Hoping to see all the cool stuff people are working on while they live an extraordinary life.
I wonโt call it a start up but I have created a website, social community style for polyamorous people and those in other types of open relationships. Its hard, mainly because we need voluntary bloggers and people able to feature their poly related designed products in our shop. We are getting there. Iโve done it for fun and of course the hard part is to get money from it. We have more than 1000 users but the important part is to make them active and participative in the forums.

I have launched my startup website recently Robotinfra an Infrastructure Management and DevOps consulting shop
Any nomads in the fashion industry?
I do design, photography and video, but I also have my streetwear clothing line. Would be cool to find cool people to collaborate around here.
looks cool. I have a friend working on gnossem.com in singapore. Sheโs doing pretty well so far.
We are building and running a successful startup from a mobile office, a land rover defender, while we travel through south america. Besides the business we are creating a series of videos which we release on a two weekly basis.

Loving the diaries! Iโm in Mexico working remotely for a US agency and connection can be tough enough as it is without constantly being on the road! Looking forward to future episodes. For how long will you guys be traveling?
I recently launched BikeSharing. But now Iโm thinking of how I can make it more known out there and develop further.
I have a few other ideas cooking, but nothing visible yet.
Iโm available to work with some of you if you need developing skills.
Iโve soft launched my own location independent startup recently
[joomlaassist.com][1]
Guess which book I read? 
Iโd like to join a mastermind group or start one up together. Any founders with similar SaaS based business here that are interested?

Iโve been involved in growth positions in startups for a while, but Iโm also an entrepreneur at heart and have been working on a new project called Daily Pulse
Daily Pulse is a simple way for remote teams and managers to keep track of their teamโs daily progress, achievements, and feedback. Making remote collaboration more fun and easy!
Iโve been building a web & mobile development studio in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for the past year. Currently have 10 awesome developers and looking to hire 15+ by the end of 2015!
Currently redesigning the site: demo
This is awesome! How did you get started? Iโm in Myanmar and Iโm trying to develop an app. Iโve already designed the ui/ux but looking for an engineering partner. Maybe we can chat about how your studio and I could work with one another?
Iโve got one cooking that should be launching in a few months with a โminimum viable product.โ Not sure anyone here would be interested, but Iโll let yโall know when itโs ready. Itโs a โlegal zoomโ type of service specifically tailored for game and mobile app developers.
Thatโs awesome! Best of luck, @alawyerabroad. Please share when youโre out of stealth.
Launched TrimPics.com - Unlimited design tasks for a set price- 3 months ago as a side project after reading the 7 day startup by Dan Norris and its been doing good for additional side income, trying to find a co-founder to develop the idea further and take it to the next level.
Interesting idea @hodaraadam. Iโve been helping www.zeplin.io, it might help you with streamlining design communication and implementation. How has the growth been?
Just added my email to zeplin.io! .
I went live only a week ago after building a โhackedโ backend and the email list with betalist and other methods and got my first paying clients, the interesting thing is that the few clients that joined are using it and requesting changes almost daily and they are really happy (emailed to thank me , etc)
Now need to think of how to scale with some content marketing that is not my forte so looking to partner with someone , if anybody knows of someone that might have free time and want to work on it together?
@hodaraadam where are you based out of, and how much time commitment are you looking for? I could help or I know some people that might be able to. Let me know, and best of luck!
Hey @mattlock I am in Costa Rica right now, I am kind of looking for someone to complement what I donโt have so ideally would be someone like a partner/co founder but any help is welcome right now, do you or someone you know has experience with content marketing/guest posting/outreach? I can also pay a salary but ideally would be someone that is all invested in and go 50-50 or something of this sort.
I have background in growth hacking, I could help you with your strategy. A lot of time for blogs and guest posting is that you just have to write it up and then sell the blogs and etc on it. Most places are starving for content, so if it fits their frame, theyโll usually add it. Which is a win for you.
Het Matt, I might ask you for a growth hacking advice soon 
Iโm the nomadic 25% of BitGym. The rest of my cofounding team is based in California where I worked with them till November 2013 when I took off being nomadic. So the company has been around a while and is a bit mature, but weโre still a tiny team, which lets me keep all the flexibility to have my nomadic lifestyle. If anyone is in the fitness or nature-videographing industry, hit me up!
is this 8bit? If it is, Iโm already a fan! different business, but have you seen the app http://www.crossyroad.com/. Pretty much my new addiction.
BitGym looks cool! At first I was like mehhh, but the more I went through the site, the more it seems like a great idea. Well done!
@hodaraadam I am a marketer specializing in content, growth hacking etc. iโm at [email protected]. Sorry am I allowed to include my email here? I just signed onto the forum today. cheers, Care
@bryceadams did a great job with his startup. i hate monthly payment services and try to avoid them as much as possible, but Iโm considering using his service then i justify itโs value for me .
Iโm an IT engineer that tries to prove that I can do something besides IT. And iโm currently working on these:
www.workingretreat.com -> thatโs my creative gateway and hope it will be yours at some point too 
www.magiccircus.co -> itโs not really a business, itโs more of a charity project. The goal is to deliver magic and laughter to kids who donโt have access to it, but thatโs not all. Iโm more of techy guy in a team, who is doing sound/gadget/video editing/development kind of things
Iโm considering my next project to be more tech savvy 
I wouldnโt call it a startup but I just launched a new product I built over the weekend - Nomad SMS. Itโs difficult to know when something should be labeled a โstartupโ - I find it easier just to look at things as projects. I guess it makes failure more acceptable to me
There is this good quote by Mig Reyes from 37signals, โWhen everythingโs an experiment, you shed the fear that comes with trying new things. And that sounds like a better way to grow and learn.โ
Wow, in a weekend!? Looks like an amazing fix to a huge problem while traveling. I love it! Howโs the growth so far?
Haha, cheers! Itโs good, 10 or so new users. Mainly the response has been great, leading to the idea feeling very validated. Now time to reiterate everything and provide some more value
So what about you @mattlock - share with us what you are working on!
@bryceadams I agree with @skat that the monthly might be a bit of a nuance, I would imagine if you position it as a yearly price, it might seem more valuable for the user.
Iโm currently helping out some startups around the world, one being zeplin, who are working to streamline design/development communication for companies. Bindez, a myanmar search engine. And lastly, Iโm a co-founder of an international placement program called The GO Project..
@skat looks great, Iโm with Bryce, the retreat looks awesome. The magiccircus is a great initiative. Hoping the best for both!
Hey Matt! Iโm a Stanford student helping to create the next generation of virtual chatting for remote workers. Iโd love to pick your brain about how you communicate with your remote team. 
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 :)

My fiancรฉe and I are most likely moving to NYC (maybe DC) in August, and as a technical startup co-founder I'd love to meet new people that are also into startups. Would joining a co-working space be worth the money to do this?
I work for a big tech company that has an office in NYC, but it's mainly sales so I wouldn't be able to meet others that are related to any of my 9-5 work or likely into tech.
If co-working spaces, post covid of course, aren't a good way to meet business starting people in a new city, what is?
Does anyone ever travel to any Islands like Bermuda, Barbados, Barbuda and St. Kitts & Nevis?
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.
I am new to working out of coworking spaces. My business entails a lot of video conferences. I haven't chosen a specific coworking space yet but generally, what are the potential solutions for this? I have a microphone and headphones but still fell like it may be inconsiderate to take the calls anywhere in the coworking space. For a solo person, what are some general solutions? Are there usually options to rent a private room by the hour with just enough room to set up my microphone and laptop? Sidenote: any coworking space recommendations in Florianapolis, Brazil would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi there, title says it all. Canadian nomad hoping to find the city/town in Portugal with great, consistent surfing, a solid coworking spot, and a fun group of young nomads. Please recommend!
Hey Nomads, would love to know any thoughts here.
Top of the list are currently Tenerife, Lagos/Ericeira (Portugal) & Malta??
Would love to know if anyone can vouch for these at this time of year.
Beautiful beach would be the dream. Basically European Bali! I'm sure something many of us are searching for.
Thanks a million. Much love.

I'm in need of a tax advisor who understands "our" typical situation. I'm all good on being legal on taxes at this point, but as I'm doing more investing and there's more compliance and KYC and such, it's getting more complicated to deal with this topic. Not living in my country of citizenship, company in another country, resident in yet another country, banking in a different country ... you know how it is, a pile of red flags.
Would be great to find a good tax advisor to sort things in a way that makes my situation as "explainable" and easily dealt with as possible. Any leads?
Hi guys ! hope you are doing well.
I would love to get your feedback regarding the best insurance for digital nomads. i'm traveling around Asia since 1 year and for next 4 or 5 years. Would love to buy an insurance to cover especially :
- health
- laptop, phone ...
- Flights
We are hoping to travel later this year and we will be working remotely - how do you ensure you get good WiFi in places such as in India where the signal isn't always great? Do you have any tips on where to go/ what equipment you have to get?
Transactional Attorney with a focus on US Immigration. Burnt out doing the law firm thing. Trying to leverage skill to get on this digital nomad tip. Love the traveling experience, hostels, seeing new places, new cocktails etc etc.
My interest in DN lifestyle started when half of our company have been taking 1 month for remote work @ Ko Samui. It was truly cool but we observed quite some communication challenges. Communication seemed just โriskierโ when online.
What were your worst situations caused by misunderstanding while communicating online with your teammates? What do you do to avoid misunderstandings?
Hey Nomads!
Iโm looking for an international health insurance (no travel insurance) for my nomadic life. It should cover the basic services and at least be accepted in the EU (itโs ok if itโs not accepted in the US as Iโm aware they rarely are). Nice to have: enter into a contract online. Anyone got a good experience or a recommendation?
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone! Iโm new here and probably this is a very newbie question, but it doesnโt leave my head.
How do you, nomads, pay your taxes? I mean, if youโre constantly traveling, how are you going to pay taxes for a certain country if you are going to stay there a short period of time?
Or do you return to your โoriginal countryโ and then pay them?
By the way, this forum has very nice cool formatting features!
Hey guys, this was my first year as a Canadian nomad.
As far as I know of, Canadians donโt pay taxes if they do not live in the country for 6 months.
But Iโd like to talk to an accountant or someone who does Canadian taxes specifically for expats and nomads to get clear on the rules and for help on my return coming up.
Does anyone know someone who specializes in Canada who can help? Iโve seen plenty of US recommendations but none for us canucks.
Thanks guys!
I just landed as a n00b digital nomad in Mexico City, and I am wonderingโฆ Where are all the international digital nomads hiding around here? I have been to several coworking spaces (Selina etc.) only to find A LOT of local Mexican workers and businesses. Donโt get me wrong, that is all fine, but I was hoping to meet some international nomads! Any advice?
Thereโs been a lot of discussion on this recently.
Nomads usually stay in hostels, hotels and short-term apartments. But itโs all not very optimal.
Iโve heard people suggest getting funding and building a network of houses you can stay at for a subscription price (e.g. Bruno Haid is working on that).
I donโt want do physical stuff, so Iโm thinking of building a platform around making housing better for nomads.
What are the housing problems nomads face? And how can we solve them with products/services?
I vaguely remember hearing about such a service before, but Iโm drawing a blank on the name. Basically I left my tablet on a connecting flight in Europe, right before my main flight to Thailand. They have my tablet and are willing to ship it out for me, but people have warned me thereโs a big risk of it getting โlost in the mailโ if I ship something expensive like that to Thailand.
Iโm wondering if thereโs a service or community, where I can find a nomad whoโs in Europe/heading to Thailand soon, so I can have it shipped to them in Europe and pay them to ferry it down here for me? I met someone in Budapest a ways back who had built something for this type of use-case, but I canโt remember the name of it. Any help would be appreciated!
I have seen a lot of posts from different people across the world, but not even a single post from someone in India, who has been a nomad, either living within the country or traveling to another one.
Would definitely love to hear stories from such people. We are a couple traveling as social nomads who are trying to bridge the gap between the rural and urban societies in India. We have started out very humble and do not have much resources, so looking out for help from the community.
