Hey everyone — built something that might be useful for people who train at different gyms when traveling.

Built a small tool called Clev that might help with training logging accuracy — it decodes what any gym machine weight actually means in real terms. Photo or text, response in seconds. Yo don´t need an app because it works on WhatsApp and Telegram. would love honest feedback from this community. If you are interested in trying it for free let me know!

Wow some of the pricing people are asking seems very, very high. Might want to add some kind of feedback loop to the owners if they price out of market average or something.

Solid list, Tony. I follow similar minimalist principles, and currently this is my top 10 tools:
1. Bitwarden — moved from 1Password because I prefer the open-source alternative and their free plan gives me everything I need.
2. Debit cards from multiple providers and packed in two different bags. I use Revolut, Wise, N26, Bunq, Zen com, ING Australia.
3. Every physical card has an Apple Pay counterpart on my iPhone and Apple Watch. For redundancy.
4. I rarely have medical emergencies, so I only carry ibuprofen, disinfectant, plasters.
5. All my devices use USB-C, so I only use Apple chargers + official adapters.
6. For backwards compatibility, I have a short Rolling Square inCharge XL 6-in-1 cable.
7. For full-day trips with heavy phone usage, I carry a Baseus 20W Magnetic 6000mAh Powerbank.
8. However, my iPhone 17 Pro (eSIM only) with the vapor chamber holds for a full day even with heavy usage.
9. MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro 32 GB RAM is still a beast. The fans are handy during heavy AI tasks and when working in hot environments.
10. Emergency account — same as Tony, I have easy to access funds to cover for unexpected expenses. Both Wise and Revolut offer dedicated Flexible Cash accounts with around 3.5% interests to protect money from inflation.

I wrote more about these tools on my blog:

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Planing to go to Rome next week, but no logistics figured out yet. I’m from Brazil, anyone there in Italy?

Is there a way to unsubscribe the remote jobs group? Super annoying.

Got a notice from Google Fi that it is about to suspend my international roaming, which is primarily used outside the US. Which carrier should I change to now?

Hi, does anyone know the best ways to earn beer money while abroad? I am an English tutor online but I would like to make some extra cash on the side :)

Does anyone have any good locations for entrepreneurs? I'm building micro SaaS products and looking for locations where I may meet other people doing something similar.

Assuming places like Bali/Thailand would be good, but just curious if there are ways to find these communities/co-working spaces a little easier.

Do you mean physical location? Nomads.com has maps of coworking spaces per city. Although they are not always accurate (they also include cafes and libraries sometimes, but most of the coworkings should be on there). There are also coworkbooking.com which list them.

Is there an Armenia chat? I can’t find one. I’ll be traveling to Armenia June 16th. Is anyone there?

Hi everyone

I’m looking to connect with travel agents and tour operators interested in partnering on safari experiences in Tanzania. If you’d like to explore collaboration opportunities, please send me a message. I’d be happy to chat.

Mods: how stop notifications from a channel? Yes, I’ve pressed the mute button. Yes, I’ve tried pressing it only once and waiting. But I have one specific channel I cannot mute! All others are fine. Issues has been happening for a few months now!

Same here 🤣 pls help

Don’t think any mods left here. I’d Iove to delete the (spam) channel “remote jobs”.

Hi, I like rain, so here in Tamarindo now, don't see much of digital nomads, is it a season thing or a cost thing?

Hey guys, any italian experienced in nomading? Would like to ask some bureaucratic questions 🙏

I guess the “remote” part of this job is that it’s on a remote island. That’s an interesting take :)

“Job Summary

To clean and maintain the standards throughout the public areas of the Resort.

Key Duties And Responsibilities

Removes trash, vacuums, dusts and cleans all offices.
Sweeps, mops, and cleans lobby, front desk, and lobby restrooms and maintains throughout the day on a regular basis.
Ensures all supplies are consistently available to guests”

Great curation of interesting jobs for nomads. 😂

It’s getting more and more spammy 🥲 Hard to find messages from nomads in between

Oh well. Am bailing

Has someone submitted a feedback regarding this already?

Where?

I’m opening the app and see 8 new messages from nomads and 619 messages from the hyper spam channel “remote job”. 🤯 This entire community is nothing compared to what it used to be.

And those “remote” jobs aren’t remote. Idk a Chipotle crew member or a FedEx courier that could work from home lol

Yeah it has gotten much worse with the spam recently

Thank you really appreciate it!!!!

Has anyone here changed their U.S. state residency to a lower-tax state while working remotely?

Did it create any issues with your employer, payroll, or taxes, or was it pretty straightforward?

our customers do it everyday, you might encounter issues with South Dakota

with FL/NV/TX you will be fine

I changed mine to South Dakota while I was living overseas and had zero issues

I didn’t have any employees though so ymmv

digital nomad telegram has become super spammy. Does anyone have a solution? I’m about to block and delete everything. I cannot mute channels anymore, and I’m getting so much spam from the retail, jobs and many more channels. Has anyone found a solution, or has DM been abandoned and it’s all lost?

I have many groups I am part of and I’m not going to mute the whine of Telegram because DMs so bad. If this isn’t resolved. I’m just leaving it. Simples.

I get there’s so many new people. But DMs has become a DM joke.

There is a complaint / idea already, you could post another one

I agree. Also, it became very strict ( because telegram blocks you every time you use particular word/topic) and Boring as Hell! Nobody talks here anymore as we used to before!!

I don’t really care about a recommendation. This is a fundamental issue. Not a small tweak that can wait for the ‘enough posts’ to get it in motion. If there are truely no mods left, then this is all pointless. Who cares about the membership and communities when there’s so much spam

Thank you!!! 100 agreed

I gave up. I used to be able to chat and meet with people. Now to all bad

100% I also used to be able to friends via nomadlist chat. Now its impossible !

Hey, is someone here visiting Buenos Aires???

Hi friends, I've been traveling in Asia for a while and am looking to get a digital nomad visa in Portugal or Bulgaria.

My issue is that to apply for one, they require you to be in your home country, which means I'd have to go back to Canada 🇨🇦.

Has anyone figured out how to apply from abroad? 🙏🏾

From any country where you have residency

Where are you right now? The best path is to get a residency card at a place where you are traveling, most country require this to process visa to even begin with

Is this specific to Portugal ?

Travelling Europe on a tourist visa

WUHU 👏🏼 spam free for two days already 🤣

Brazil to Canada? Works

Hello there, I’m new here, nice to meet you all
I want to take my cats with me next time to Thailand and wonder if there is anyone who travel with pets?

it's very stressful for them, don't travel with them unless you are moving

Well ofc I will not take them for 2 weeks trip, it’s more a 6 months escape

you do you

but it's still stressful for them

dogs can handle nomadic lifestyle, but cats can't

You celebrated too early.

Hi! Do you know of any reliable annual travel insurance with good coverage for expats and digital nomads? I'm looking for recommendations other than IATI or Heymondo. Thanks! 😊

Hey Paula, I’ve been using SafetyWing for many years. Luckily had only minor medical emergencies and always got money back from them. If you have specific questions you can DM me.

Cigna

Hey guys! New here! Ive been travelling since 2021! Did a bunch of countries! Happy to meet anyone!

Hey Simon, where are you now?

Anyone currently in HCMC? Have a small emergency and could use some help.

Preply.com

So many questions at once lol Booking.com gives you rewards, Revolut, lots of small cities, especially in LatAm

Pete doesn’t give a sht any longer about the quality of these channels.

Hey all! Anyone here have any experience using Wander Wallet? https://wanderwallet.io/

Hey guys, I just joined nomads.com, but as soon as I log in I can't access my profile or settings. Has anyone an idea how to fix this? Thanks 🙂

Inevitable. Unfortunately Google has a massive advantage here.. ITA Matrix (worth looking it up). This is my industry. (We're beta-ing our MCP w/ direct connects to 500 airlines. Can search, book, checkin, change, etc.)

Indeed! I remember when Google bought ITA Matrix and polished their Google Flight search engine. Thanks to the data quality, it's my primary flight research tool. What's the name of the MCP you're beta-ing? Will it be publicly available?

happy to share over dm. and yes, semi-public w/accounts is the goal!

hey guys joined nomad, earlier this year but not been making so much moves with it. been looking into nomad lifestyle for over three years now, before finally clicking the role that moves the need a bit close a while ago, now i am looking into relocation. eastern europe, is the goal at the moment.

atm, i am not looking to go full on nomad but rather nomad + relocation.

also does anyone know how to migrate from personal banking to business banking as african

Hey guys, why is there no Brasil group? Can Admin create one?

Thank you,

There is one, look again

There is one.

Revoult not available for Canadians 😒

I have travel insurance from my bank (LHV in Estonia), as part of my credit card. The fee is 7 euro per month, and includes medical, trip cancellation and delays. Worldwide coverage, including US and Singapore, for unlimited trips up to 90 days each. I have already used it twice (medical emergency, and travel delay), and in both cases got compensation super fast, and without any issues. I’m grandfathered on the old plan, now they have similar credit cards plans, but with 20 euro per month. So my first choice would be to check with your bank.

Hello all, somebody have been nomading in Madagascar and has any tips? 😬🥹🫶🏾

random q — anyone here want to break a relocation app for me. built something that ranks cities off your income/passport/job instead of the generic “top 10 nomad cities” lists, curious if the numbers actually match reality for people who’ve done this. free access if you’re down to poke holes in it, will dm the link

Is there any group for Czech Republic? I am a bit confused as how to search for country groups

Czechia is there

Does anyone have advice on How did you all manage traveling with a partner for longer periods of time abroad? Do you have a base in your home country, pay rent there and go abroad or how does it work? Family?

Keeping your apartment at home will lead to paying rent twice. Sublet it or terminate your lease.

Hey everyone 👋 Anyone here building D2C ecom brands?

It's all up to you at your current stage of life. In 2024 I met my partner in Kuala Lumpur and found a great apartment close to KLCC. Started renting it via Booking com. After 3 months I developed a good relationship with the landlord and now I pay them directly. But only for the time we are in KL.

Every time we go abroad, like now in Chiang Mai for 2 months, I move my stuff from the apartment to my partner’s family home. When I'm back, I take my stuff and move into the same apartment.

Additionally, by renting long-term in our travel destinations, we're getting a better deal than short-term local rentals.

Works very well.

What's your home base YS? And where are you and your partner going next?

Home base NY no partner just forecasting if traveling is irresponsible with one

People’s recommendations for remote work cities that work well for 9:30pm to 5:30pm UK working hours. Don’t mind doing a later day like starting at 2/3pm in the afternoon and finishing at night. I just wouldn’t want to be waking up super early in the morning or working through the night. Also places that aren’t ridiculously hard or expensive to find long term rents. Thank you. 💪🏼
