Hello! I am looking for an English speaking GP in Berlin who can write a prescription for schedule 1 medication. Currently I am in Northern Ireland who have a very complicated medical system, which is not Digital Nomad friendly! I would like to make an appointment with a GP who can help me ASAP. Thanks!
looking for a place to rent for 3 months in Berlin.
except for Airbnb, have you tried any other online services?
cheers!

Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the annual base salary for a full time junior to mid designer would be in either Frankfurt(Main) or Hamburg, Germany.
Thanks,
Natalia!
Hi I’m Japanese<>English Translator/Blogger currently lives in Leipzig,Germany.
I was wondering if any of you know any websites/services for refugees and immigrants that support them to be a Digital Nomad? Like, seminars, courses, lectures, guides, e-book in their language (Arabic,Albanian,Serbian,Kurdish,Pashto,Dari, etc…)?
I know some platforms for refugees to find a job online, but these jobs are not mainly location free works. I’m wondering how realistic it is for refugees to work remotely? I am thinking to list up the Upwork type of online job platforms on my blog, and accordingly do some seminars ; how to get jobs, how to monetize your blog and so on…
I’m asking this because lots of refugees I meet here are all complaining how hard for them to get a physical job in Germany, especially my area Leipzig has less job opportunities in general. (Thus, cost of living is amazing for DN like me.) So, I think going DN could be a good solution for them. What do you think?
Hey! Great idea if you can pull it off 
I know there are several projects in Berlin to teach refugees how to code and ship products (you might remember this headline?).
I forgot the names, but a quick google search revealed this article about the movement.
Good luck!
I don’t have any resources to offer, but perhaps look into basic coding courses in those languages? I’m a writer who also does some basic code work and I’ve always thought coding to be the simplest entry point for remote/gig work. Even just building basic Wordpress websites, editing HTML and CSS, etc. often pays very well and many many companies don’t care where employees are based.
Good luck.
Thank you for your reply! Yes, that is really good idea. I’ve never seen the coding courses offered in one of those languages in Leipzig, but maybe I can help to build the community.
I’m also learning basic coding right now, and I can already feel that it’s going to help me financially when I’m able to do more things. Thanks for the inspirations!
Are there regular meetups for Nomads in Berlin? I will be spending a month in Berlin and would like to meet and get to know the community. I had a great experience in Ubud, Bali (meetups, workshops, idea exchanges etc) and looking for something similar in Berlin. Any thoughts and ideas?
Thank you,
Inna
I find most of the meetups on https://meetup.com, especially tech-related.
The advantage of the betahaus is though, that the café is free of charge (you can rent a quiet place upstairs).
The weather is not really good anymore, but sometimes it’s cheaper to get around with the scooters than public transportation ( https://www.emio-sharing.de / https://www.joincoup.com/ )
If you have an iOS device, this app might also be helpful: http://workhardanywhere.com/
Hi Inna,
There are many meetups, workshops, and events for nomads in Berlin. Also, check the coworking spaces when you are here. Reach out and we can meet for an exchange, if you like.
Cheers,
Gerhard
Thank you, Gerhard. I am staying in Mitte area, any coworking spaces you would recommend in the area. I noticed that Betahaus has a good program and community, but it might be a bit far for me, any others?
Inna
Don’t worry, it is all very accessible and public transport is great. Betahaus is just off the U8 subway stop “Moritzplatz”.
In Mitte, you have the well-known St. Oberholz, a café with adjacent coworking space right at Rosentalerplatz. A few weeks ago, they opened a second space 5 min away. If you prefer it a bit quieter, across the street of St. Oberholz is Fabisch/Circus Cafe.
Close to Friedrichstraße is the “Basecamp”, a cafe/coworking space from Telefonica. You can just show up and get a coffee and work. There are also more upscale coworking spaces which usually require a monthly membership, There’s a new one at Hackescher Markt. There’s Mindspace close to “Stadtmitte”. Those are the ones I visited so far, you’ll easily find more.

Based on Darmstadt's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Very luxurious yet has some parts of the city that are charming and have gothic architecture. A lot of tourists and people from Balkans who work in region. Pretty expensive. If you are not very rich just visit it and choose to stay in some other, more modest german city. In my opinion Frankfurt is city nr 3 in Germany after Berlin and Munich and I have travelled through much of Germany. Hamburg and Cologne are somewhere with the Frankfurt, but Frankfurt is more luxurious.
