Hey NF,
Is the NomadCost on NomadList representative for a single person traveling or can it be used to estimate the cost for two people in the region/city? Thanks!

Hi, Iโve seen that Nomad List offers different options that could work for connecting with other nomads that are in the same place as me (forum, Slack, user maps, matches and maybe even more options I havenโt seen), but Iโm not sure what is the best/recommended way to use all these options.
Should I use all of them? Start with a message in the forum and/or Slack?
Sending private messages to a lot of people feels a little bit โaggressiveโ. And matches are not based on current location if I understood it correctly.
By the way, I just arrived at Budapest
Weโre Americans planning to be in Europe for all of 2020 - approx. 90 days in each country, and alternating Schengen and non-Schengen. Our destinations will likely include four of these: Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland, Romania, and Spain.
Can anyone give us advice on cell phones? We would prefer to keep our current (U.S) numbers if at all possible. We donโt anticipate making many local calls, but will phone the U.S. about once a week. Weโll use our phones for internet quite often.
Any advice for our situation would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Heather and Lars
Weโre researching places to use as a home base next year, and are leaning towards Mexico or Panama for 10 months (with 1 week โvacationsโ to explore surrounding countries)
But, I want to settle some place where the infrastructure is good enough for fast, reliable internet - fast enough to run live webinars without worrying that Iโll be S.O.L due to internet issues when itโs time to go live.
And ideally, Iโd like to be on the coastโฆ I like to have ocean/beach access without the need for a drive.
And not in a malaria zone (just saying, since Panama in particular has many areas that Iโd rule out simply due to the need for malaria prevention meds)โฆ itโs one thing to take that stuff for a few weeks long trip, but I donโt want to take it for months on end.
Thoughts?
Thanks for reading all
Hey!
Iโm wondering how many developers travel with a MBP 13" vs 15"? I currently use a late-2012 13" for iOS development, but Iโm pondering the 15" because Xcode is so resource hungry. On the downside, it is rather heavyโฆ
Do you travel with a 15"? Do you wish youโd opted for the 13" instead?
Cheers
P.S Iโm asking developers specifically as system spec is more crucial than, say, for a copywriter.

Hello All,
Saw Vermont rolled out an incentive to get more remote workers to live there, Does anyone plan on applying and If so why? Reason Iโm asking is I work for an organization in Tulsa, Ok that wants to also bring in Nomads, and would love to hear your thoughts on what such a plan should look like
Any help would be Awesome!
Ben
am italian, speaking german, french, spanish.
Iโm looking for a base for the upcoming winter season.
on my radar i have following options:
France = I love the country, speak its languge, enjoy its food, just the climate ainโt most warm unless your in the deep south (good wines too)
Spain = After one year of living Mexico and speaking fluently spanish this rather new country could be very interesting, if not intriguing. Valencia probably on my top lists.
Italy = havenโt been in Italy for a while, though iโm italian. Generally very sociable country and if your not a tax resident the sounds of living in it is quite fascinating.
Greece = Never been there, food and climate would be probably very suitable if not super sweet. I can see my self overlooking the Agean see on a cup of wine while work is done stretching into sweet weekends.
Ukraine = I know bloody cold and politically tense, yet arguably cheap and still safe (iโm used to Mexican standards). It would be a interesting ride for sure, and low expenses would mean easy route to stay competitive and build momentum in my business.
All other options are out of sight, UK , IRELAND are too cold and expensive. I would drink too much to feel sociable
Where are you guys heading?
I have October, November, December to opt in , new year Iโd probably HOP into a newer country, still EU-Bound โฆ
Give me some pros and cons.
I recently purchased a second monitor to connect to my MacBook Pro 15". I use the Nextstand laptop stand to get my MacBook to eye level. Iโm wondering what second monitor (without base) users are using to get their second monitor at the same level. I know of this company Elevate Stand (.com), but it seems a bit heavy and bulky (although I guess it must be somewhat, if it is to hold a monitor).
Hello all,
Iโm just interested on anyones experience of renting short term (1-3 months) accommodation in Medellin, Colombia.
I had a look on Airbnb of course, lots of places, on the more expensive which isnโt a huge issueโฆ Iโm just wondering if in anyones experience itโs better to take a room for a week and shop around when I get there or whether I should just book a month upfront? I recently had a bad experience with Airbnb so not dying to go down that road again just yet if Iโm honest.
Iโll be arriving in Medellin from November onwards over the Xmas period and likely through till January, maybe longer. Another friend is coming with me so we could potentially rent a 2 bed apartment, or Iโd also be happy in a studio or a private room in a decent house even. Iโm thinking El Poblano or Laureles, as we are two girls with limited Spanish.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks
New Year 2017 is coming Iโm wondering where digital nomads going to celebrate it? And whats special plan do you have?
Iโm still at phase of planning for New Year and cant decide a place in Europe where to go Italy, Spain, Portugal?
Hi guys!
Iโm currently in Vietnam, then heading back to Portland, Oregon for a couple months.
Itโs been awhile since Iโve been to Europe, and Iโve never been to Eastern Europe.
For those who have spent time in both Prague and Budapest, is there a city you prefer over the other? I realize theyโre relatively close, and I can always take weekend trips to the city that I donโt choose to stay in.
Thinking I will be there for at least a month. Will be working, but Iโll also take some time off. Prefer walkability. Decent internet.
Any input or opinions on this would be great! Thanks.
Hey guys.
Iโm in the unfortunate situation (and true Digital Nomadโs worst nightmare) where the Canadian tax man (i.e. the CRA) has decided to come calling. And calling hard.
Any recommendations for Canadian Tax Accounts / Tax Lawyers specializing digital nomads / expats / non residents?
Hereโs the deal:
Iโm a digital nomad living in Thailand who has NOT lived in canada since the middle of 2011, and in that time, only been back to canada three times for a brief visit (with a total period between all those years of less than 90 days out of the 5 years).
I make an online income (affiliates, adsense, and such) of which all if it does not derive from Canada. And as stated, I donโt live there anymore and havenโt in many years. I donโt own houses, cars, or anything (I do have a personal bank account though and a DL โ you need those to function mostly). Iโve only used Canada as my bank account, from which I would send money abroad to live while outside of Canada, which was the entire period of time.
Anyways, the taxman back in Canada doesnโt know this (that Iโm a non resident) and of course has now come to collect. I had income tax demands sent to an address (parentsโ) stating I owe a very high five figure balance in income tax and owe it right away.
The whole digital nomad thing has just come to life the past years and when I left Canada in 2011/2010, no one new much about making money online, how to pay taxes when you donโt live in your home country, etc. I was doing this earlier than most (from this forum, I gather itโs common now).
I assume Iโll probably need a Canadian tax accountant and mayhaps a tax lawyer versed inโฆwellโฆdigital nomads. Iโm going to call the CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) and try to explain that I donโt live there and havenโt (and I can prove it), but yea. It may take more than that.
At this point, Iโve been looking how to properly structure my affairs (creating an Estonian Corp, creating an Thailand corporation) to properly handle how I should structure things in the future, but in the meantimeโฆ
Advice or a recommendation for a specific tax specialist (iโm from BC, Canada if that helps) would be awesome.
Ben
Iโm visiting Medellin this October for a month and was wondering whatโs the best way to find a place there.
Iโm looking at El Pabelado, but on Airbnb itโs all like $1500, when I know the real rent price there for a 1br should be $600.
Anyone can recommend some locals so I wonโt get scammed/overpay?
Hi Nomads!
Starting January 2016 Iโm going to be starting a year as a Digital Nomad.
The last 5 years Iโve never worked with less than 2 monitors in front of me.
Sure, Iโve done some cafรฉ and hotel-room work. But all my biggest project has all been done in front of a stationary setup.
I do webdesign and development and have created a working habbit with several monitors on a large desk. Funny enough this is my biggest concern getting closer to January.
How do i teach myself to work from a 15" screen?
Do you find working from a 15" screen enough or do you have some kind of magical folding screen in your backpack?
If you have any ideas for me keeping a dual-monitor setup (The laptop being the first monitor) Iโm all ears!
Regards! And thank you for this delightful Forum!
Hi guys,
We are a team of 10 people looking to rent a house/villa preferably with a swimming pool somewhere in Koh Samui?
Do you know any contact or recommendations?
Tnx
Are there guys here with income over $10k month living more luxury-like lifestyle? I struggle to find friends with similar lifestyle who can travel anywhere and not care about the money, who can go to a nice restaurant or bar and not look at the prices.
I am not a douche bag (mostly) who only cares about the money, but the majority of people I met are trying to spend less and it kills so many opportunities to have funโฆ I am not rich at all, but I hate โbackpackerโ lifestyle and call myself a โflashpackerโ.
I used to live in Bangkok and I visit this city frequently. Now Iโm in Saigon and going to Taipei in the end of Nov. Anyone wants to connect?
