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

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

Love Mexico City but as many have pointed out, yes it’s gotten very expensive for rent. for a city that has earthquakes, no drinkable running water, poor infrastructure and safety concerns, I cannot understand the prices. However, there is SO much fun to be had here. It was hard to focus on work because I would be going out so much. Love the food. Definitely can’t wait to go back. Looking for places outside the Condesa bubble though as prices have sky rocketed.

Difficult to find places to work in the evenings if you work for a western company. Hard to find a good quality restaurant, Google reviews are very inflated here.

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

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

Lived in Prague for 8 years. It's a beautiful international European city. Never learned Czech, but was fine. Almost all cafes and restaurants have English menus. Superb food delivery apps (Wolt is the best). All the food you can imagine. Vietnamese food is world-class because of the huge Vietnamese population. If you want hipster bars and cafes, there's plenty of that. If you want old-world-charm there's plenty of that. If you want posh luxury there's some of Europes best restaurants and cockta

New York is cool. I’ve visited multiple times to see my family throughout my life, and recently came back from my first post-COVID trip there. Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion. I used to think that New Yorkers were smug by claiming that NYC was better than everywhere else, but now I totally get it lol. My personal favourite neighbourhood is the Upper East Side, which is where you’ll find the coveted Museum Mile. But I also
