Does anyone ever travel to any Islands like Bermuda, Barbados, Barbuda and St. Kitts & Nevis?
Would love to know this too. I have not found a lot of the West Indies islands here on nomad list
I have been in the Dominican Republic since Nov 2020. It's the second largest island in Caribbean
I'm thinking of going, my application for the 12 month Barbados welcome stamp has been approved, it would be great if anyone around has any recommendations. i'm in Belgrade right now and i'm done with the cold must relocate soon.
Has anyone been to Antigua, Guatemala recently? It is on my list for destinations to stay for a week or so. Wanted to know if anyone has had an experience there recently or could point out a cafe or two to find a decent Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks!
There’s definitely fairly decent internet to be found in Antigua. It can vary from 4Mbps for a home connection to 20Mbps in cafes and coworking spaces. More info here:
The Bagel Barn had probably the best wifi of any cafe in town when I was there in late 2015. Touristy as can be (which, most of Antigua is), but good food and coffee.
Y Tu Piña Tambien is a good spot to work, with decent wifi. Rainbow Cafe was decent as well.
Otherwise, it was pretty hit and miss for me.

What I mean is, for example, since most of the EU has banned Americans, if I live in Guatemala and will be traveling FROM Guatemala to the EU, could I get in? Or does the ban count for all Americans regardless of where they live?

Based on Antigua's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
There is absolutely no reason to stay in Belize City. You're just going to get ripped off by taxis and restaurants (always do the math on your bill). You come to Belize to go to the islands or ruins, not Belize City.

Uber runs here so that makes it easy to get around. It can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be, a decent hostel will run you $15 - $20/night. I cook many of my meals and prefer to splurge at nice restaurants a few nights a week vs eating at cheap places for every meal

Too much traffic, ugly architecture and even the food is very much hit and miss. Oh and housing is not that cheap. People can range from very friendly to very much not caring but on average, they're neither unfriendly nor easy to connect with, even if you speak good Spanish. More than anything, from someone used to the lively vibe in Colombia or Mexico, the place is as lively as a cemetery. No music, not even a peep at night... There's a reaso

For visiting tourists, the best neighborhood to stay in is NOT Bushwick. Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Ft. Green or Brooklyn Heights is preferable. Plenty of good transportation in those areas - subway, buses or Uber. Easy access to beaches in Long Island and New Jersey. There's plenty to do in NYC. Great restaurants, Broadway plays (!), and in the summer you frequently can catch a free concert.

It's a lot more expensive now (2020) than posted. 1-bdr in center is $3,500-$4,000 + $200-$300 for parking + $100-$200 for utilities. Almost impossible to find month-to-month rent, so this is for 1-year lease. Coffee for two + a pastry is easily $20. Dinner for two never less than $50, unless it's fast food (+20% tips are expected) and if you want actually something good it's at least $100 for two. Airbnb is $1
