so i got confused along the way, what the hell, i thought one should provide something that is valuable, do something that is useful, do something good

gbda you probably need psychologist, not a biased chat where half of us are very fortunate with unique circumstances. There is very little value in learning how one of us makes money because these journeys usually are not repeatable.
If you only consume social media you will only see people making money in social media. There is whole world around you. 👌
The introduction section is pretty good at answering your question “what we do”.

I guess i understand what you’re saying Ay. For the reasons you mentioned i left all social media years ago, whenever I can I spend time alone in the nature to disconnect and recharge. I also run and calisthenics which I can really recommend to you. Besides this meditation is a great tool to bring your focus back to yourself and what matters in a tough situation. I think the most powerful thing of all is to step back for sometime and really deeply reflect on your situation, learn from it, seek help and move forward with courage. You’re not alone in this, don’t beat yourself up for anything I’m sure you did the best you could. (Btw being alone without gf is difficult after a break up but it can be also a great opportunity of getting to know yourself better and growing personally in my opinion)

At one point my dream was to make a living with YouTube. I’ve gotten to almost 10k subscribers now, but realize that spending so much time on it isn’t good for mental health at all. A lot of the stuff I see on there now is toxic, narcissistic, abrasive garbage. Social media doesn’t bring anything positive to my life for sure and I notice the less screen time the better.

I can’t help but notice that the more time I spend on Reddit or YouTube, even just as a watcher, the worse I feel overall.

Been trying to watch line up and watch some traditional media in those moments of “relax” instead.

Really finding out about the “second screen trend” people have been talking about regarding movie/tv production :D

damn how is there no talk here about avoiding seed oils where you go

just don't eat fried food and you are good

Where would you go right now? Winding down a startup attempt in the brutal NYC winter want to unwind somewhere cheap with really good nature and fun people around

Hi, anyone coming to Tanzania? I’m happy to host you for 1 month maximum

Not that simple unfortunately, bread, stir-fried, sauces, all contain it, I wish it was that easy to avoid

it’s not realistic to avoid them completely unless you cook your food

the real issue is amount and processing: small amounts in bread or sauces are fine, the problem is when most calories come from ultra-processed or repeatedly fried foods

Anyone seen a Claude CoWork plugin for digital nomad travel planning? Working on some plans for the next few months and that would be neat if there was something pre-made to help with it

its easy when you care about your health

How do you nomad and do that at the same time. Even just buying healthy groceries when travelling is near impossible

1) stay longer in places
2) find supermarkets with healthy food
3) travel with own supplement s

Fair enough XD

Newbie question: My posts, anywhere on the site, appear right aligned and without my name. Is this standard, or am I messing up somehow? Thanks.

It is standard. :)

Anyone have a workplace that can benefit from SafetyWing? It’s insurance for nomads, and it’s the best insurance in the world (Norway)

Genki is way cheaper

Coming from the U.K. it's no way a good deal. I pay about 25e a month

It's insured by Allianz

Small-town vibe and so many things to do in and around the city. The only thing is, the Airbnb prices of 1k seem a bit steep to me, given what you get for the price when talking about the approximates. I personally love the hustle and bustle of the market area, but at the same time, living there long-term, the impunctuality of the people kinda got to me as a downside.

Impunctuality is a big thing in lots of latam destinations. Oaxaca is a lot more expensive now than it was four years ago when I first went so that price doesn’t surprise me. I can see it being good to spend a month but can understand how those used to bigger cities might get bored long term

Yeah, I lived there for 6 years. You can just imagine the price level 17 years ago 😆

Has anyone used slynumber? If so, is it any good?

Apparently it has real mobile numbers instead of voip, so 2fa codes will actually work. But I don’t want to port my number over without an opinion or two.

I use mobilesms.io

Because that is basically alternative medicine. Go dig up the actual meta analyses.

Hey, wondering what would be the best and most affordable nomad hubs in europe, planning a trip soon, and for now i've mostly identified Canary Islands and Portugal as the best value and more popular desitnations to work. Any other recommendations ?

Thinking about places to stay monthly mainly

Heard great things about Bulgaria

Not really a nomad hub but an affordable place I enjoyed in Eastern Europe was Sarajevo. Nice people, in the mountains, lots of history and different architecture. Although turkey ended up being my favorite country overall in that area

I’ll check it out. Can you keep the same number indefinitely?

Hey all,

Heading China for the Lunar New Year, any recommendations for places to visit in China?
I am looking for some indie developer community, I’d love to meet new people, explore and meet new friends!

Yea you can do long term rentals, you pay a little bit but not much, it’s worth it since it’s legit

yeah, this is the same thing they said 15 years ago (Lipid Peroxidation) when I got into Paleo. It makes a good story. The thing is, it just doesn't hold up in the body. I told people the same thing. Then I tried to find the studies, and they just don't confirm this. And I think you have a massive misunderstanding of how consensus works. Consensus isn't "because they said so". The consensus comes from the body of evidence.

I use Tello now. 7$ a month with a real number for sms and the benefit is it has wifi calling to many countries world wide so you can make phone calls with the included minutes using your mobile data from another traveling eSIM or WiFi 👌🏻

Bansko in Bulgaria is very affordable and quite a good few nomads there. Good nomad community run by Becky at Altspace coworking.

No group for El Salvador?

has anyone worked for a couple of weeks from Sri Lanka? any recommendations to stay there with reliable wifi?

Hey! Anyone here who does Social Media Marketing for German Companies? I need a good recommendation for a client of mine.

ahangama is pretty built up at this point - there’s a bunch of coworking spots. some live in some just day passes etc.

any recommends for luggage?
looking for something big, pretty and cheap

thanks a lot! will def. take a look on that

Big, durable, cheap. Pick 2

Cheap luggages tend to be ABS which always carries a risk of getting shattered in transit

Abs?

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, optimally you want polycarbonate

❄️Hey nomads, I rented last minute in march a chalet with sauna in France in the Grand Massif domain, 5 mins from the gondola
Let me know by DM if anybody wants to join for skiing / hiking / snow coliving

Swnd me messagw about this plugin

? I’m asking if there is one.

Hi, nomads.

I wanted to ask this question. For the past two years, I’ve constantly been running into the same problem. Wherever I travel, every time I look for either a hotel or Airbnb, I just can’t find a place - even for a relatively high price - that has a proper DESK where you can simply sit and work.

In 99% of cases, there’s either a small kitchen table or that table near the TV, like a mirror table where girls do their makeup. And on almost no website is there a “desk” filter. Am I the only one with this problem? If not, how do you deal with it? Maybe there are some websites more oriented toward digital nomads where at least there’s a proper filter?

Go to bangkok. I will recomend luxury condominium with awesome co working space

I’ve been to Bangkok. I had exactly the same problem there. That’s the thing. I don’t wanna work in a coworking space or a restaurant or café or something else.

Often these coworking spaces have really bad or unstable WiFi (had this issue 3-4 times in different condos)

I found its harder to find proper chair than table

try to look for colivings, they usually have better setup

I'm not sure if it exists in other places, but in Bali there's a service that delivers remote working setups (standing desks, chairs) for weekly or monthly rental. Not that I'm a fan of Bali, in contrary I hate the way it has become (the nomad hotspot, other areas are still nice).

If anyone is interested, here is a list of condos in Bangkok where I’ve stayed. Don’t go there if you need good Wi-Fi in a coworking space.

- XT HUAIKHWANG
- Cloud Thonglor-Phetchaburi
- Ideo Mobi Sukhumvit Eastpoint

Condos are great (especially the first one), but the Wi-Fi in the working space is terrible

where can you rent such condos on a monthly basis? only been using airbnb so far but there must be a cheaper site if you book directly no?

I used Airbnb

Can you show real rental prices of those condos?

This new telegram is rough! Any layout options anyone has found?

Other than the top left icon to split the channels again - still horrible - no.
