If luggage space (and weight) was not a problem, what items will you travel with that you can't carry now?

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:

- 🛂 Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers

- 🎓Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate

- 🏛 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!

Can anyone recommend a good accommodation website for Chiang Mai?

Winter is coming and I’m 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?

I have two passports from different countries and am trying to understand where can I travel now. Is there a publicly available map of countries open for visitors by passport country that I can use to see what are my options? I was pretty sure such a thing should exist, but cannot easily find any.

Maybe at least there're maps for specific passports? Mine are Russian and American.

If there's no such thing, I'd be down to build one, let me know if interested to collaborate :)

Going on 3-6 month #vanlife trip throughout the USA and Canada, and setting up my data connectivity to be able to work on the road. Without going into depth (unless you ask), I’m trying to figure out options for cell service as a US citizen in Canada, and looking for everyone’s input:
(1) Project Fi: any experience or feedback on how Fi works in Canada? I’ll be almost exclusively in British Columbia.
(2) US Carriers: any feedback on AT&T or Verizon?

Thanks, all!

Hey guys!

We love Mexico. We’re excited to find outstanding towns to live in for 2-12 months at a time. We’re also open to Central American gems.

We especially appreciate learning about those smaller towns that are lesser known but amazing. Personal favorites!

Here are some of our interests:

• a paradise vibe: ocean, lush greenery, vibrant arts, and/or old town charm
• at least 3 Mbps download speed
• great cost of living
• considerable expat and retiree crowd
• not too much of an urban city — though a smaller town outside a city can work
• a bit touristy is okay

Here are lesser-discussed towns that caught our eye — we’d love impressions of these and more that come to mind:

• Huatulco
• Ixtapa
• Guanajuato
• And more?

Thanks so much, guys!

A friend of mine is setting off on her first long solo trip, starting in Brazil. She will initially be backpacking but may turn to working on the road at some point.

I’d like to get her a nice gift for the trip and though I have a few ideas, I thought I’d come here for some further inspiration. What have you found yourself missing on the road, or what item or service has made your travels better/more comfortable/enjoyable ?
An example from my experience: a way to organise laundry, eg packing cubes or dry bags.

I will be nomading full time soon and I will travel with a regular backpack and a carry on bag.

As nomads we travel on many different airlines and they have different carry on bag size standards:

Should I care about that? Did any of you had any issues with carry on luggage?

I just arrived to Medellin and did not anticipate that no one would speak any english at all. (I’m used to Asia where everyone knows the basics)

I need a SIM card, I found a place at the mall where they sell them, but it’s not a simple transaction and I don’t speak Spanish.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I’m thinking about joining a Professional Association.

I’m interested in networking, mentoring (being mentored), access to discounted services (e.g. insurance) and notification of other things that I’m currently not doing but should be doing.

I’m not so interested in others’ perceptions, e.g. looking more professional/trustworthy.

I’m based in New Zealand but curious about the international associations as well.

A quick Google gives me the Institute of IT Professionals http://iitp.nz/ in New Zealand.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi there,

This might be a bit vague but hopefully someone out there can help. I’m from the UK and am registered as a Sole Trader currently. I’m looking to create a new business, and am unsure of the best structure to use. I don’t really want to continue in this business as a Sole Trader because I don’t think it has so much credibility compared to something like a limited company.

The business is going to be a digital marketing agency in a specific niche, it’s going to be very small scale with very low overheads. I’m not going to be based in any specific location so I’m also unsure about which location to officially base my business (base in the sense that it will be my registered business address for example, I wouldn’t have any offices unless just Virtual).

I also don’t imagine that I’ll be turning over much as it will likely just be me, I may hire some freelancers at a later date but that depends on whether I can find enough clients.

Appreciate any help on this, thanks for reading!

I recently lost/misplaced my ATM card and need to get it replaced. I’m currently in Thailand but leave early next month so figured I could get it sent to my next place, in Phnom Phen. However, the person I’m renting off has said it’s very insecure and difficult to send mail to a residential address so to go ask if I can get it sent to the embassy. I’m only there for less than a month though and don’t want to be cutting it fine again.

Is there any other way to receive mail?

I’m part of the 0.01% who dislike working on a laptop and require a big fat LCD and desktop keyboard on a huge desk surface, with a large glass of something on the side (you can do that with a laptop too but still).

As I’m soon moving to a medium town of Peru where modern IT hardware may be hard to get, I’ll want to bring my main PC components (motherboard/CPU/RAM/HDD/GPU) in my cabin luggage.

Has anyone else in the world done that before and if so are there things to avoid and smart tricks to follow?
