Hey guys, just arrived to Berlin - what are some great laptop friendly cafes here?

Need some advice: I would love to come to Berlin and live at least 6 months and get a job in tech (I'm a dev). The issue is that I do not have a proof of income, having lived on previously earned savings for a while now. Where could I find a room to rent which is flexible for nomads with irregular income but is still budget. I can't use the fancy hostel co-living concepts, they are too expensive.

You could try to find something at: wg-gesucht.de

that's the site I looked at but 1) so many are run by anonymous companies 2) many require proof of income

Rosentaler Platz has a few options if I remember correctly.

St. Oberholz, Rosenthaler Str. 72A, 10119 Berlin.

I use to go there when I’m in Berlin

for wg-gesucht.de, are people usually comfortable renting out based on online / phone chat or is it expected that one would come to the place? Trying to see if I should spend a week in a hostel to find a place for a few months.

video call is ok sometimes for a month of stay, but for long time meeting in person is best (also for you)

Same. I got the last three Apartments via Video call but i payed only after i got the keys. For the last two i signed a Untermietervertrag for 4 month each.

ok. Thanks kxhzvzhiwy and frdrislunicwtf !

Anyone here who used the Freelancer Visa/Residence Permit?

Hi! Could anyone please recommend some hidden gems in Berlin for someone who’s already been there before? Spots that best capture the city's vibe.

Depends on what vibe you’re looking for 😬 I have lots of food recs

Oh, many thanks! I am inclined to rely on your taste, would be grateful for any recommendations

Go for a stroll around Museumsinsel on a warm, long summer evening. There’s also an outdoor theatre. Highly recommended.

Ran EUR → Thailand numbers today across 21 providers, EUR 860 sent.

The gap between the top and Deutsche Bank is about EUR 54, same
amount wired. Several options came in under 1% total : Revolut,
Wise, Airwallex among them. Deutsche Bank landed at 6.54%.

Anyone here routing EUR into Thailand got a setup you actually
trust? Wise, Revolut, something local, stablecoin?

Links in my bio if you want to check your own corridor.

just use wise or revolut

yeah that matches what i expected tbh

for normal amounts Wise/Revolut are probably the “least annoying” answer for most people

curious on the stablecoin route though, have you actually used that EUR → THB yourself?

if yes, which Thai exchange did you withdraw through, and was the hassle worth it after fees/spread/time?

hi guys, is anyone in Berlin right now? I am building niche SaaS, highly profitable and I could use some company while building (mentally,physically). Perhaps we can have co working sesssion, play some sports after work or go to nice techno/house clubs. Looking forward to connect! 🙂

Feel free to DM me directly or tag me, so that I see the message

Not in Berlin but if I was I would join you for coffee. You seem like a nice person! If anyone is in Berlin guys support and become his friend !

Hi Antonio, I have a circle of friends coworking every Friday at The Social Hub. We are SaaS people mostly. If you like, send me a dm and I’ll add you to our group ✌️

Hey All, I'm in Berlin now. I was an old time slack user of nomadlist but never moved over to telegram until now. Happy to meet at some point if there are others here, and discuss berlin nomad life!

Hi, anyone here at the Anthropic Founder House Event in Berlin, right now?

not aware of this, link?

Seems like it’s been quiet in here lately, but are people in Berlin these days? Would be willing to host a meetup next week if there was some interest

im around (based here)

Anyone going to Oktoberfest this year?

Hey Berlin friends, I’m hosting a meetup this Thursday, Aug 6 at 7pm at The Castle (pub at Nordbahnhof). Full disclosure, it’s in collaboration with Pangea’s travel community and their global meetup on that day, and we already have some good attendance. I don’t work for them, the community is completely free, and there will not be any sales/promotion at this event. Just a fun gathering of digital nomads and travellers and I would love to extend the invite to this community! Please let me know if you will attend so I can keep numbers updated and feel free to message with any questions.
