Hi, first time potential nomad here, who is on regular meds for asthma and allergies. Iโm wondering how to find out about access and availability of meds in various countries. How and where would be a good place to start?
Thanks for helping a newbie out!

I'm preparing my Portuguese D7 long-term visa application and one of the required documents is proof of travel insurance with medical coverage. However, as an Australian citizen, if put that as my country of residence in many travel insurance companies' quick quote forms, I'm unable to get ANY insurance coverage at all because of the current travel ban out of Australia, and the Australian govt's 'Do Not Travel' advice to ALL countries. I know that Aussies are applying for, and successfully getting visas from the Portuguese Consulate here, so where and how are they fulfilling this insurance requirement if insurers aren't selling any coverage? Does anybody know or have any ideas?
Any suggestions for seamlessly receiving SMS Verifications from US financial institutions and other sites while traveling internationally continuously? Wonโt keep my US Verizon account due to cost and currently plan to use local sims at each destination (T-Mobile and Project Fi are NOT an option as they terminate for continuous roaming). In summation, I wonโt have a US mobile account.
Unless Iโm missing something, which is very possible, this appears to be the single most complex issue Iโve encountered in my preparations, and one that no one addresses. I would greatly appreciate any possible solution that works 100% of the time. Canโt afford surprises in this regard. Many Thanks! Jack.
Hi! I want to relocate to Spain and I was wondering if someone can recommend a SIM card with a good data package.
Thanks
Hey travellers, how are you doing?
Do you have problems to plan your trip choosing any currency they want? For example, Iโm going to the UK but would like to plan my trip (How much will I spend in housing/food/having fun/attending attractions?) in US Dollar or Euro or any other money.
How do you guys do it easily?
What is your ergonomic set-up while traveling?
I personally have an external keyboard, and am currently exploring getting a laptop stand, some lumbar support, and a trackball-mouse.
What do you use? How are you balancing health / portability?
How do you track a total number of days youโve spent in different countries during the past 12 months?
I find it to be important for visa and tax purposes to know how long and where Iโve been and Iโm unable to find any software that solves this.
For those constrained by their businessโ time zone, how do you manage this?
My home office is in Los Angeles โ though I could swing anything in Central/South America, Iโm looking at going to Lisbon or Chiang Mai for a bit. Both of them are >=8hrs difference potentially wreaking havoc on the work + social life + sleep split. This is a common question for nomads but there doesnโt seem to be a lot of posting on the site about it.
What do you guys think? Any Americans working in Asia or Europe that does it well? I could likely negotiate with my supervisor to work in Eastern standard if I was in Lisbon/Europe, which wouldnโt be too much of a stretch. Noon 'til 8pm. A bit more manageable than Chiang Mai or Bali.
I am an English/American currently in Israel, and heading in a week to Georgia/Armenia for two weeks and then want to head to Russia for a week.
As I am only in Israel for another week, would it be possible to apply for the visa in Israel and ask to receive it in Armenia (my last stop before I want to go to Russia)?
Or perhaps there is another better option that I have available?
Iโve been looking to travel for a few years now, and Iโm finally at the point where Iโm pretty much ready to get going, hopefully next month.
That said, Iโve not planned ahead well, and it only just occurred to me about vaccinations. Iโve done a bit of research and there are vaccinations available, but Iโm unsure how necessary they are.
I plan to chat to my local nurse/doctor before going, but Iโm also interested to hear whether most people do vaccinate at all before heading out or not?
In terms of specifics, Iโm planning to fly to Japan and then move south, likely hitting up Thailand, Bali, Vietnam etc.
Not expecting any official health advice here, more just personal experience. Any thoughts appreciated 
Is there anyone around who spends most of their time in Latin America? After short trips to Peru earlier this year, Iโve now come back to Lima to stay for another three months and will then head to Buenos Aires. Lima will be kind of my home base but I aim to explore as much as possible of Latin America in the next couple of years. No interest in Asia, Africa or North America and no intention to go back to Europe.
Iโm curious to hear from the nomads out there who are traveling as a married couple (or long term committed couple, no matter). Many of the articles, guides, and tips one reads are understandably written from the single travelerโs perspective (even if they are traveling in a group).
What nomads are out there traveling with a marriage mate and/or family?
What are the vaccinations I should get traveling from US to Indonesia? I read the CDC suggstions, but Iโm curious on more anecdotal knowledge from experienced travelers to Indonesia.
This is something Iโve not really seen addressed anywhere much but, when you are staying somewhere medium term, say 1-6 months, what you do about cooking? I figure anything shorter than that and you can make do, while over 6 months you arenโt going to mind stocking a kitchen so much. But, for that medium term period, it feels like a waste to spend too much on pantry supplies and equipment but too long to get by on basics.
Anyway, Iโd love to know what other people in regards to cooking. Do you eat out for all your meals, have a few โgo toโ dishes that you can cook anywhere with minimal equipment (mine would be omelettes) or do you adjust to the local cuisine?

Hi,
Do nomads like to travel together? I mean, not in each otherโs pockets, but look for accomodation together, meet with each other daily or regularly, help out in new cities, motivate/inspire each other in the business? 
Iโve done nomad lifestyle in the past in 2009/2014 and this time I want to collaborate and support with other people, each on their own mission. I love this nomad endeavour but to be honest I admit it can be quite time-consuming and lonely. 
*Message on NomadList locations?
*Message on Couchsurfing groups? (without sounding like Tinder!)
*Message on other??
Iโm currently in Portugal and heading back to Estonia for January/February (Iโm from Australia). Later in 2017 I am open to places, though Iโm not keen on high pollution, high humidity, high cost cities.
Feedback, interest or ideas welcome!
Thanks, 
Madeline
Hi all!
So, Iโm in Colombia at the moment and have experienced some really intense harassment and even violence here. I was shocked because itโs been recommended to me by so many people, and so I thought perhaps it would be useful to start a thread here where we (we being women and other minorities) can talk about places where we recommend either not traveling or being particularly on guard.
So, are there any places youโve been where youโve experienced more violence, harassment, or maltreatment? Are there any places that you recommend other women/LGBT/ethnic minorities be particularly careful or not travel to?
I donโt want this to become a super negative thing or a personal preference thing, but I am hoping to get some insight into areas that might be more concerning and/or unsafe for certain groups so that we can all make informed decisions about where we want to spend our time. I really wish someone would have been frank with me about the issues here in Colombia, so Iโm hoping we can be frank with each other about places where we havenโt felt 100% safe.
So, Iโll start:
Iโve had little to no problems in other parts of South and Central America, but here in Colombia I have witnessed not only street harassment, but also actual violence and malice and, worse, have seen people who could do something to stop it shrugging it off and saying โitโs normal here.โ I would not recommend it for women and particularly women traveling alone.
Similarly, in Morocco I felt very uncomfortable as a female traveler. There wasnโt as much yelling or in-your-face harassment, but there was a ton of staring, men invading my space (standing over me in a bus and staring down at me from less than a foot away, for example), and men treating me like a second-class citizen (refusing to let me pass them on the sidewalk and instead forcing me to go around them into a busy street). I was traveling with a friend and we were both pretty exhausted by the end of the trip.
I want an insurance that covers my belongings only.
I already have a international travel health insurance, hence I do not need some link or recommendation to do-it-all packages (i.e. insurance for health + rescue + belongings).
I came across this threads:
But they did not help me because:
Ideally, Iโd like to find an insurance that can insure my belongings regardless of my nationality & residence. Any link to information of quality is welcome.
My initial plan was/is to travel by car from my hometown (Groningen, The Netherlands) to South East Asia. This will be the best trip based on cultures, landscapes and achievement.
The downside is all the visas you need for the countries in the middle of this trip. The hassle and the costs.
The alternative, what is in a name, is to start in Costa Rica. Hitting North America with a counter clockwise round. And then the same for South America.
Till now a dream trip, but I cannot get them out of my head.
For my I rest my hunger by living in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia for half a year.
But still looking t all the option for make this happen, eventually.
So, any Digital Nomads traveling and living form their car here?
My husband and I have residency in the state of Tennessee in the USA and my in-laws collect our mail for us there. We only pass through Tennessee about once a year.
Does anyone know what happens if weโre called to jury duty? Is traveling a legit excuse to get out of it?
If you are living and working out of Thailand (UTC+07:00) but work with people in the New York EST (UTC-05:00) Time Zone, how do you deal / handle the time difference and still be able to enjoy or make the most of the experience without turning into a tired night owl zombie?
Better yet, what do you find to be the benefits / drawbacks of having to work on such a schedule? (specially in Thailand)
Any advice from those who have done it for a long time? (2+ months)
Thanks,
Will
