Just wondering what your favourite tips for connecting with like-minded people are, particularly when youโre only in one location for a few weeks / months, and donโt speak the local lingo.

Iโm not active in the couchsurfer community, but Iโve heard from a lot of other travelers that they use the site just for the meetups (not for the couches!). Iโve gone once to one of their meetups in the Dominican Republic and the mix of international travelers was really a breath of fresh air.
Iโm not sure if Iโd call it โnetworkingโ, but if Iโm somewhere for more than a week, I usually check http://meetup.com if there is anything fitting my interests. (That mostly involves board games and game development for me.)
If you are talking about other freelancers/nomads, check if there are any co-working spaces. Additionally, http://hashtagnomads.com has rooms for some of the more popular cities.
Local subreddits. I wish I was kidding.
Hereโs a short I wrote on how a post on r/paris resulted in a brief adventure and new friend during an unplanned 24 hour layover.
Not sure how active meetup.com is internationally but itโs also worth a shot.
Hi everyone,
I would love to hear what you'd like me to build next on Nomad List, or any other product/feature feedback ideas you have.
It's been 6+ years now but I'm in this for the long term and with the boost remote work got last year it's even more exciting to work on Nomad List than ever.
Current roadmap is here: twitter.com/levelsio/status/1363204985488572417?s=20 and pbs.twimg.com/media/EusS9PKXEAUR8xp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
The next products/features I have planned:
- ๐ Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers
- ๐Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate
- ๐ Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers
Thanks a lot!
What are the best places right now in the Caribbean/LatAM? (Also cheapest flights/accommodation?) Asking from the US.
As part of signing up for this website I was hoping I would come across a list of Visa and/or Residency requirements by country ideally in a table format to assist with decision making. Does anybody recommend any other websites that might present the information in this format (or Google Spreadsheet)?
I love living in walkable areas of town. I can always find them. But now I'm wondering where in the world are the most walkable places? I'm imagining walk streets (no cars), zoning allowing both business and residential, parks or beaches ,etc.
Hi guys,
After the Netherlands, the Bay Area, Colorado and being on the van life for 8 months, I am now in Sedona, AZ with a few other digital nomads. We are sharing a home here and are wondering if there are more like minded people in the area.
We do a bunch of hikes and campouts in the northern of Arizona. If you would like to connect with us, please do so :)

Has anyone figured out a way to get setup with a virtual number and internet connection anywhere you go?
Hi everybody. I live and work in Germany and want to go to Canary Islands for 6 months to work from there. I'm going to keep my current job, just change the "home" in the home office part of things. Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of? I was reading about becoming a residence after 183 days, thus having to pay taxes there plus my employer having to register there. Does anybody know how it works exactly? Thanks a lot!
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?
Hey everyone, my girlfriend and I have been nomading for about 8 months now and weโve had a total blast doing it, but something weโve both struggled with is how to stay in touch with personal/professional networks while abroad, especially since we donโt speak the language in most places we live. When youโre at home or in a single English-speaking city, you can attend one of those awful professionals groups and make 10 business connections in 10 minutes, but when youโre moving around monthly, itโs just harder to keep up personal and professional relationships, let alone build new ones. So, as friends who understand this wonderful but often lonely lifestyle, how do you keep your networks up while on the road?
Anyone else keen cyclist or runner? Iโm an ex-triathlete andโwhilst Iโve got my wardrobe down to a minimumโIโm lugging around a rather large box on my travels containing my road bike. Am not doing the whole bike-touring thing, just using it for adventures, exploring, keeping fit, taking epic photos, etc., and taking my own bike is far nicer than renting.
Finding the balance between that and real work is a bit of a challenge, mostly in terms of a hard ride in the morning will mean Iโm a little foggy throughout the rest of the day, concentration-wise.
Still, Iโd rather use and enjoy my health whilst Iโm young instead of waiting until I retire to do these things.
(If you do bike or run, do you also Strava?)
I got inspired when someone else mentioned that nomads/100% remoters are kind of niche and even hard to find vs the norm. Is this really the case in other peopleโs experience?
I know most would jump at the chance if it was offered, at the same time for most people I know it would be a first for them and many I know would struggle with the self mgmt/productivity aspect but given time most would probably be onboarded successfully.
What I described as my ideal, speaking to another startupper a few months ago she described it as her hell. She would not want to be isolated and wants to see her team every day and hang out with them.
