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!
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.
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?
Hello World!
I'm an experienced Digital Nomad and after being in Lockdown in Bangkok and Germany for one year I would like to team up with someone to visit a new place. Or just doing some exchange about what destinations would be interesting currently.
I take the virus seriously and still I think we can still be able to take our life in our own hands. So I'm aiming for cities/countries which are not in full lockdown, are not too complicated about immigration (I'm looking at you Thailand, your state quarantine costs like 1k USD and is basically a prison) and is also rather safe regarding the virus. I tend to stick for rather big cities and like culture. I'm not a beach or nature person. I'm pretty flexible about the money topic.
After being told it's unworkable in Puerto Escondido, looking for alternatives :)
Hi, we are trying to find a house to rent for 2-3 persons near Las Palmas for 4-5 months at the moment and it seems to be almost impossible except through Airbnb which is super expensive. Any advises or local contacts?
I am planning to travel to Mexico City next weekend and stay for 7-10 days there. I wonder if cafes, stores and other places like these work? And if cafes work, do they work as usual or only for take away&delivery? Will be very thankful if someone can help here.
Hi, I've got a question to anyone who had experience with the digital nomad lifestyle. I'm 24, I'm in my last year of university doing computer science, got 3 years of experience mostly doing web development.
I never liked the idea of staying in one place, getting a job and growing roots - hence the will to take the opportunity and travel the world. My main question is โ how do I go about it? Are there any useful resources I could look into?
How do I go about insurance and such once I decide to move. I currently live in Switzerland and do freelance work for one company. It's not a lot, since my studies don't allow me to pick up a full time job, but it allows me to cover simple expenses.
I'd be happy to get some insight into how things work and also happy to network with anyone interested.
Hello Everyone,
On January 8, I set off on my Nomadic Journeys. I have a one way ticket to Iceland booked for a film shoot, and a flight into mainland Europe on the 20th, and from there I have no idea, and I am completely on my own.
What advice do you have? Right now I am feeling everything, from bad to good about it all, really can feel that safety/wool from underneath me get pulled away, I know Iโm jumping out of my shell here.
(To give some background, Iโm starting my nomad journey after having started a successful business, so financially I am set. Itโs the question personally, mentally how do you cope in the beginning of leaving everything and going?)
I am curious if anyone here is traveling while also working on their electronic music productions. I know there are a few โrealโ musicians here (respek!), but I am even more interested in finding my digital brethren.
If youโre out there, how do you manage to do it? Granted, it has become a lot more feasible in the past 5 years or so, but not entirely problem-free.
Do you have a more comprehensive set up at your home base that complements your mobile studio or are you 100% mobile? Do you have a MIDI controller in your backpack/suitcase at all times? What about the monitors? While weโre on the topic, would you maybe care to share your setup (DAW, interfaces, controllers, peripherals)?
Hereโs my situation right now: MacBook Pro with Ableton Live, AKG headphones, a simple/tiny m-audio MIDI controller, an Apogee MiC for recording samples & voice. So far, nothing for the digital interface (apart from the built-in one) or monitors.
Today I read an article about hundreds of thousands of Kurds who were misplaced and lost their homes during military siege of Kurdish cities Sur and Diyarbakir by the Turkish Army. Source below:
I was aware for some time now that the Turkish military is using excessive force against its Kurdish minority, especially after the military coup crackdown this summer. This is one of such articles
Now, looking from a broader perspective, do you think we should travel into countries which are going to use the tax money (which we will contribute to) to finance military campaigns with heavy human rights violations and consequences against civilian lives? Isnโt that like crowdfunding war crime campaigns? How do other people observe such cases? This articleโs focal point is Turkey, but I am sure there are many other countries around the world with similar problems.
Iโm a professional psychotherapist who is starting out in this lifestyle and Iโm curious to hear what specific psychological struggles people had to overcome while making the transition to life as a DM. Also, what do you do to stay mentally healthy while traveling to foreign lands. Iโm interested in hearing any insights people may have, especially since I am working on a book on psychological resilience and I canโt think of a more stressful transition than moving from a static to a nomadic lifestyle. If youโre not comfortable putting your experiences on a public forum, feel free to PM me.
Hey everyone - Iโm new here, and this may be a dumb question, but I need some help! As a U.S. citizen, can I fly into Budapest from London without a return ticket?
Iโd like to get into conversations with other agency owners with employees, or even create a mastermind group and share experiences around questions like:
Anyone interested? Thanks!
Originally, I am from the Netherlands. Since january 2016, I have been working remotely all around the world. But even though I havenโt been in the Netherlands this year, I am still paying taxes there. Iโm still registered as a citizen.
I have to unregister in the Netherlands as a citizen. But if I donโt register somewhere else, or have a freelance status or company somewhere else, I would still have to pay 50%+ taxes. This is, of course, not fun at all.
So I decided to move my business elsewhere. Either get freelancer status in another country, or create a business there to send invoices from. Which brings me to my question:
What is the best country tax-wise for a Dutch freelancer?
As of now, I found two solutions:
Wether residency in an other country is required for the Dutch tax authority to not tax your world income, seems to be a grey area. However, if I unregister in Holland and send invoices from a company in a whole other country, it should be fine.
I have little or no experience. People with know-how: would you be so kind to comment on these options?
Are there alternatives I should consider?
I donโt really like to hire an agency. Iโd rather just fly to a country, fill out paperwork, incorporate there and from then on invoice from that company. If itโs too bureaucratic, I wouldnโt mind hiring a local lawyer or accountant to do it for me.
Do you know a country where there is no or a low income tax and this process is relatively easy and suitable for Dutch freelancers?
Hey guys,
Iโm doing a series of nomad interviews to demonstrate how different we all do this nomad thing. Iโve just published one on How Fast Do Nomads Travel? (http://gigigriffis.com/how-fast-do-digital-nomads-travel/) and Iโve got a few coming up on Do Digital Nomads Have Home Bases?, What Are Digital Nomad Work Schedules Like?, How Do Nomads Choose Where to Go Next? Etc.
Iโm looking for people who would be interested in answering some questions and sharing their personal nomadic perspectives. So if thatโs you, let me know.
Also, itโs really important to me to show some diversity, so Iโm particularly interested in interviewing POC and nomads who are from unusual backgrounds (for example: 40+ nomads, retired nomads, nomads with kids, LGBT nomads, etc.).
