I am prepared. Still convinced we will not live to see such a thing as agi

I think financial incentive is so big, that humans will try to reach it as hard as possible

lncswlyakugkgbvp you always here my Bo guru.
you know what BO means in italy?

What a sad message

Just wanted to chime in here on a few things. I'm attempting to go down Bo's route, and one of the deciding factors is how difficult it is to find a regular job. I don't just need a job with a steady income... I need a job I can do anywhere in the world. As you probably all have seen, when the job market flipped from an employee's market to an employer's market, suddenly employers starting making demands like RTO. Having a few steady businesses actually seems more stable than relying on a job, which you could lose at any moment.

But on the other hand, I think it's way harder to succeed at entrepreneurship than at, say, a tech job. You need to know tech, but you also need to know marketing, graphic design, etc. Of course AI can help a lot but if you release AI slop, you have nothing to stand out from other AI slop. I think it's way easier.. even in today's job market.. to find a steady job working for someone else making $4k-$20k/month (wide range given due to different nationalities and skill sets) than to, say, scale a SaaS to a similar MRR.

To respond to Oli's comment about competing with ATS for job applications... 100% the way to go know is to apply through referrals / connections with insiders at a company. Assuming you actually have worked in your field before, reach out to all your former coworkers and ask for referrals where they're working now. I got my last job through a referral and if and when I get to the point I want a job again, that's how I'll find my next one.

rphzlyybofrvycon Savvynomad domain was created in the end of 2023. Please explain how you, in two years, supposedly made 1 million dollars per year selling Florida addresses at $55/month

I explained and shared the progress in public from the very beginning (including my previous failed startup), you can check all posts/videos (I can't post links here)

tldr: I’ve met my partner in Nomadlist slack in 2023. he started this business with a different name and had a 4 customers when I joined him to help with marketing (he is dev)

now, we have 1,016 active customers and 91.2K MRR, channels are: SEO, Google Ads and a bit of YT

build in public and my social media is not a marketing for my business. it is my way to build network and meet more founders

network also help solve problems and execute better. it helped me a lot of times to find specialists/agencies

Hi friends, I'm thinking of creating an health insurance pool of nomads, what this would mean:

Best insurance out there
Cheaper then reg insurance
A policy that also covers pre-existing conditions

We need at least 6-10 ppl for this, if ur intrested pls dm me or like this msg so i'd get back to you

❤️🙏

Hi guys! I'm looking to build a few backlinks on topics related to expatriation, taxation, freedom, and privacy. If anyone around here has a website or websites that would be a good fit and would like to earn a little extra haha, feel free to write to me 🙂

As much as I agree, you sadly will not find allies here. Being able to use such buzzwords while taking yourself seriously generally means that life did not start so difficult. There is something to be said about being humble

Hey everyone 👋
I wanted to chime in on the entrepreneur vs. 9-to-5 dilemma because I feel it deeply.
After many years as a marketer in corporate, I took the leap this year and co-founded a fintech startup with my technical co-founder. Coming from business and tech backgrounds respectively, neither of us was trained to be a “360-degree” entrepreneur — but somehow we’re the perfect complement to each other.
Joining the Pegasus program has been a game-changer — we’ve learned so much about the startup ecosystem, built an incredible network, and gained the confidence to keep pushing forward.
So a massive shoutout and huge respect to all of you on this wild entrepreneurial journey! 🚀
Keep going — you’re not alone in the trenches!
Cheers to building the future, one crazy day at a time 🥂

Im also trying to make a solo project work in order to avoid going back to ordinary employment. It’s undoubtedly hard and I am not going to say one can “just become an entrepreneur”. It took time to save up some runway and it is stressful living off of savings while building. That being said, I don’t think it’s as hard as some people would have you believe. It is possible, many people do, and you can be one of them. Some days are horrible, other days that first dollar is so close I can taste it :D. In the end, it really will never happen unless you try.

Happy for you Dan🥳 yea the journey is rough sometimes but the startup ecosystem is very resourceful and the network is eager to help! Accelerator program is a great starting point 👍🏻

Since I can't find the specific channel....
Anyone knows if the No-Work rule is enforced in the Maldives? Wanted to do some work on the laptop while there

Well make sure no goverment agents or police see your screen i guess

If they see an excel sheet, just say it’s your tinder rotation tracker

what’s the 2nd screen for in that case?

I wanted to read some experiences of El Salvador, but I'm not able to find a group here on NomadList Telegram. Is there one? Anyone been there?

where's the cuba chat?

This fellow Cuban would suggest not going to Cuba right now. It's in a dire situation. But.. I'd also like a Cuba chat 😁

I was there during the Bitcoin launch. Before during and after. What would you like to know?

So you did spend good amount of time there. Kool. See, there isn't even a group here on Nomadlist for it. You seem to agree that there's still stigma about this place, right?

How much of the perfect nomad day can you have there?
- Wake up
- Sunrise views exercise (run, yoga, whatever)
- Fancy yet healthy breakfast & work
- Hop to a nice lunch place & work
- It's sunset, work's done, go to the beach, order a fresh cold coconut, gaze at the warm colors, open up your laptop, because you had this idea for this one more thing
- Play some volleyball with people
- Nice dinner resto / gym / bar

So in essence, how does it compare to Bali : )

Honestly I'd go to Bali over El Salvador but only because of the food you can find there.

I'd def agree on El Salvador being extremely underrated with what you get for staying there. The world championship in surfing is held there and it's also where I learned to surf so holds a special place in my heart

I've been to Bali maybe 5 or 6 times since 2016 and it's changed a lot over the years. Can't tell from my own experience how El Salvador's changed over the years but I have good friends that I stayed with who told me it was way worse before the new president.

Thanks mate

Bali 52-50 El Salvador thats how I'd rate them

Oh wow, I didn't expect that.

So this is the perfect nomad day huh...? Mhhhhh 😁

Yeah

mwfotduop lol i'll be in Cuba tomorrow actually

Damn 🔥
I'm sure you have then read about the situation. Take a lot of mosquitos repellant and be safe man 🙏. That chikungunya virus is nasty. Even young people are having lasting issues (difficult walking, joint pain). Other than that... enjoy the amazing weather!!

Hey guys, I’m planning my first nomad trip around Southeast Asia. The idea is to spend 2–3 months at a time in different countries. My big question is: how do you usually sort accommodation? Do you go straight for a long-term rental, or do you book a hotel/Airbnb for a week first and then check places out in person before committing?

I need reliable, fast broadband for work, and my worry is ending up locked into a long-term stay somewhere that turns out to be a total shithole. Any advice from people who’ve done this before would be hugely appreciated.

Which country first and when?

From my own experience I let friends in the countries I was going back to know that I plan a long term stay they prepared an apartments for us.

If that's not an option do as you suggested with staying short term in Airbnb until you find something locally when you're there.

Thanks. Malaysia to start with followed by Singapore,Thailand and China. I think you are right, I will start with a short term and go from there.

Any recommendations where to stay in Mumbai? Is there a channel for India in here?

For those of you who are working/worked full time on your side projects, where would you base yourself out of from Feb to May?

CDMX, Medellín, and Buenos Aires keep coming up and I've been to all 3 but I don't know how it is for solopreneurs or if I should do SE Asia instead.

Rio de Janeiro, if you earn in dollars / euros and enjoy jolly locals...
Philippines, if you're short on money and enjoy delicious foods (and a simple life).

Haha. AFTER carnival for sure 🤪

Hello, fellow digital nomad!
I’m Charlotte, founder of Nomad Impact. I’m running this 100% pro bono, self-funded, because I truly believe our skills can add something positive to the DN community.

We connect NGOs and skilled volunteers worldwide, turning real needs into short, documented missions (comms, design, web, strategy, ops). It’s capacity-building, not saviourism: clear scope → measurable outcomes → training + handover docs so the work lives on locally.

I’m piloting in Chiang Mai (early Jan), then Cambodia—and I’d love to spark an international movement of skilled volunteering among nomads. Got 2–10 days of bandwidth? Or an NGO with one concrete need? Let’s chat or co-host a small meetup.

Official website : nomadimpact.org
App (beta) : nomadimpact.lovable.app
Questions : [email protected]
15-min intro call : calendly.com/nomadimpact

I hope this project grows with your help.
Questions? Ideas? Feel free to DM me or email [email protected]
—I’d love to hear from you.

It's Carnaval all year long in Rio though! 😹

Has anyone used third party websites for international drivers permit?
Are they reliable? As in, the document they issue: do police really accept it?
I saw someone claimed that only the official govt provided licenses will work and not these third party websites.

Never even heard about third party providers. And i would not think about using them in a Million years 😁 why not just get one from your government?

I have seen a few and I determined they must be ultimately false advertising. The international driving permit must be released by your country of residence. Whatever this services might release may be accepted by local police depending on whether they are “in on the joke”, but it’s definitely not the real thing.

Ok good point

Yeah. I don’t think one receives anything at all. But can’t say for sure.

yeah, I have seen a couple of websites which are popular, it seems. I am also skeptical, they could be scams.
Thats why I asked here, if someone had experience with any of them.

Asia is cool man !
You could do Vietnam / Thailand. I was there Feb / May and loved it.

Yeah agreed, just got 2 international permits here in Prague - one Geneve and one Vienna convention, they are valid for different countries

Anybody going to the nomad summit in Chiang Mai? (16-18th January, https://www.nomadsummit.com/host-your-side-event/)

Curious about this as well?

I've passed through CDMX and Medellín while working a remote job.

Just returned to Medellín a couple of weeks ago after a 1 year stint in PDC.

Currently building my own software consultancy and working some side projects.

I don’t know how active you guys are on YouTube, but recently I started attempting comedy skits, and made this digital nomad parody one lol

I was smiling throughout but you def got me at the end

Haha it was all improvised

Had a good laugh 🤣 as I’m German hit more of a nerve for me

Nope, it was shut down a year or two ago and moved here

Okay thanks!

Haha maybe next characters will be English and French 😆

Waiting for it! 🤣

I made a passport bro spoof one too but idk how I feel about it

Send it

hi, happy monday! i’m looking for a cheap city to stay around 1-3 months to lock in, starting march. i’m digging into Brazil or Thailand, but do you know other good options around? ty and have a nice week 😁

Hey man what does lock in mean to you? Hustling on the work side / enjoying life or both at the same time ?

hey Mino, thanks for the help! I’d like to focus on my side hustle mainly, and also have nature close by to rest and enjoy! is Rio good for working spaces and vibes? 😎

Vibes is a 10/10

Amazing experience tkvwfdkdzj
