PV so far (not even 24 hours yet)

Airport line was moving fast. Lady didn’t even talk to us, just grabbed our passports and gave us the stamp.

3/5/2024…

Unsure if that’s May 3rd (would be 6 months) or March 5th (4 months).

Do you know what date format is used in Mexico?

Also, what’s your favorite sunscreen?

tomasgoldenberg 1mo

I think that in may 3rd!

cbilling 1mo

May 3!

nassim 1mo

Great! Thanks guys!
Where would be the most reliable place to confirm? I could ask a local policeman or something

cbilling 1mo

All Mexico dates are done in the dd/mm/yyyy format so it would be very odd for the visa stamp to be different. No visa length is 4 months as far as I know, pretty much always 30, 90 or 180 days with a US passport at least.

But this link also talks about 🇮🇹 embamex.sre.gob.mx/australia/index.php/visitorvisabr />
If you really want to confirm in person go to the customs office or national police office in the airpot.

nassim 1mo

Thanks!

United has CDG to EWR, EWR to SAP. Air France has CDG to ATL, ATL to SAP. And there are many, many more options that fulfill your question.

"From Europe" is way too many options, so I picked Paris since your profile mentions France.

youarezera 29d

Sometimes same-language countries have more direct flights, so I checked Spain and found a Madrid to Honduras direct flight, 11 hours 40 minutes non-stop. Air Europa.

youarezera 29d

This was easy to find using Google Flights by the way, so you know where to look for future reference. Just put start and end locations, one way, and leave the dates blank and it will check for any options between those cities in the next six months.

For favorite sunscreen, please don't put on sunscreen and then immediately go swimming because it's "waterproof." This is called highly effective advertising. My favorite is whichever one is one sale, and I use it very sparingly. I don't think that stuff is very good for you.

srichardhfx 24d

I will be in Santiago, Chile for 5 days between Dec 23-28. Visiting the city for the first time. Would anyone have any recommendations for a STR (Airbnb?) or boutique hotel in a safe but bustling neighbourhood. Ideally close to public transit.
