I recently purchased a second monitor to connect to my MacBook Pro 15". I use the Nextstand laptop stand to get my MacBook to eye level. Iโm wondering what second monitor (without base) users are using to get their second monitor at the same level. I know of this company Elevate Stand (.com), but it seems a bit heavy and bulky (although I guess it must be somewhat, if it is to hold a monitor).
I use whatever is at hand (usually a pile of books/magazines will do), but Iโm open to more aesthetically pleasing alternatives.
I solved it with my existing stuff. The Asus rests nicely on the Nexstand. I use the Asus case, and my 10 keyless keyboard sleeve to prop my MacBook up. I use my two JBL Go speakers to prop up the stand. Itโs a good setup!
Hope this helps someone.
hello 
Iโm planning my next trip (from January/February), and Iโm looking for a place where itโs hot, with the sea, and good wifi.
At the moment I live in Paris and work with San Francisco times, so preferably I wouldnโt go to Asia.
Iโm thinking, South Africa or South America, what do you recommend?
Thank you
I have been a digital nomad for the last couple of years. I have always worked in tech and now run a couple of profitable online businesses that give me a reliable income and allow me to fund a nomadic lifestyle.
I recently exited one of my businesses and I am considering to invest the income from the sale in properties, mainly for 2 reasons:
a) I donโt want to keep wasting my money in renting apartments across the cities I stay
b) I believe in properties as investment and I want to diversify my investment portfolio (mainly stocks)
After years of constant wander from one place to another, now I am the type of digital nomad who sticks to few locations: I mainly rotate across 4 places each year (San Francisco, Medellin, Berlin, Bali). Buying a house in each of those location would be difficult and too expensive. Therefore, I was wondering if there was any sort of service that combines an investment opportunity with the ability to access different properties around the world (even if just for a limited time per year) ?
Imagine living in 4 cities per year and having a house in each place that you can exclusively use for 3 months and at the same time having your investment growing (this depending on the market, of course). Wouldnโt that be great? I believe it could be done via a property fund selling you a share and giving you access to some of their properties for a limited timeframe each year.
Has anyone heard of anything like that?
Thanks!
Hello All,
We are a nomad family starting our journey in Medellin. India / Mumbai to be specific is our next destination.
I am finding it very difficult to find properties in AirBnB within a reasonable budget and makaan and magicbricks is cumbersome.
Anyone has had any experience on best approach to find where to stay?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Iโm in the middle of doing some research for our next destination within Europe and Iโm hoping to get some suggestions from some outdoor enthusiasts whoโve spent time on the continent.
My favorite cities are Innsbruck, Austria and Bergen, Norway because you can be downtown having a beer one minute and thenโฆ boomโฆ up the mountain in the middle of nowhere 15 minutes later. Iโm looking for a similar place to spend a month or two this winter. Places like these are hard to find because โmid-size european cities with great hiking nearbyโ doesnโt return too many relevant results on Google. Great adventure towns are usually in the middle of nowhere, the kind of places youโll need to rent a car to get to the grocery store, and places with good public transportation are usually concrete jungles. But places like Innsbruck and Bergen manage to combine the best of both worlds.
Has anyone come across similar places theyโd recommend?
Has anybody ever encountered a travel gear manufacturer that makes gear that is solid and durable, but that is intentionally designed to look old and crappy? For international travel, I want good, durable gear, but Iโm uncomfortable walking around with slick, brand-new-looking, expensive-looking gear (especially with my family in tow). Iโm happy to snatch up any good used gear (reduce, reuse, recycle) that weโre lucky enough to encounter, but selection is limited, and durability is often compromised. Seems like thereโd be a decent market for some durable but ragged-looking travel gear. What i have in mind is luggage, backpacks, laptop cases, smartphone cases, camera bags, infant/toddler carriers, etc. Iโm sensitive to the preppy fad of clueless, well-off westerners dressing up like the poor in naive but trendy mockery, but thatโs not what Iโm after, here. I just want good gear that doesnโt put a target on my back as we traipse around various parts of the world. Anybody have any thoughts on thisโฆ?
Hi guys, as I wrote in the title I am planning to move to Barcelona with my girlfriend starting from January 2017 and I am looking to rent a flat for 6 months, possibly in the Born area, but open also to other neighborhoods. My budget is around โฌ800 per month. Is anyone looking to rent out something that could fit my request? Any help would be appreciated!
Think American Blue Apron, or Moscow-based Elementaree for that matter. Iโm not a big fan of food-shopping or market-haggling, you know. Yet Iโm OK with cooking myself 
Such services would definitely make a stay easier.
Hi all,
For Jan through March Iโm looking for a place that as a) friendly people, b) warm climate, c) surfing, and d) reliable internet (either in cafes or a coworking space).
So far, this is my short list:
If anyone has some good info on this, please share! : )
We spend a ton of time in the tropics and are craving a little bit of winter. There was a thread about ski towns: What are good ski towns for digital nomads? but Iโm actually wondering about non-ski towns.
Anywhere on the planet is of interest from Bulgaria to New Zealand, from Harbin to Matroosbergโฆ i donโt really care where on the planet it is, just that itโs not to hard to get to/from.
Hi,
I have a property in the UK that collects rental money to a UK account. I moved recently to Fiji and have residency in Fiji now. I wonder if I need to pay taxes on the property in the UK or if there is a structure I can set up that avoids the tax legally? or does anybody now who to go to for advice?
My girlfriend and I are Canadian residents that make a full-time income online, though affiliate commissions and ad revenue. As of right now, we have bank accounts in the US and most income is earned in USD.
The thing is that our income taxes are quickly rising to the point that itโs absurd and would be well worth the time and money spent to reduce them somehow.
Can anyone comment on our options here?
Weโve considered moving around and not staying in any one country long enough to owe taxes anywhere, but that seems very difficult as a Canadian resident:
Reading up on the stipulations for being a โresident for tax purposesโ in Canada, they basically want you to sell all of your belongings and cut ties with your family in order to not be a taxed resident. Is this true?
Another option weโre interested in is incorporating in an offshore country that has low or zero corporation taxes. Does anyone have any suggestions here?
Iโve been looking into setting up a Canadian corporation, but the corporation tax is still upwards of 15%, plus youโre taxed on what you take out of the corporation.
If anyone here has knowledge about any of this Iโd love to hear your advice.
I want to buy a new backpack and get it shipped from the US. Iโm currently in Ubud and generally in Southeast Asia for the next few months. Whatโs the most reliable place to get a product shipped to?
I know Hubud will let you receive packages but Iโm a little too nervous about customs grabbing it or it taking forever and arriving after Iโm gone (here for 1 month). The shipping cost to me is free and Iโm happy to pay a reasonable fee to customs or whatever to get it reliably delivered. Any specific tips for Bali? Anybody successfully done this?
Places like Singapore and Hong Kong are a bit later in the schedule, wondering if those are generally more reliable places for this kind of thing and worth it to just wait until then.
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Iโm going to be traveling through and working in many countries in Europe this year and Iโm hoping to either use my T-Mobile iPhone 6 (should work based on my research) or I can buy a hotspot to tether internet. This way I can work anywhere and not have to be asking for wifi passwords etc all the time. Does anyone know a good carrier/plan/hotspot? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also: Iโm always looking for great designers and developers to work with. Contact me if youโre interested. I have plenty of work for you
Hi Guys, we are looking for our final candidates for a co-work/adventure trip through several Islands in Thailand - mid/late February. Come join us?!?
Looking for recommendations on accommodation for a 2-3month stay in Perth Australia any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!
Hi,
any tips, suggestions? Itโs for Jan-2015 through March-2015.
Iโm ideally looking for a nomad house-style type of setup, in which 4 or more digital nomads all live together in a nice, modern villa. But Iโm not sure if there are too many of those around in Canggu.
Otherwise a private room+bathroom or private apt. for around $600-800 will be fine (depending on the speed of the Internet).
Any help or tips are more than welcome : )
Hey Nomads!
So Nomad House: Project Austin is coming together. We found a better house with a better location and living arrangement, and we are just looking for one more digital nomad to join our little experiment from Feb. 1st- Mar. 1st.
Living options:
$900: Private Room
$700: Shared room
The house is at S. Park Dr. and Powell Court in Austin Texas.
To give you an idea of the awesome people youโd be living with, the residence so far are:
@tikhon - Hailing from San Fran (for now!), seasoned developer, specializing in dev/ops, sysadmin and the non-tech side of the startup world such as Fundraising/recruiting/sales. You may be be familiar with the 2 successful start-ups that he co-founded - Scribd + Parse. Avid rock climber, photographer and looking to make another awesome project this time free from VCโs overlord control! Rockin!
@maxholzheu - Hailing from Guatemala, alum of Build Campus in SF. Committed to paving a courageous path to freedom using technology. His life philosophies are *stop planning, start moving *never stop learning. Currently kicking ass as a web developer for Junto Studio, with remote work privileges.
Grayson - Has yet to fork over the $15 to join the #nomad group. But luckily heโs a good friend of mine. We met working at a company is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia called Mindvalley (you may have heard of it). When heโs not helping artist promote themselves with his startup Mumora, heโs either eating street cooked grub in a hole in the wall in South East Asia, blogging about marketing or just being a tall shaggy good dude!
Me - Iโm Brandon, you can check out some of the crazy stuff Iโve done in the past: like the time I biked from German to India, or the time I became a Thai commerical star! Life is random, I know! Currently working for a startup called Bucketfeet, that makes cool sneakers using designs submitted by artists from all over the world! I convinced them to let me move to Austin and work remote, so let the adventures begin. I also like salsa dancing, personal development books, maps and anything with 2 wheels!
You - Canโt wait to see who are 5th nomad will be!
If you want to be apart of something great, sign up below and letโs build a world free of year leases, boring roommates and coffeeshop refugees.

My girlfriend and I are Canadian nomads looking to spend 6 months (ideally) in the US this winter. Weโre trying to figure out the best place to do so! The goal is to live somewhere nice and build up more savings and income.
Since weโre in Montreal and sick of the brutal winters, we want somewhere warm. And since weโre nomading, weโre looking to stay as cheap as possible, but also comfortable. Weโd like to do a short-term (furnished) rental as opposed to a hotel or room rental since weโre a couple.
We also want to live somewhere nice enough, not in a dangerous area or anything like that. We like parks, shopping, farmerโs markets, etc. Not too big on night life.
Ideally, weโd like somewhere in California, but Iโm not sure how realistic that is for our budget ($1500/month rent at the max).
As of now weโve also looked at Las Vegas, which seems on the more affordable end of the spectrum. Austin was also on our radar, but again, not sure how realistic that is for our budget.
The biggest problem we have is actually finding available rentals online! We need something furnished! Doing anything through Craigslist online is out, and I know most people will suggest AirBNB, but it seems rather inflated in price. Other than that, there seems to be only private websites that are just as difficult (or untrustworthy looking) as Craigslist.
Can anyone point us in the right direction? Where would you guys suggest in our situation? Anyone from Vegas/California/Austin that could point us in the right direction for furnished short-term housing?
This seems like a really great community! I hope someone out there can help us out! 
Im landing in Seattle to find a place to stay for 4 months in june :). Iโm a photographer and designer studying a UX 10 week course in General Assembly.
Anyone have a place they can offer? Any tips to help with the search?
Thanks! 
You can check out my photos here if your interested http://arturo.photos
The house my wife and I are leaving on Vashon Island (a 20 minute ferry ride from Seattle) is available for a 3 month lease starting at the end of February. Itโs a pretty great place just up the hill from a beautiful Puget Sound beach and lighthouse. Hereโs the ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/apa/4850406461.html
Here are better photos with our actual furniture in it: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/teamgenser/sets/72157650335823075/
We are happy to arrange to leave some furniture for a short term renter, too.
