hm… interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard other people say similar things, but that just doesn’t seem to be the case for me (at least not yet).

milton 20d

Looking for places with great scuba diving and solid WiFi. Any recommendations?

causalomao 20d

Hey everyone, I have a question. In the "Fastest Growing Places" tab, what does "growth" necessarily mean? What does relate to?

causalomao 20d

Cost of living is related, but I think it would depend on the job.

bobbyk0312 18d

Similar question: what does the attribute with your mx mean? I've never been to some of the highest ranking places with my attribute

saschaargiro 18d

I am looking for a location with great weather, coworking facilty, and fitness and healthy food. Basically, I would like to travel to a place where I can maintain my healthy routine away from my permanent base. Did anyone else struggle with this? Any suggestions?

minonomad 18d

Same struggle, found my place in Hoi An Vietnam. Just loving it here!! If you want more city vibes check out Da Nang Vietnam 🇻🇳

kimberlyibidapo 17d

Hi all, hope everyone is keeping well & safe! I’m looking for a location to be in for the months of June & July to nomad in. I am considering Mexico City, but I heard it is rainy season (as is most of SEA Asia). I live in Berlin, so somewhere other than Europe would be wonderful if possible.

kimberlyibidapo 17d

Thank you kindly! 😇

bohdandrozdov 17d

what are you looking for?

kimberlyibidapo 17d

Somewhere walkable if possible, not super warm, close to nature if feasible, able to meet and socialize with people. I’m not super picky hehe! Not really big on partying or drinking :)

kateshar 17d

Have you considered Cape Town? Meets your request but not cheap.

kimberlyibidapo 17d

I already have done one month in Cape Town and absolutely loved it. It will also be rainy season during the time I’m traveling in CPT 😭 It seems that the weather is not on my side in many locations :(

kateshar 17d

Yes, wether is getting into winter. I just left CP for Thailand 🙂

alexkryu4kov 17d

I could suggest Georgia (Tbilisi), but most of the nature there is the mountains

Bali could also be a great and simple option

limextapa 17d

Agree, most are expensive. And even DomRep is just mediocre compared to so many other Asian options.

kimberlyibidapo 16d

Yes, but will be there June & July 😇

kimberlyibidapo 16d

Thank you! I’ve only heard amazing things about Georgia. I wasn’t a fan of Bali actually, which was a shame!

atticus 16d

I have been hearing not super great things from friends that just got back from bali... what is going on

kateshar 15d

Not a good place anymore. I would not go back. I loved it and been several times but tourists ruined it. Going to Lombok this time. Friend promoting it as “Bali before it got ruined by over tourism “

alexkryu4kov 14d

Still amazing, you just need to spend more time choosing the specific area nowadays :)

davorb 13d

Food and wine there is chefs kiss

causalomao 12d

Normally, the xn symbol is the person's or company's name. This is my Telegram username, or are you referring to something else? An attribute?

jacobp 9d

Hey guys I’ve no idea if this is the right place to discuss this, but I’m recently getting involved with digital nomad stuff and my first real time trying it out will be in July. I’m taking my girlfriend and I honestly can’t plan for my life. I want her to enjoy it as well which is adding more complications.

Anyone have any tips on picking somewhere? Good guides people recommend?

I’m currently finding it difficult to get the price point correct as apparently lots of the figures on the list are incorrect

leonox 9d

good starting point would be bangkok

leonox 9d

thailand is the place to go if you are just starting out

jacobp 9d

Nice, will investigate further :), thank you

minonomad 9d

I would recommend to start in Vietnam instead. Da Nang, Hoi An is amazing. But you need to check for the climate. Different places work better at different times of the year due to climate

susanfong 9d

Hello everyone, Apa khabar? I'm Susan, a remote worker, a local Malaysian, who loves mixing work, travel, culture, and real conversations with real people.

From 9 to 18 May 2026, I'm gathering a small group of 6 to 8 remote work professionals for 10 days of coworking and coliving on Penang Island.

We'll be based in a serene seaside villa in Batu Ferringhi. Every room faces the Andaman Sea 🌊 and has a private bathroom. Coworking happens around a big shared table, out on the terrace, or in your own quiet corner when you need to go heads-down.

Outside work hours, we explore. George Town's heritage streets and street art. Temples and clan jetties. The cool air up on Penang Hill. The slow rural pace of Balik Pulau. Evening hawker stalls where the food genuinely does all the talking.

If this sounds like your kind of pace, please message me. Happy to share details or hop on a quick call to see if we're a good fit for each other 🌤️.

ruslanche 8d

You know, even though I'm a biggest fan of Vietnam, I'd recommend starting with Bangkok, it's the base)

minonomad 8d

It’s great that you all love Bangkok but I feel like this place is just so polluted, full of drugs and crazy people 🤣 that’s why I wouldn’t recommend it. Also it’s “just” a city. Da Nang Hoi an has much more to offer in my opinion.

minonomad 8d

But sure there might be many reasons why it’s a better plan to start from that I don’t know about bc I have never lived in Bangkok

danamo 8d

Bangkok is a chose your own adventure place. You don’t need to go to the drug/sleazy places. I was there 6 months on and off and had a pretty chill, decent, healthy life :D

danamo 8d

I would also recommend it for a soft start on the digital nomad path. 👍

danamo 8d

That said, you do need to keep an eye out. The sleazy is often just around the corner.

luskira 8d

Whats the fun in that

minonomad 8d

This is the feeling I had 👀

danamo 8d

:D

kateshar 7d

Agree 100% Very easy first nomad country/city. It has everything and not expensive.

roromaniv 7d

Hello people, I need advice, because I’m getting over my head. I’m struggling with the question of whether to change jobs (as it comes paired with the lifestyle).

Facts:
- I left Ukraine and got temporary protection in Spain. It will end sooner or later
- I have a remote job that allows me to travel, but I don’t have a home or “going back”
- I got an offer from a company in Barcelona that would match my current salary with technical “increase” as Spain has higher tax (with the current job and Ukrainian tax residence I pay just 6%)

So, I’m doubting whether to try to settle in Spain, or to continue as a slow digital nomad for the coming years. On some days I’m swayed one way, and then – another.

I understand the audience here may be biased, but how would you judge such a situation for yourself? How would you decide?

bohdandrozdov 7d

travel and see the world

you can always settle and get residency if you want

telling you as Ukrainian myself

albaalbina 7d

Hey guys! What age would you stop being a nomad? Or you considering to be in this lifestyle gor the rest of your life?

albaalbina 7d

Are they going to help you with documents so you can settle down in Spain?

bohdandrozdov 7d

when I find partner to settle down

albaalbina 7d

but isn't it really hard to find it if you constantly changing locations

bohdandrozdov 7d

yes and no

I have opportunity to explore more different cultures in dating and now I know better what I am looking for in my partner

albaalbina 7d

Find it is just one thing...to build relationship you should stay in one location long time.

bohdandrozdov 7d

yes and I am ready for it with the right person

my end goal is family, I am travelling while I can

with a family I will travel too, just less

albaalbina 7d

and there's the location problem too — you meet someone great but she's based somewhere that doesn't work for you at all. then what?

bohdandrozdov 7d

1) I spend majority of my time in location that works for me and where chance to meet partner higher (I know cultures that I am more attracted to)

2) I don't travel or don't spend a lot of time in locations that doesn't work for me

albaalbina 7d

So you an expat now !

bohdandrozdov 7d

for me expat is the person that moved to one country

I am not, I am travelling between social hubs and nature in between

albaalbina 7d

No , its immigration. Expat is someone who lives between a few chosen countries

bohdandrozdov 7d

no

hoperto 7d

Unfortunately cant stop since 23, now 35. Always thinking - finally, gonna settle at this location. 3-12 months later just wonna change of scenery, or better weather, that sometimes goes into the fully nomadic 1 month per location and ends in another “settle here” phase. This doesnt mess with relationship btw, married since a while now.

albaalbina 7d

So how is your googled description goes against my definition of expat?

albaalbina 7d

Yeah...its the hardest part...changing the lifestyle you got used to.actually doing it after years of moving is a whole different story. it's not just about the person, it's about rewiring your entire lifestyle

bohdandrozdov 7d

where do you see mention of spending times between multiply countries?

expat is person that live in one country that is not home country

albaalbina 7d

Where do you see it says that it's only One country they spend time in during the year?

bohdandrozdov 7d

feel free to have your own definition, I don't care

hoperto 7d

Switching to fixed place is easy when you at the point of wanting it. The problem is the urge to change the surrounding sometime later :D also the bureaucracy(gained and lost 3 residency)… over past 10 years it become much harder to be location independent in terms of access to local services

albaalbina 7d

the decision to stay is the easy part. it's 6 months later when you start itching to move again that it gets real.

kateshar 7d

Not sure what to do with the feeling “ok, I’m done with this location, where to next?” I feel like there is no ideal place in the world where I would feel “I’m staying here forever”. Not sure if I’m running away from something or towards something… So many times there was a feeling “so tired of traveling, will just stay here” Then in 3 months buying a ticket to somewhere else… Maybe nomads stop traveling when something anchors them? No more money, no remote job, health reasons, partner, kids, family, old parents… Do nomads eventually find a community/place where we belong?

albaalbina 7d

The ones I know who stopped did it because 1) they want community 2)kids 3) owned house .

antoined 7d

All those three reasons would be eased / reduced with villages full of nomads (there are projects like this though ?)

and more practical (/ multi cultural) ways to raise kids while travelling : there are parents who found ways to do it, even before digital nomads, but the info isn’t part of a big cultural movement that others can get inspired from. Quick googling I found about “worldschooling” but surely it must be even harder logistically than just being nomad

minonomad 7d

HAHA facts

albaalbina 7d

Nomad Village is not for everyone. I live in one in Colombia right now and yes, its a big community of jungle mommas' who used to be regular nomads before 'here but its a hippie lifestyle that doesn't fit everyone.

hoperto 7d

What’s bad with this feeling? It’s just what it is - likely very natural for our species, at least for some part of us. During 12 years I’ve made a few such communities/places where I belong and going back to, time to time, and it doesn’t really reduce the connection so far. But yeah each such location required about a year or more to be there.

kateshar 7d

I joined a few worldschooling hubs around the world with my daughter before she turned 18. There are a lot of worldschooling hubs in the world. The same as hubs for nomads where family live 1-3 months together organising local trips and educational activities for kids. For a person who does not travel la lot finding nomad hubs and tribes is also not easy straight away but as soon as persons dives in into the lifestyle it is possible to find a lot of them.

davidsolar1 7d

It's really hard to say, everyone is different and has different circumstances. Generally, I would say erly/mid-thirties would be a good time to start settlign down or when you find a partner (or are ready to dinf one), but really depends on everyone's situation

kateshar 7d

What are the locations you go back to? We found a few so far where we easily spend a few months at a time. Cape Town in South Africa, Edinburgh in Scotland, Bansko in Bulgaria (mostly because of worldschooling hub and nomad fest). Bali (UBUD) in Indonesia was on the list but not anymore I guess. Koh Pangan in Thailand (mostly because of fufubulshit as we call it 😂)

hoperto 7d

Been at those places :) (except for Edinburgh). For me the bases are: Bangkok - start of the journey, Santiago-Mendoza-Buenos Aires (about 3 years there and around), Valencia (as the southern Europe base), Moscow (that’s where I grow up).
Cape Town is epic btw! Out of the places I’ve been Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro are the most beautiful cities.

jeniapus 6d

i actually think you should stay

jeniapus 6d

i already stopped .. i currently live in bkk .
i was sick of moving around all the time

lsousa 6d

There is no silver bullet answer. Just analyze pros and cons of of each decision and chose what makes you happier

Just a hint: money is not all the answer for yours “problems”

lsousa 6d

Same here. After 8y moving around I just decided to chill somewhere for a long term
What I am trying to do currently is just swap houses with people and travel here and there
But I am happy to have my routine again

jeniapus 6d

sme

jeniapus 6d

same

kateshar 6d

I asume Barcelona offer is not good for traveling? Just permanent onsite? How long does it take to get permanent residency in Spain? Maybe you can work on new passport while you have the chance if you are not planing to go back.

kateshar 6d

Also maybe a good idea to go to a place where there is a group of nomads already going for a month or so. This way you would land in a place with a lot of other nomads arround for socialising (if it is needed). For example here is some staff that is happening in June:
June
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan (Almaty) w/Matt + Pangea (24 May — June 20)
🇯🇵 Japan (Kyoto) w/WiFi Tribe (29 May — 26 Jun)
🇬🇪 Georgia (Tbilisi) w/WiFi Tribe (29 May — 26 Jun)
🇹🇷 Turkey (Istanbul) w/WiFi Tribe (29 May — 26 Jun)
🇧🇴 Bolivia (La Paz) w/WiFi Tribe (29 May — 26 Jun)
🇮🇳 India (Dharamkot) w/Noma Collective (31 May — 21 Jun)
🇵🇷 Puerto Rico (San Juan) w/Outsite (31 May — 14 Jun)
🇳🇦 Namibia (Windhoek) w/Noma Collective (07 Jun — 05 Jul)
🇧🇷 Brazil (Ouro Preto) w/NomadMania (10 Jun — 14 Jun)
🇵🇷 Puerto Rico (Aguadilla) w/Outsite (14 Jun — 28 Jun)
🇹🇯 Tajikistan / Pamir Highway (9 Day Tour) w/Matt + Pangea (18 Jun — 27 Jun)
🇧🇬 Bulgaria (Bansko) w/Bansko Nomad Fest (20 Jun — 30 Jun)

jacobp 6d

This is incredibly helpful - thank you!

albaalbina 6d

Its crazy how expensive it is... you can get all of it for free if you volunteer

kateshar 6d

Some people love to just join and everything is organised already. No need to think what to do and where to go so they can continue focused on earning more to afford to join again 🤓 For many people it is cheaper than living in USA. Just monthly rent in some USA cities is 3000 usd… and not only USA

albaalbina 5d

I know how much it cost to live in US. That's why people become nomads..to avoid paying that much.. I just don't like companies who are taking advantage of nomads. Prices should be fair. Like for locals.

bohdandrozdov 5d

prices can't be fair since the value that you get is very subjective

you can't have local prices for things like accommodation if you stay shorter than locals

albaalbina 5d

But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about services and products that charge more just because you're a foreigner or nomad, not because the cost to deliver is different. That's not 'subjective value,' that's a markup on your passport

bohdandrozdov 5d

there are products of nomads, locals don't need them

do you think locals go to conference for digital nomads or workations for remote workers?

albaalbina 5d

that's not a conference btw, it's a coliving packages. and look at the prices , gor example, NOMA charges $3090/mo for a 12sqm studio in Seoul. a normal studio there is like $500-900. so you're paying 3-5x more for some yoga classes and an eSIM. excursions not even included lol. that's not fair niche pricing, that's just taking advantage of people who don't don't know local prices and are willing to pay for convenience and community

bohdandrozdov 5d

you compare short term rental prices and long-term rental

price is also a part of value, because you can meet people who can afford it

do you think entrepreneurs or people with a successful career what to hang out a lot with a backpackers?

bohdandrozdov 5d

if you are budget traveler - that's fine

it doesn't mean everyone is like you

albaalbina 5d

Lol these colivings aren't 'entrepreneur networking events,' they're open to anyone with $3k. and you're basically saying it's fine to overcharge because it filters out poor people? that's not value, that's a velvet rope with a markup

albaalbina 5d

i'm not a budget traveler lol, i've lived in 22 countries. i just know what things actually cost because i've been doing this for 5 years. knowing you're overpaying isn't being cheap, it's called experience

bohdandrozdov 5d

I am saying that you don't know how price/value for premium products works

albaalbina 5d

ok let me explain since this is literally my field. premium pricing works when the product justifies the cost — better materials, real exclusivity, superior experience. a Four Seasons charges 5x a regular hotel because the service and quality are actually 5x better. these colivings charge 3-5x for the same 12sqm room you'd find on Airbnb, add a yoga class and a WhatsApp group, and call it premium. that's not premium pricing, that's a markup on people not knowing what things cost locally

kateshar 5d

If it is like for locals, then where is the profit? I don’t join those programs for the same reason. I can do it myself for way cheaper especially if there is 2 of us.

kateshar 5d

There are shops in the world that don’t have prices on the products🤷‍♀️ because people who buy don’t care about the price 🤓 I guess the same is here.

Hey Roman, Sounds like a tough choice. I lived in Ukraine for a year and a Ukrainian friend was wondering how to get a passport somewhere. Until when is your passport valid? If you had a EU passport - how would you decide about the job offer now?

An Australian friend moved to Germany with the high tech visa last year and I think he can get a passport in 3 years.
