For those traveling through South America at this time, what are your thoughts regarding the Zika Virus? Have you heard about anyone who got it?
Iโm planning to go to Medellin and Brazil from March to June and Iโm trying to figure out if I should be worried as these countries seem to be the most affected.
I live in northeastern Brazil and Iโm not worried. From the CDCโs website, 4/5 people infected with Zika show no symptoms, and for those who do, โPeople usually donโt get sick enough to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika.โ Source: http://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/index.html
Hereโs an interesting article about an alternative root cause for microcephaly. Monsanto strikes again?
โZika has traditionally been held to be a relatively benign disease that has never before been associated with birth defects, even in areas where it infects 75% of the population.โ
Iโm going to Argentina and Uruguay in a week and Iโm packing mosquito repellent just in case.
Uruguay is still safe from zika virus and i think Chile too. Now if you travel to Colombia or Brazil your chances of getting the virus increases. Common senseโฆ
The Zika virus is still an issue for non-pregnant people, both men and women however Iโm not entirely worried about it.
There are bunch of virii that can be transmitted by mosquito, itโs a standard problem in tropical areas. Just do the usual prevention and hope for the best. Iโm no more worried about it than I am with Dengue fever.
yes. but if youโre not pregnant itโs not a serious threat. not one to overly stress about or to cause you to avoid an area.
i think that unless youโre pregnant or planning to get pregnant, itโs not a huge worry.
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:
- ๐ Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers
- ๐Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate
- ๐ Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers
Thanks a lot!
What are the best places right now in the Caribbean/LatAM? (Also cheapest flights/accommodation?) Asking from the US.
As part of signing up for this website I was hoping I would come across a list of Visa and/or Residency requirements by country ideally in a table format to assist with decision making. Does anybody recommend any other websites that might present the information in this format (or Google Spreadsheet)?
I love living in walkable areas of town. I can always find them. But now I'm wondering where in the world are the most walkable places? I'm imagining walk streets (no cars), zoning allowing both business and residential, parks or beaches ,etc.
Hi guys,
After the Netherlands, the Bay Area, Colorado and being on the van life for 8 months, I am now in Sedona, AZ with a few other digital nomads. We are sharing a home here and are wondering if there are more like minded people in the area.
We do a bunch of hikes and campouts in the northern of Arizona. If you would like to connect with us, please do so :)

Has anyone figured out a way to get setup with a virtual number and internet connection anywhere you go?
Hi everybody. I live and work in Germany and want to go to Canary Islands for 6 months to work from there. I'm going to keep my current job, just change the "home" in the home office part of things. Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of? I was reading about becoming a residence after 183 days, thus having to pay taxes there plus my employer having to register there. Does anybody know how it works exactly? Thanks a lot!
Winter is coming and Iโm feeling the ache of travelling after being stuck in the same place since the Pandemic started. Wondering if anyone is travelling right now? If so, where are you currently located and how is the situation where you are?
Bali was at the top of my short-list of places to go DM for 1-3 months until I saw it had the โZykaโ tag on Nomad List 
. Iโm not super read-up on the whole state of Zyka, other than occurrences of infection being on a decline (for now), but I am a worrisome enough person about such things that it has got me reconsidering. Though, it still seems to not be stopping the rate of DMs visiting Baliโฆ
Is there cause for large concern here, or I am just being a nut? โฆItโs been known to happen pretty frequently over such things 
Itโs that time of year again, where I see cool swanky new tablet / laptop hybrid things and start wondering if I could actually replace a Macbook Air for shorter / longer travel.
Anyone have any thoughts on Googleโs new Pixel C? Anyone have experience writing code (or for that matter, writing long-form text, like a novel) with either Android or IOS as your main operating system? Would you leave the Macbook at home for a one week trip? A one month trip? Long-term?
I know the softwareโs not quite there yet. I anticipate major issues being the lack of web dev tools for mobile OSes (I write a ton of front-end code!), and flaky alternatives to Sublime. Iโm interested in figuring out if itโs โgood enoughโ. For example, howโs Cloud9 on Android? Any workarounds I should know about?
Anyone living tethered to Tmux / Vim on a Linode (or other VPS) full-time? Iโm not drinking the Vim Koolaid (or well-aged single malt) yet, but might consider it if thereโs a tangible reason for it.
Is the hardware trade-off likely to hurt a lot? $500 - $600 buys quite a lot of laptop, running Intel 4th gen processors + the never-ending clunkiness of trying to make Ubuntu work on Windows hardware. Where should I expect to feel the pain on a Pixel C?
Anyone figuring out a semi-reliable way to multi-task with multiple windows in Android? For example, how painful would it be to run two terminal sessions, a Cloud9 window, and a Rails tutorial window at the same time, switching between them constantly?
Is there a compelling reason to consider an Ipad Air 2 over the Pixel C? Theyโre in the same ballpark, and though Iโve stuck with Android as a phone OS, Iโm very used to working within the Apple ecosystem for work stuff (downloading El Capitan as I type this).
Note: Iโm fairly anti-Windows these days, especially as a dev environment (havenโt used it since XP), so an older Surface isnโt likely to be a good alternative unless the Ubuntu support is rock solid 
Thanks! All feedback appreciated.
