Hello Nomads,
is anyone in Tenerife at the moment? Iโm moving there from the 1st of August and not getting out of it for at least 6 months.
Iโm going to stay in Puerto De La Cruz.
Do any of you has ever been there and do you recommend this city to me? Or should I look for an apartment elsewhere in Tenerife?
Also, how do you find cheap long-term houses there? I would love one with a private pool.
Thanks,
Andrea
Cicar is the cheapest / easiest car rental agency. You can email me xaviercobos at gmail
Why online it says that the entire month of August will cost me 700โฌ? Thatโs a lot!
Is it because of the high season or because I have to negotiate there, offline and locally?
Thanks,
Andrea
Iโve written a couple of things about Tenerife in this thread: Whatโs the best place to stay in the Canaries? 
Iโve been living in Tenerife since October of last year but in the Capitol of Santa Cruz. Since I was here to work remotely but also reclaim my Spanish citizenship, I opted to sign a rental contract, which runs 1/3 the cost of an Airbnb.
If you plan to stay more than 3 months, I would strongly recommend that. Any leasing office can help you and their fee (one month) is easily saved with the hugely reduced rent. All you need is a passport.
I do not particularly enjoy living in Santa Cruz. Itโs more of a pueblo than a true city โ although it doesnโt look like it. The locals in Santa Cruz donโt have as much interaction with foreigners as in other parts of the island and so they can be a bit reserved and stand-offish. Though they are warm on first meeting, itโs hard to get to know them or break into their circles.
Few locals go out in the evenings, and entertain at home instead. This is very different from other parts of Spain. After 7pm itโs pretty dead except for a few streets with shops or bars. This is true throughout most of the island with the exception of the South.
No matter where you live, get involved with some kind of local activity to meet people. To say the people here have โisland mentalityโ) as in Hawaii would be a polite way of putting it. Iโve had rocks thrown at me while surfing, and had a guy punch me in the face just walking down the street. But this was all in the Bajamar area which is notoriously redneck. Visit but beware. Haha.
Iโve only spent a few days in Puerto de la Cruz, and while itโs pretty, itโs also pretty freaking dead most of the year. This was once the hot spot for travelers but no more. If you donโt speak German, you wonโt be able to interact with most visitors. And further, most visitors there are old and dying. That being said, there is a co-working space there that you linked to, but every time I went it was completely empty. For the price they ask, Iโd suggest you check it out first. If youโre gonna be alone you can save the loot and work from home.
As stated by someone else, car rentals are cheap. You can actually rent a car monthly for 300 euros, which is a screaming deal. This includes full insurance and theyโll even take cash, so thereโs no need to let them have your card on file. You can then take that car on the ferry to other islands, which is a great way to explore.
There is also a great bus network that covers the whole island which is super cheap. Not sure what the other poster was talking aboutโฆsounds like they only explored taxis. These buses have pretty much 24-7 service along major routes and you can cross the island for about 3 euros. Itโs a great way to get around, comfortable and air conditioned.
Tenerife is full of awesome hiking, fishing, surfing. If you like nature, youโll love it. If you want a more cosmopolitan experience with lots of digital nomads, definitely go to Gran Canaria instead. With only 40 miles between them, these islands are worldโs apart. Iโd suggest visiting both before locking anything down in terms of housing.
In closing, just donโt expect to โexperience Spainโ while here in the Canaries. The islands are mostly full of Venezuelans and Cubans. This means people are even more โtranquiloโ than in Spain. Plans made are never firm, and expect things that should happen quickly to take a long time.
The food is not Spanish by any means and rather bland. But Iโm from California and eat like a Mexican, so maybe itโs just my taste. Not saying itโs bad, just not very good either. If youโve been to Colombia, the food experience is similar, but the locals arenโt as friendly.
Iโd rate it a B- compared to other places Iโve been. But you can live insanely cheap and the weather is great.
Iโm leaving to live in Madrid Aug 15 so if you wanna meet up when you arrive let me know.
Thank you so much for all these informations.
Where have you find such a cheap car rental?
I have been through many websites but the minimum price I saw for a rent is 600 a month.
Which one did you get the car from?
I would also like to meet you, if it is possible.
It would be very interesting to connect with ambitious and kind people like you. (we also both work remotely, in a way or another, so Iโm definetely interesting in offering you a tea and talk about it if youโd like).
Thank you so much again for all these precious informations,
Andrea
I returned from Puerto de la Cruz last month, I had been there for just over 2 months from April - June and had such an awesome time. I stayed in the co-living and worked in the co-working space offered by coworkinginthesun.com. In my opinion it was a little over priced for what it was, but there was a good group of us there at that time mostly in our 20โs and 30โs and we all hung out together. I also rented a car from a company called โorlandoโ (but booked it online through a comparison website) which cost around ยฃ190 for 30 days (thatโs without the full insurance and I also had to pay around โฌ50 for the initial fuel, but I could return the car empty). The awesome thing with the canary islands is their incredibly low tax; petrol is around โฌ0.85 a litre (at least it was while I was there a month ago). Also, I was 24 at the time (turned 25 last month), so was still classed as a young driver when I hired the car. I used travelsupermarket.com to book the car. Iโm returning to Puerto on August 25th and using the co-living and co-working space from Co-Working in the Sun again for at least a month, so I may see you there if youโre going to use the co-working space. Otherwise drop me a message nearer the time and weโll go for a beer. Iโve been told thereโs going to be 4 other co-workers there around the time Iโm there
Hello!
I was in tenerife last month, in Puerto de La Cruz (My brother lives there with his family).
I was in an AirBNB really close to the beach and with an awesome WIFI (20mb, constants) and location (Av Venezuela, near Surf Beach and restaurants. I also found some very nice cafรฉ to work).
The public transportation is expensive there, so Iโd recomment to rent a car for a day if you pretend to go tour to the south part of the island or to La Laguna - Santa Cruz, it cost around 25โฌ a day and itโs waaaay cheaper than any taxi.
Tho I never went there, I was planning to, so I asked for a coworking space and everyone told me this one was nice: http://www.coworkinginthesun.com/
I hope it helps!
Hi !
Iโll be moving to Tenerife at the end of October (and stay there for about 4 months). I know people there, and La Laguna has been recommended to me a lot, probably the worst weather in Tenerife for the winter, but still a super nice weather for a european winter. Santa Cruz is another option, bigger city, but also less beautiful. Anyway Santa Cruz and La Laguna are super close.
We're looking for a country in South East Asia that can function as our base, mainly for tax purposes. Meaning it will have to be a place where we can stay for the 183 days required without too much hassle.
We've been looking at Thailand, but have heard that it's very hard to do visa runs etc., so what other can you recommend? Indonesia looked like a good option, but the income rate is a flat 20% and very high for the region.
I'm thinking about taking a sailing (yachting) course in the Mediterranean Sea this coming September or October. Thus far from my research, it seems that most courses are held in locations with not many digital nomads. My thinking is that it would be more fun to go to a place with like-minded people. Therefore, I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in taking a sailing course in the Mediterranean this fall? If not, do you know a location that offers good sailing courses, where there is also many digital nomads / nomad infrastructure?
I will be traveling/working through Mexico with my dog February to April. My plan is to stay in Sayulita for about 2-4 weeks, then travel south along the cost.
Is there anyone who wants to share an airbnb apartment? I was thinking of renting a private villa, but because these are large and have multiple rooms, I was wondering if there are fellow nomads wanting to share? Iโm open to other locations as well (Puerto Vallerta, Oaxaca, and everything in between these two locations.
Iโm a big believer in co-living but Iโm finding hard to find all the options available in different cities.
I have found the major players like Roam, The Collective, and WeLive but havenโt found many others.
Has anyone seen a list or should I start making one?
Hello everyone,
I will come to live in Colombia for one year.
What is the best solution with the Visa?
I thought to have a Visa for tourists for 3 months and renewal the visa for 6 months. Is that hard to renewal a tourist Visa in Colombia?
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Julien
Hey guys, this was my first year as a Canadian nomad.
As far as I know of, Canadians donโt pay taxes if they do not live in the country for 6 months.
But Iโd like to talk to an accountant or someone who does Canadian taxes specifically for expats and nomads to get clear on the rules and for help on my return coming up.
Does anyone know someone who specializes in Canada who can help? Iโve seen plenty of US recommendations but none for us canucks.
Thanks guys!
Any long terms Project Fi users cancelled?
Planning on being outside of the US for a year or more and disappointed to just discover their โtermination for excessive international roamingโ fine print (similar to T-Mobileโs) as follows:

Hey there!
Iโm planning on spending 3 months in Australia next year on a tourist visa. Iโve already gotten my working holiday visa (in 2017), but unfortunately didnโt get to take advantage of the full year (only stayed 3 months).
My boyfriend will be able to get his working holiday visa before we go, so Iโm wondering if anyone knows of a way that I might be able to extend my stay (6 months would be ideal, if longer I wouldnโt complain).
Iโd like to do this legally of course, so Iโm wondering about a student visa. Anyone have experience getting this to extend their stay?
And other workarounds that might be worth exploring?
Might also be worth noting โ Iโll be working while Iโm there (for a US-based company) and I am American.
Appreciate the help!

On New Yearโs Day this year, I was refused entry to the UK due to not having proof of funds, an outward-bound plane ticket (I was road-tripping out with a friend via car) and not being able to prove that I had indeed canceled the lease on the apartment I had leased during a prior recent trip.
I havenโt had any entry issues to any of the several countries Iโve visited after, but now Iโm applying for a 462 visa (work and holiday) visa in Australia, and since Australia and the UK share an immigration info system, I want to make sure getting refused entry wonโt keep me from getting a visa. None of the issues that cropped up in the UK (the proof of funds, the plane ticket, and the apartment) will be an issue in Australia, as Iโve never traveled there before, donโt know anyone and will have proof of more than sufficient funds for the trip and an outbound plane ticket.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to make the approval process go as smoothly as possible?
Many thanks in advance! 
Iโm looking to spend 1-3 months in Alicante or Valencia this fall and would like to take a Spanish class there.
Hi,
My name is Nick,currently living in Australia and looking at moving to Shikoku next year to live for a couple of years.My wife is Japanese,but I dont speak much though I have lived in Tokyo for some years previously.
Any advice on best areas to look at would be greatly appreciated ,
Thanks in advance

We just finished our first stint around South East Asia and somehow survived 3 days of way too many flights, leaving me to feel like death.
Too much shitty airplane food, not enough sleep, big time difference from Mexico to SEA.
Anyone have tips to prevent that more in the future (aside from better flight plans)? More importantly, how do I recover faster from this horror?
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
The ideal bank will have an easy on-boarding as a European student studying and living in Sweden for a year and is merciful when it comes to sending GBP into the account.
Can anybody recommend a good Swedish bank?

Hi everyone!
Currently looking at ridding myself of the 9-5 and becoming a freelance consultant. Iโm not planning to go full erm, โtax optimisationโ, as I believe in taxes as a concept, but I would like to pay less of them so I can get my business off the ground with more peace of mind.
Iโve decided I want to apply for the Portugal NHR (Iโm a EU citizen), but I donโt want to incorporate there. Anyone here has experience with being a Portugal tax resident and running a company elsewhere? If yes, where and why did you choose that country/place? Is it a a lot of hassle?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
Has anyone visited Sihanoukville recently? I would like to visit and give it a try for working but I am a little unsure about the following:
In anyone can offer any info, suggestions on specific areas or recommended accommodation that would be great. I visited around 8 years ago so I am assuming the place has changed quite a bit since then.
Thanks!
