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. 💪🏼

My company has a policy of - no office, fully remote workforce. I show up 9-5 PST online. They don't know where I am exactly and don't care.

That is one way - find a fully remote company, build trust, show up for office time.

Do any of you use multiple types?

I purchased a Claude pro subscription because it is best for coding. But then I also have a Google One for my data backup, which comes with Gemini, so using Gemini Pro as well for smaller tasks.

im currently with
claude- > coding
midjourney -> images
suno -> music

thats it

you should switch to GTP SOL for coding - Fable 5 it's soo nerfed

nah, i dont like switching things too much, ive switched to anthropic on sonnet 3.5 and even if one week the model is behind openai, they always catch back

yeah if you need just basic coding claude it's still ok

what do you mean?

you install VS code - you give to VS all your context (you can build this with claude - your context = folders with md files with all your procedures, notes, operatios , scripts, everything you think your AI should know for reach your goals)

so do you have subscriptions on all or do you pay per tokens with this setup?

Hey! If anyone is around Argentina, Buenos Aires and want to come to a n8n meetup I’m hosting here is the invite: https://luma.com/n8n-i77p

Anyone here ever changed their Nomads.com account email before?
I need to transfer mine to a coworker. Appreciate any help. 🙏

Ah bummer, I’ll be in CDMX by then. If you know anything fun going on in BsAs before July 26 - please feel free to DM! 🙏

Subs

In my experience, one of the best ways is to use the product first and learn about the company behind it. That's how I found my current remote and location-independent contract.

Anyone interested in planning a meetup / hike in the Italian / Swiss alps this summer?

Hi guys. What personality traits and opinions which leads to nomadic life style?

maybe a strong need of freedom?

I’m good at adapting to places, but primary thing is whether you can (have opportunity to do so), I got remote job at startup with a good pay, one day decided why not, I’m not a hardcore nomad but travelled quite a bit of places here and there

I am really opposing to a 9 to 5 job with a micro management boss. However, I think is still transitioning to opc

Hey guys ! Thinking of leaving Medellin soon, Where else do you recommend thats in the same time zone as USA ?

Buenos Aires / Sao Paolo are my current favorites

Has anyone been to Arequipa? ChatGPT told me to check it out also aha

It's ok for a few nights not sure I'd want to live there long term. It's def cheap, though. Decent weather. Decent walkable historic core.

I agree with this, ok for a short visit but nothing special imo

Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

Since remote year is gone, what other remote programs is everyone finding valuable and good experiene? I am interested in something like remote year

Hey everyone!

My wife and I (both 30) are most likely planning to stay in Bali from mid-February to mid-April, probably in the Canggu / Pererenan area.

Since we love meeting like-minded people who enjoy traveling and the digital nomad lifestyle, we’re thinking about sharing a co-living villa.

A little about us:
- We are both working part-time
- We love going out for food but generally eat healthy.
- We work out regularly.
- We love nature, enjoy scuba diving (we both have our AOWD certification), or simply relaxing at the beach.
- We’re also always up for chill movie or game nights, or going out for drinks and partying 🥂

If that sounds like your vibe and you’d be interested, feel free to send me a DM! 😊

Visiting Jamaica at the moment and I’m surprised that digital nomading isnt done more here. Seems like a great place for the next Bali.

It’s really beautiful, but quite smallish and probably not too many expats.

Hey somebody in Madagascar ?

Good... morning?
Well, I am looking for a September destination in Europe. Up to 20 degrees, accomodation for 1400 euro top and a lot of nature outside. Oh, and good food is a must.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Barcelona

Check Brasov. Might fit your needs.

Where do you find an apartment In Barcelona under 2000 euro?

An apartment on your own rented for a month in a convenient central location you won’t. But in our co-living several people stay on a monthly or weekly basis paying around €1200 for half an apartment in a good location

Hey everyone! Quick question:

Has anyone here ever done a small founder/nomad house?

I’m thinking about spending 2–3 months in a villa near a surf beach (considering Uluwatu) with 3–4 founders or creators. The goal would just be to build, surf, train and keep each other accountable.

Anyone done this? If anyone interested let me know

Bit about me; did an exit and now working on a B2c consumer app + grow to 1M followers on socials
