This island is wonderful ! I was there for a month and I fell in love with Curaçao. Just to rectify : The tap water is incredibly good to drink !! Anywhere you go you can drink tap water, even once I was in Daaibooi Beach which is 30 km away from the main city and I asked the guy at the snack bar to fill my bottle and the water was as nice as downtown !! Amazing !! If you are a bike rider (bicycle), forget it ! You will get killed, there is no shoulder, neither sidewalks. Some roads look

I am part of the LGBTQI+ community and and am based in NL. During my stay I was openly myself and had 0 bad, rude or dangerous encounters. Well the law is behind the in terms of legality, the gay scene is quite big and out there. It's one of the most LGBTQI+ friendliest islands in the Caribbean on many lists. That is why I chose Aruba instead of other islands. I find it odd the ranking towards LBGTIQ+ is hostile.

I have worked remotely from Minca for the last 4 years and can attest that there are a few good spots with a reliable internet connection! The place is a paradise to work from, as the natural beauty of the mountain inspires, relaxes, and connects! I would suggest searching on AirBnB for houses with good WiFi or check the local ex-pat in santa marta page for tips!

As a Dominican that lived over 25 years in Sto Dgo I have to say most of the comments are accurate. HOWEVER, Santo Domingo is the capital of the country. Just like most Capitals in Latin America (Mexico City being the exception), it's not worth visiting much time. If you want to experience what the Dominican Republic has to offer (Beaches, Nature, Friendly Locals) as a nomad I would recommend Las Terrenas or Cabarete.

Although it's as pricey as a US mainland city, the food is good and the coffee is excellent. Locals can vary in friendliness quite a bit -- although being brusque with someone from the US mainland is entirely understandable. Uber works perfectly well. The museums have very inexpensive admissions fees. All in all, a good destination for a shorter (3 weeks or less) trip. But not a place with a digital nomad community or lots of cultural activities.

I guess if you're a nomad this doesn't matter much, but the long-term job pickings here are slim and among the most underpaid for a US city. There seems to be a tacit rent floor that means you won't find a good deal on housing. A lot of people don't seem very invested in their interpersonal relationships here since their ties to the area are often transient.

An awesome city full of gorgeous greenery/flowers (check it out during the flower fest) and beautiful women. People are down to earth and has a big reggaeton scene (some of the big worldwide artists from here). International food has been improving as it solidifies as a foreigner vacation spot. Been coming to medellin for like 7 years mainly for vacations, while weather is good (spring like) i prefer a bit colder myself. Everything is cheap, and colombians in general are friendly and welcoming.

You can disagree, but try to find it.
