Is it too late to become a digital nomad at 40?

 

by @roadwalker 9yr  | 36 comments

Hello, i am a developer from italy currently working in south of france.
I would really like to go nomad as i donโ€™t like my current job and i would like to try new experiences in other countries.
I saved lot of money in the past and i donโ€™t have wife/son.My only fear is linked to my age. Going from 9-18 stable job to earn nothing is a litte bit crazy at this age. If i fail as a nomad(n it could be probably difficult to find another job.
I have good knowledge of java/javascript and i programmed in the past with many other languages. I am also familiar with iOS sdk /android and SEO: i was not able to make good stable incomes from apps and blogs as side projects working some hours during the week.
What do you think about my situation? thanks

I became full-time nomadic when I was in my mid 60โ€™s. Now in my 70โ€™s. I developed my job and had it firmly tucked into my laptop before I started, but age is really immaterial, and as for being in your 40โ€™s โ€“ well, my kids are that old.

You might feel isolated agewise - most digital nomads start of young and then quit after a few years. Most older digital nomads stop as their business gets more successful (my wife and I have already circled the globe a few times, now weโ€™re more likely to find a nice place and do work, rather than socialize or interact much). Iโ€™ve still met quite a few digital nomads in their 40s, but they usually have several businesses and arenโ€™t at the โ€˜basic mindframeโ€™ that newbies would be, so you might not have much to talk about. Plus the pool is smaller, itโ€™ll be harder to find a few you get along with. That said, everyone should build an online business if they can for more freedom and stabilityโ€ฆ good luck with yours!

There are definitely worse ways to celebrate a mid-life crisis. :wink:

Kidding aside, itโ€™s a lifestyle so I donโ€™t believe age has anything to do with it. Is it too late to become a vegetarian at 40? We are in our early-thirties and have met up with my wifeโ€™s great aunt and her husband in South Africa and Thailand. Theyโ€™re in their 70โ€™s and travel 9 months out of the year. Theyโ€™re retired, but it just goes to show that age should not be a factor in deciding to travel.

@roadwalker did you end up taking the plunge? I too started life as a digital nomad in my 40s and have never looked back. I even think after spending so many years in the corporate world, you appreciate the freedom so much more (if you are that way inclined).

I went to the Nomad Summit in Chiang Mai earlier this year and there were 350 other digital nomads there but what surprised me was that the average age looked older than what I thought it was going to be.

Itโ€™s never too late. In fact, itโ€™s more โ€˜crazyโ€™ to do the same old thing year after year, wondering what if. I took the plunge earlier this year at 40 (and get taken for mid 20โ€™s). Iโ€™m now back in the states and will be more of a part time nomad, as I need several specific social/interest/activity circles which donโ€™t exist internationally.

However, you have the skills and the drive, so go for it. It sounds like youโ€™ve saved a good amount of money and donโ€™t have dependents either, like myself.

Itโ€™s too YOUNG if anything! Just remember that most people wait until they retire to see the world! Iโ€™m in my upper 40s and worked remotely abroad in 1993 before digital and started a company in Asia to be able to work internationally on digital media in 2005.

Iโ€™m 42 and also just took the plunge. I procrastinated for many many years and found lots of ways to justify being locked into the same 9-5 (gear buying rampages, new work challenges, just need to save a bit more money, just need to speak perfect German etc etc).

When I finally quit it was the easiest thing and I think I finally earned some respect then too. I had been there for 13 years and I just walked out the door without giving a shit. And I also learned a big lesson, which was that everything I had poured into that job was for nothing, or at least, it was done for me and not for the company.

Iโ€™m freelancing at the moment, and the work came to me through previous contacts. Although Iโ€™m working on the other side of the world, in many ways itโ€™s no different to sitting in that office. But when Iโ€™m brave enough to commit to the next step and set up my own business, I think pouring energy into my work will become a lot more satisfying.

So I wholeheartedly encourage you to let that safe job go and just see what happens. There will always be dev opportunities, but there will also be oodles of spare time to think about what you could really be doing with all your talent and energy. Go!! :smile:

It is funny that Silicon Valley is now ageist. When I arrived there at age 27, the great thing was that everyone believed I could work at or do a startup. Everywhere else, people thought you had to have years of experience and wouldnโ€™t talk to a young person. That is why I moved there.

Now, I see no ageism in the valley if you present as an angel investor :smile:

by @levelsio 3yr 3 years ago  | 3 comments

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:

- ๐Ÿ›‚ Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers

- ๐ŸŽ“Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate

- ๐Ÿ› Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers

Thanks a lot!

Tax advisor for permanent nomads?


by @eljaques 4yr 4 years ago  | 1 comment

I'm in need of a tax advisor who understands "our" typical situation. I'm all good on being legal on taxes at this point, but as I'm doing more investing and there's more compliance and KYC and such, it's getting more complicated to deal with this topic. Not living in my country of citizenship, company in another country, resident in yet another country, banking in a different country ... you know how it is, a pile of red flags.

Would be great to find a good tax advisor to sort things in a way that makes my situation as "explainable" and easily dealt with as possible. Any leads?

How to get into the digital nomad lifestyle?


in Switzerland by @filiptk 4yr 4 years ago  | 1 comment

Hi, I've got a question to anyone who had experience with the digital nomad lifestyle. I'm 24, I'm in my last year of university doing computer science, got 3 years of experience mostly doing web development.

I never liked the idea of staying in one place, getting a job and growing roots - hence the will to take the opportunity and travel the world. My main question is โ€“ how do I go about it? Are there any useful resources I could look into?

How do I go about insurance and such once I decide to move. I currently live in Switzerland and do freelance work for one company. It's not a lot, since my studies don't allow me to pick up a full time job, but it allows me to cover simple expenses.

I'd be happy to get some insight into how things work and also happy to network with anyone interested.

I dream of being a digital nomad? How do I do it?


by @programmingmark 4yr 4 years ago  | 2 comments

Hello digital nomad!

I dream of being an independent digital nomad. But it feels very elusive & unattainable with my success rate. In full disclosure, whilst I have dreamed about making money online since high school; I have not earned a single cent making money online. $0, nada, zilch!! On the contrary, I have spent a lot of time & money on books, podcasts. Even though I have spent a lot of time reading/listening to others, I do not have anything to show for it!

I have made attempts in the past to start an online business, but these fizzle out quite quickly when I do not see traction especially when the goal I have set myself is too high.

Instead of reaching for the ultimate nomadic lifestyle goal, I want to start much smaller. Really small! I am simply looking to make $50 profit per month from a new online business. Thatโ€™s it.

I need some advice from you please!

  • Is $50 profit too low? How long did it take you to earn $50 profit per month?

  • What is a good way of achieving this goal?

Thanks

How do digital nomads pay tax?

Hello everyone! Iโ€™m new here and probably this is a very newbie question, but it doesnโ€™t leave my head.

How do you, nomads, pay your taxes? I mean, if youโ€™re constantly traveling, how are you going to pay taxes for a certain country if you are going to stay there a short period of time?
Or do you return to your โ€œoriginal countryโ€ and then pay them?

Hey everyone,

Iโ€™m a freelance + nomad newbie, off for my 1st proper trip in May. Iโ€™m wanting to spend a month somewhere and go from there.

Iโ€™m been swaying towards Porto, but have been impressed by the rave reviews Iโ€™ve seen for Valencia.

But Iโ€™d 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? Iโ€™ve seen plenty of US recommendations but none for us canucks.

Thanks guys!

Best place for Digital Nomad in Latin America?


by @rose_davis 4yr 4 years ago  | 7 comments

Hi!

I am planning to move to Latin America for 3-4 months (Oct-January). Iโ€™ve narrowed down 6 different places that I want to visit before committing to settling down, but Iโ€™d love to get some community input.

Here are the cities Iโ€™m considering:

  • Quito, Ecuador
  • Cuenca, Ecuador
  • Medellin, Columbia
  • Cartagena, Columbia
  • Antigua, Guatemala
  • San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala

The most important things Iโ€™m looking for:

  • Fast/easily accessible internet
  • Easy to meet other nomads/make friends in general
  • Safe for women
  • Some sort of spiritual community (Iโ€™m also a yoga teacher)
  • Easily walkable city

Anyone have any experience with these places and can give some insight? Iโ€™m also completely open to other recommendations.

Thanks!
Rose
