no this is old bussiness guy he need in person , i barely work 1 hr in a week

Well if they pay is okay, you could keep the job till you have a new plan for how to support yourself while moving to a new place that fits your needs better

no quitting, unless you can live off you business!

Would also recommend to build alongside keeping job it’s the best case if you have lots of free time to work on ur own projects

The pay is good, and I'm building products here to improve my skills and learn marketing.

I think that’s the case in most countries I’ve seen my friend.

Unaiz if I were you, I'd keep the job, not spend too much time on it, and build projects on the side. Reason I say this is, for me, my dream is to make a living from indie projects. I actually quit my job to do so, but that was because my job demanded lots of hours.. if I only had to work an hour or two a day I wouldn't have quit.

I suggest you separate the goal of "making enough income to pay the bills" from "building your own products". If you can do both and not spend a lot of time on the former, that would be the ideal. I also wouldn't try to find smart tech people you can learn from at a _job_. Go to meetups if they have them wherever you're located. Meet people online. Don't expect a job that pays the bills to have those people. Some of the highest paying jobs have a lot of people who really are in the field for the money and not because they're interested in tech.

One other thing since this is Nomad List. If it's important to you to be able to work remotely, maybe before you do anything else, negotiate remote at your current job. If you're really a rock star at the job I don't see why they wouldn't accommodate you.

danag is is on my bucket list

Good points!!

Yeah, I have to keep working until my products make enough money for sushi.

Ha ha 😂

Anyone else here going on nomad cruise 18?

im in a similar situation, will soon be travelling to thailand. wanted to get DTV visa as well but they have recently made it harder to get.

Hi, I am an Australian who teaches English to Russian speakers around the world. I expect my field will mostly be made redundant in the next 5 years. Can anyone give me ideas of a skill I can develop in order to continue to live as a digital nomad/freelance?

Hi Yasmine, I completely get the feeling. I think any idea or upskilling recommendation would be poorly suited as we don’t know you that well. That being said; you have your teaching experience. If I were you I’d start taking mental (or physical) notes of everyday problems or rarer ones, areas with room for improvement; pick one I’d not get bored of working on, and start building a solution for that. I’d first test for demand by surveying some potential users. If you have someone technical you can team up with, you can turn it into an Edtech startup.

But IDK about you, this may not be for everyone & I don’t know your constraints. Either way, best of luck. 🤞🏻

I suggest to listen to or read the book “Who moved my cheese” it helped me too. I think it’s a time of change for most businesses and careers and we all need to take our best chance. With AI there is many new possibilities and opportunities. I think it’s good to use the skills you’ve built already and see if there is something connected to that that will have a high demand in future and not many people / companies will be able to offer the same or not on your level.

where lol

Similar for me, it’s a challenge but once you establish the routine that works for you, then you can do it anywhere. I stay 2-3 months in every destination. Which means that I sign up for a local gym and primarily use free weights. I do 3 1-hour workouts per week + 1 1-hour pool swimming.

Anyone else here doing nomadcruise 18 from bcn to Dominican Republic !

There's a huge Facebook group for the DTV. I just like the idea of having a home base and not having to do visa runs

hey everyone, i’m looking for one or two cool coliving places EU/Australia/New Zealand for this winter. Ideally I want something that’s doable without a car and has lots of things nearby. Any recommendations? thanks

Hey everyone, I am on my SEA trip for the coming months. Would like to know if you guys know about fitness communities I can join/collab with. Starting from KL - soon to be in Bangkok, Bali.

Hi everyone, I am planning to visit Bali, seeking for the remote job opportunity. Does anyone know about the popular local digital nomad community in Bali that I can visit? Looking forward to your recommendations.

i think it's better to get a job and go there

Hey everyone. Anyone got a cosign invite?

Need a suit. Budget under $1000. Am I better off renting at this price? Location: California

Hey Sergio can you please share the Facebook group?

https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19bsKq7jZZ/

Cheers!

True. There was no Bolt a few months ago and also not in the last years as far as I know. The Yandex Taxi app worked.

Who else don't have any residential address??

I'd really like to know how you guys are working around address documentation when applying for visas, signing up with investment platforms, etc.

How long are u without adress?

do you need general one or from the US?

Is anybody using Couchsurfing for meetings or hang outs?

I don't know if it worth keeping paying for that

I’ve been pretty active on CS for some years. Started 5 years ago.

Since the new update I don’t really like it anymore. I might cancel my subscription too.

Oh
First time I hear about it. I'll try.

I tried, wasn’t working for me at all.

any founders / builders coming to Sri Lanka in the next few months. would be cool to organise some builder / cowork sessions and socials.

im coming end of November for almost a month. happy to join any founders group.

Anyone here working as a psychologist/psychotherapist?
I'm local from Lisbon, where I currently live.

Because I work for an international audience, mostly in English (I'd say C1 level), I find myself wondering where else in the world is there a need for this kind of expertise.

why is this group so inactive? is there something else im missing? slack or smth

Really sad how they ran that into the ground. I used to love it.

Yes.

Are you spending 1-2 hours every evening scrolling on your phone or watching TV?
What if you could spend that exact same time on your laptop and make money to cover your groceries, gas, or a weekend getaway?

I've got 4 clients who are psychotherapists. Maybe I can answer some questions or connect you with whoever is most relevant. Feel free to DM

The redesign is so bad.

Nomad Table
Pangea
TripBFF

are some alternatives but I only used nomad table for meetups.

i see
do you know of any alternatives?

I already mentioned them. Scroll up

idk nothing feels conversationally engaging here. I have the other two platforms but didn't know this group was on them, and also I've barely said anything in here for an entire year

Slack days were better for sure

The friction from moving away from Slack was a big thing. But also how many people are even still nomading these days? Seems like everyone got on the bandwagon with nomading during the pandemic, then came RTO mandates, then came a brutal job market. I wonder to what extent lack of remote opportunities affects the # of people that are even nomading right now.

Interestingly I think that the popularity of nomading make some challenges for a community setup like this.

In hotspots like Chiang Mai for example, there are multiple large WhatsApp communities that hit their group chat size limits every few months and then roll a brand new group chat.

Individual geoup chats with more posts than all of Nomad List Telegram today.

When I was a baby nomad, a meetup through nomadlist was the best way to find the weird group of like minded remote working people visiting the same place to have a dinner and a drink. All the digital nomads could just go to one event on a Thursday night.

Now, individual cities have groups and sub groups by topic, by interest, by gender, by language, and just being a meetup for nomads isn't specific enough.

Just an observation.

Yes I think this is a great point. Nomading went mainstream, so just being a nomad isn't an identity anymore, everyone is

Slack cost me $20,000/mo back then so I had to cancel it, I like Telegram but I agree it's not optimal

I think moving to an iOS/Android app with chat + web chat is probably good

You can also setup a chat section on the site or create an app

Yes exactly, vibe coding Slack now is easy, I have nomads.com/chat already but will make it features same as Slack

Wow the founder of nomads, Hello!

Yes exactly, vibe coding Slack now is easy, I have nomads.com/chat already but will make it features same as Slack

Is there anyone in Armenia! Will be in AM from 17th to 25th

Anybody already been surfing in Hainan?

do we have any sales guy ,i have some question for you .:)

Here :)

Why vibe code though, I like to understand what I deploy so I can stand behind it

Hey guys I had a question regarding headaches and bottlenecks when traveling? How many of
You spend so much time researching the perfect set of spots for a city to that you maximize your time there and see what people talk about?


This is how I think and I was wondering if other people here think like that or if they are thinking differently when it comes to travel.

I drove myself crazy researching for my trip to Cartagena, and still ended up kinda disappointed with my picks. I started enjoying myself more by just walking and going to places I felt better vibes on. Ai and the internet in general are so filled with shit these days, it’s si hard to parse that out.

Hahaha totally get your point. Yeah I’d always prefer to ask locals for recommendations for anything or just go and explore in person to feel and see the vibes.

Thanks for sharing :)

Youtube, google maps, google, reddit, blogs, different AI’s. Anything I could find online, it’s overwhelming, specially because there’s so many stories of people getting scammed in Cartagena, and omg if you start reading the bad reviews of places then you’ll never go anywhere hahaha

(building for 18 months not recently LoL)

Anyone planning to buy a house in Japan?

Anyone in Albania/Tirana right now?

Any one in Hyderabad, India?

is buying a house financially worth it anymore?

Cheap ones I guess

Is there a reasons why it doesn't?

I am digital nomad and I'd like to relocate in Europe
