Bangkok is one of my favorite cities. Very cyberpunk vibes. Huge, full of skyscrapers, impressive concrete infrastructure for the BTS skytrain, great architecture and design, super fancy shopping malls, lights, noise, tuktuks, street food vendors, prostitutes and ladyboys, cannabis shops, and advertisements everywhere for beauty products, cosmetic surgery clinics or various furutistic-sounding medical treatments. There are two ways to live in Bangkok: either you live cheaply in a poorly insu

I don't get why anyone comes here. It's a semi-rural town with poor walkability and few sources of shade. There's way better places to go in SEA.

2nd time to Tokyo in 2 years. So much to see and do and great value in the past few years due to a declining yen against the USD & Euro. Wework (not open past 6pm & only iceberg open on weekends), Airalo Esim, and Wise Visa are your friend. Check out my Youtube for some nomad guides (Chicvoyage, @digitalnomadworld). I like Roppongi area. Stay in a hotel

Wanted to remind people not to get too comfortable and forget that this place has problems with crime. I was staying in the Retiro neighborhood and let my guard down one night, and two thugs robbed me of my phone. I thought because the area didn't look as dangerous as some places I saw in Colombia, that I would be fine coming back from a bar late. I realize I was stupid, but it can happen to anyone. It's an interesting city with lots to do, but you definitely shouldn't let your guard down.

Absolutely beautiful country. Everything functions well. Cost is low. Endless beautiful cafes and sights. Cons: The locals are not very friendly. Need an app for everything because English is not common.

Berlin used to be nomad base in Europe... but it's not the same anymore. The 'pandemic' changed many things -- the cost of course, but also the culture -- the freedom and liberty have been contained. The police presence and size of the state have grown -- definitely doesn't feel so relaxed anymore. It's also important to note here -- there is limited ambition. Most are looking for an easy, fun and peaceful life -- which is great, but if you are building something or running a business it can fee

I've never had such rude, aggressive, slow, uninterested service anywhere as in Portugal. Portuguese do not understand the basic idea of a customer paying for a service and getting something in return. Many Portuguese explicitly stated to me they really just don't care about money. But at the same time they complain about not making enough money because costs are so high. That sums up the Portuguese mindset: I'm not willing to work hard at my job to deliver a good product or service, but I e

Sofia is a pretty safe city, lots of nice parks, at least in some areas of town. Pro's: Safe, relatively well connected (airport), good nightlife (if you are a student or part of the support center crowd), nice hinterland for recreational activities. Con's No longer cheap, low service quality, low quality of food (I've seen Cosmos featured here and c'mon :), the expat scene is well developed but again, more at the level of support center staff

Budapest was on my list about cities for living. I stayed for 7 days and was a little disappointed People are not very friendly, lots os places very dirty, people smoke a lot and the costs isn't affordable as people indicated here. Its a beautiful place, walkable, people have a good level of education, lots of things to do, but not as i imagined. Even so its a nice place.

I noticed most cafes are very work friendly! (eg: fast wifi, abundance of power plugs and nobody will pressure you to keep ordering, altho i'd recommend to support local busineses ;) )

It's a pretty awesome place and next year will definitely stay for longer. So clean, has amazing people, and great culture

good: - very walkable friendly city - many good cafes, restoraunts, coffee shops with specialties coffee - great architecture - many parks bad: - amlost no AC anywhere - 38c at night (august), not humid tho. it’s not thailand 38c - aqi 82

I just came back after 12 years, last time I lived in SF for 3 months in 2012. Back then it was a walkable and clean and fun, pretty safe city. The only place back then that you'd avoid was the Tenderloin. There was homeless but they actually weren't aggressive. There wasn't much robberies either. San Francisco in 2024 is very different, as you've probably seen from social media. The homeless problem has grown a lot since then, and they're not just clustered in the Tenderloin, they're all over

Jeju seems gorgeous and cool (very breezy) in the spring, but the nicer the weather, it starts to get overrun with Chinese tourists. The trails along the coast have incredible views of cool islands in the ocean, with crashing waves against rocky cliffs, rolling meadows covered with flowers, and winding tree covered paths, though the trail has so many tourists that it’s very “manicured.” Ask around or just explore and you can find more rustic mountain trails, pass by unexpected mound grave

Bringing a laptop to cafes is often met with hostility from the staff, this seems very common in Amsterdam. Because of this I'm often working from the Public Library (OBA)

Stay in one of these neighborhoods: Itaim Bibi, Jardim Europa, Jardim Paulista, or Pinheiros, and it will be great.
