Any recommendations on cities/islands in Greece for the month of November? Looking for a place that is not cold, with good food, good internet, nice outdoors, and not in complete isolation.
Iโve been here just over a month and have only had to slip a cardie on my arms a couple of times. Itโs definitely getting a little cooler at night, but I lot of people I know on the islands say they actually prefer November - itโs still warm and sunny most days, but the majority of tourists have left so they can enjoy the islands without the crowds (I avoided going into Rhodes Old Town during the busy days when cruise ships come in - itโs hell!).
Iโve been chatting to taverna owners to get an idea of what will be open over the winter. Some close at the end of October until April, others end of November until Feb, and some are open all year around. There are a lot of people living here and they still want to do stuff over the winter. Itโs wonโt be as busy as now but youโll still have a choice of places to eat out and bars, etc. A lot of the tourist shops and restaurants in the Old Town will close, but the new town will be mostly open, I think.
Hey! Iโm currently living in Rhodes and Iโm going to be here over the winter. For me itโs a good option as I used to work on a really tiny island off here and I have friends in the area, one of whom managed to secure me a newly refurbished 2-bed house with outdoor space in Rhodes Town, all bills included for โฌ380. Wifi is 6, but I have streamed TV and made video calls without any problems. Yes, itโs getting cooler in the evenings, but I have heating should I need it. But there are still really sunny days - Rhodes famously boasts over 300 days of sunshine per year. And while a lot of the tourist stuff closes down, people still live here and a lot of people from the smaller islands move back here over the winter, so thereโs plenty going on - you just need to look a little harder. Having said that, Iโm not a party person, so not everybody might agree 
300 days of sunshine sounds prettttty nice! And wow, that sounds like a great housing deal. Do you feel as though business and restaurants will close down soon? Or is there a pretty big local presence
Greece will be cold in November (yes, even in the islands). Most islands will be dead and many shops, restaurants, etc will be closed for the winter season. Itโs already getting quite chilly here at night in Athens at the moment. I canโt imagine being here in November.
Nahh, everything was definitely open. Itโs still a fun time. Just not the party island that itโs known to be. I stayed in Ornos, which was really quiet but also super close to the main jaunt. I loved it. I also really liked Elia beach. Sadly I didnโt get to do to much exploring as I was working at the time, but still, the island itself is beautiful.
I was just in Mykonos this past week. Itโs offseason, but itโll have decent to great weather, great seafood, and amazing views. Iโd recommend renting an ATV for getting around if you go! I got mine for $20/day.
My airbnb and every coffee shop around me had trash internet. The Shisha Bar and attached restaurant had incredible internet thoughโฆ I ended up doing a bunch of file transfers and video calls there.
Awesome, thanks for the response? Did you get the feeling that restaurants and businesses shut down as the off season progresses? ATV sounds like a sweet mode of transportation! Any part of the island youโd recommend?
Hi guys ! hope you are doing well.
I would love to get your feedback regarding the best insurance for digital nomads. i'm traveling around Asia since 1 year and for next 4 or 5 years. Would love to buy an insurance to cover especially :
- health
- laptop, phone ...
- Flights
Hello, we are US citizens that have been able to stay in Italy past our standard visa stay due to covid. Now we must leave. We want to drive to Croatia as our โout of EUโ stay. But Iโm now wondering what considerations I need to take care of for my visa. I wonโt go through an airport and get my passport stamped. But I assume I need to get my passport stamped as a way to prove Iโm out of the EU.
Anyone else travel in and out of Schengen zone via car? Or know what I should do to properly handle the visa situation? I get unclear answers online. Hmm.
Appreciate your help!
tl;dr: introduce yourself in this thread.
We must all get sick of the same backpacker travel questions when we meet new friends, I know I do.
You know the ones - where are you from, whereโve you been, where are you going, what do you do, how long have you been doing it - etc.
The novelty of answering these questions wears off after maybe a week, but theyโre nonetheless insightful and no matter how much we hate them, we find ourselves asking others.
So letโs bring the dreaded backpacker questionnaire to NomadForum and introduce ourselves shall we?

No need to answer them all if you donโt want to 
But the more you shareโฆ The merrier!
Hello,
We are in Umbria until August 31. We've been here since March, but crisis-level visa extensions are over. After that we have to leave the EU. We would like to stay out of the USA (our home) due to it's covid crisis, at the same time we want to be responsible about travel. Ideally we would not travel at all, rather stay hidden in the countryside of Umbria forever until covid is more under control globally, but here we are!
So we must leave the Schengen zone. We should avoid USA. We should avoid long air travel.
We were thinking Croatia.
Do you recommend a route to Croatia? We are open to long train rides. Ideally not long ferry rides. Is there a ferry route under 4 hours? I read about it...I don't see it. If not, the other option is to make our way north and up over to Croatia via train.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and insights!
Thanks.
Iโm looking for any recommendations for services or people others have used to get answers on the best place to set up their businesses based on their personal circumstances.
Leaning towards Singapore after a ton of research, but would really like some concrete advice before jumping in.
Appreciate it!
Iโm curious whether anyone drove to Mexico instead of flying and used their car down there. Iโve heard bad stories of people driving down there but not sure I believe them. How safe is it to drive through rural areas, and to park in cities? It would be cool to have the car to explore while there.
Iโm curious to know how many people learned some Thai before going there. Learning languages is a hobby of mine but Iโm very put off by how complex the writing system is, and if I decide not to learn it Iโll probably cross Chiang Mai off my bucket list. I prefer to be at least conversational in a language before I do an extended stay in a country. Iโm curious how people who learned no Thai did getting by. And Iโm curious, from people who did learn some, if itโs any easier than it seems? Thanks!
Eager to find out what age most start out as a DN? (Me)โฆ 27 and just started out in the last 6 months or so. Not presently 100% location independent, probably more like 90% as still required to visit the office from time to time
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.
We are hoping to travel later this year and we will be working remotely - how do you ensure you get good WiFi in places such as in India where the signal isn't always great? Do you have any tips on where to go/ what equipment you have to get?
I have been doing Southeast Asia during June to November for 11 years. Rainy, Typhoons - is wild - still warm but ya - getting older so not as into that. Where can go is warm and dry - not super hot like Vegas but warm and has to be DRY. Good Internet and affordable. Ty
We are leaving for Greece in 60 days and need good wifi for the 3 months we plan on staying there, this is a must! Iโve heard mixed reviews and the 8-10 ranking on nomadlist are not super encouraging. Has anyone recently worked from there? What should we expect? We plan on renting an apartment after staying in airbnb and would like to work from the place we are staying in. Thanks so much for helping me decide if we can continue on or change plans.
Has anyone done remote work from Lefkada or Kefalonia in Greece? Heard internet is good on Lefkada, thinking of spending some weeks of September there. Also looking for coliving/coworking peepz to get a house with, posted a tread in the coliving section, check it out in interested 
Hi all -
Iโve recently connected with an interesting community group called the Meraki people, based in a village in the Peloponnese of Greece, only 2 hours from Athens and its airport, and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kalamata and its airportโฆfull of cultural gems, great beaches and wild mountainous landscapes. They are trying to bring new life and economy to their villages, in a self-sustaining, technologically-innovative, and environmentally-positive way. And theyโre interested in hosting digital nomads in a community experience where you could work on your own projects and/or volunteer to help the local communities, depending on your interests and availability. They have received some significant international recognition already.
Iโm trying to work out details around a potential gathering approx mid-Nov to mid-Dec. but also want to gauge interest before getting too far. Cost of lodging should be reasonable/ off-season โ apts or private rooms with heat and hot water, and there would be a co-working space + potential community kitchen. @alldreamedup and @munly_leong expressed interested in Greece this fall - have either of you made plans? Also, @srajan821 and @bradonomics - the Meraki people are trying to do something similar to an eco-village, so wanted to give you a shout too.
Hope to hear from some nomads interested this fall (or in the future). Thanks!

Hi,
Iโm ready to start traveling again (looking at May through August, about). I have a little more money to spend and would like an island experience in Southern Europe. Iโm a little older and looking for a little more comfort these days. I would plan to rent a 1 bedroom apartment if possible. Places that come to mind are Formentera or Santorini. Iโd like to stay for 2 or 3 months. Does anyone have any experiences to share with these two locales. One concern I have about Greece is safety given the economic crisis. Any insight into there would be appreciated.
Thanks
Iโm still trying to decide where to go between October and Christmas this year. Too many criteria to handle and at this point no absolute priority is emergingโฆ first world problems. So I turned the โproblemโ around, instead of thinking selfishly โwhat can this or that place do for me?โ I am now thinking โwhat can I do for this or that placeโ? And soโฆ Greece. I visited Athens & the Peloponnese on holidays last year and found some beautiful spots where I could definitely spend a couple of months, and am now thinking: what if thereโs a few of us who rent a big house with Internet (preferably by the sea, that priority is pretty much always top of the list for me though Iโm flexible) and turn โselfish nomadismโ into โsupportive nomadismโ? I only have a contact in Nafplio for housing, so if you are interested in helping create this and have ideas/suggestions/contacts let me know in a comment! There may be a few practical difficulties, with the current cash shortageโฆ I havenโt studied this in details but hereโs a thought, anyway!
Hello!
Iโm after advice on a good (read: warm) nomad base for November & December. I wanted to head to the Canaries, but I think Iโve left it late to look because there isnโt much left in the way of accommodation in my price range on Airbnb. I know there are a lot of nomads around there, especially Tenerife & Gran Canaria, and wondered whether anybody could suggest other accommodation options/websites to look at?
Failing that, whatโs another good nomad spot in Europe for this time of year? Iโm chasing the sunshineโฆ
Thanks all 
Quite happy to announce that the next Coworking Camp will be in Tunisia from November 2nd till December 13th.
If you havenโt heard or read about Coworking Camp before, itโs a temporary coworking space in a beach resort to escape the European winter. Lotโs of information including some videos from last year and links to various newspaper and blog articles is on our homepage at http://coworking.camp
The final hotel has not been decided yet, but I wanted to make sure everyone is aware early enough (as last year a lot of people told me they learned about it too late to join), plus we have a 35% super early bird discount on the tickets for the next few weeks. (code โiaminโ). There are also some volunteer spots left for free tickets in case you want to help organizing the event.
The general idea is to bring a group of about 60 like minded startup founders, digital nomads and freelancers together in a productive environment to make new connections, share experiences and have fun in the winter sun.
I am currently in Tunisia (only for a few more days), but will be in Chiang Mai soon, so please message me if you want to meet in person to learn more about Coworking Camp. Or just have a coffee.
