Heya!
I have to be in Dubai by end of the month to finish the formation of my company and residency etc. Iโve stayed at hotels earlier, but that sounds pretty impractical considering I will be living there nearly for a month.
Anyone got any tips about renting a short-stay apartment for a month? Maybe even a few leads?
What about living in Dubai? I will be working hard, but I donโt want to be bored out of my mind. Places I can hang out, things I can do?
Please share 
Thanks, I found that finding hotel apartments (they have a kitchenette) was cheaper than renting from Dubizzle or from Airbnb. I rented there for some days
Intend to live in different hotel apartments around different places in Dubai. Spend a few days in each.
Thanks for the tip about Whatโs on. I might visit a couple of attractions.
Mostly, I want to hang out at a nice informal cafe in the evenings, sip coffee, eat a veg sandwich and work.
Iโve been told JBR could be a nice place for that sort of thing.
Other than Airbnb, your best bet for short term renting is dubizzle . com
In terms of things to do - the entertainer app is great for finding great deals on dining and other activities. You do have to pay for it but I do remember there being a free trial period.
whatson . ae /dubai/ also a great resource for finding out whatโs happening in Dubai.

Hello Everyone
I'm planning to stay in Seville for 6 weeks for mid January - end of February. Do you any recommandations for a coliving or a place to live in?
Thanks ๐
We are hoping to become nomads soon and have booked an AirBnB in September in Goa for our first destination. We are considering what would be the best option for accommodation after that. We are trying to decide between co-living spaces, hostels, or Airbnbs.
What are your experiences of accommodation in terms of the following: reliable wifi, social aspect, pricing, cleanliness, cooking facilities?
Iโm a big believer in co-living but Iโm finding hard to find all the options available in different cities.
I have found the major players like Roam, The Collective, and WeLive but havenโt found many others.
Has anyone seen a list or should I start making one?

Iโm looking for a monthly rental in Barcelona. Iโm only planning to stay 1 or 2 months.
Thanks!
Hi nomads, Iโm in Hawaii for a couple months and wondered what the best co-working or co-living spaces were on the islands and why? Preferably near surf spots and also easy to meet some other DNs.
Iโd like to get into conversations with other agency owners with employees, or even create a mastermind group and share experiences around questions like:
Anyone interested? Thanks!
I really thought this had already been asked on here but couldnโt find anything specific. Apologies if it has been asked before and a link would be greatly appreciated. Iโm a US citizen and if I have a residence permit for one Western European country that states I only have to live in the country for 6 months out of the year can I live in another European country for the other 6 months. I plan on EU country hoping every other 6 months to avoid becoming a resident of more than one country.
Is anyone doing this now?
Hi everybody,
We are at the beginning of a very interesting journey to eventually establish work spaces and accommodation in Panama.
But before we start, weโd love to figure out how Panama is perceived by you, US time zone and currency are any advantages ? Would you prefer more urbanic or beachfront locations ?
All feedback will be highly appreciated.
Cheers =)
I am strongly considering ditching SEA for East Africa this summer. I just doing the cost analysis, but I am not sure how much food, drink and neccessities will be per month in Nairobi (and Kenya in general). Has anyone been lately who could advise?
My cost analysis so far is:
Flight - ยฃ350 (from Europe one way)
Visa - ยฃ35
Accom - ยฃ250 (airbnb)
Co-working space - ยฃ110
Gym - no idea?!
Food, drink, entertainment - ???!!!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi all,
For Jan through March Iโm looking for a place that as a) friendly people, b) warm climate, c) surfing, and d) reliable internet (either in cafes or a coworking space).
So far, this is my short list:
If anyone has some good info on this, please share! : )
Toying with the idea of renting a house with other nomads in Las Palmas between Oct 15th - Dec 18th. If youโre interested, please PM me with your email address, budget and dates.
Hi guys,
Iโve been traveling for awhile now and lately Iโve been dreaming of heading back to Canada for the 2016/17 winter season (Dec-Mar?). Namely of spending a ski season in Nelson, BC, a mountain town I lived in a few years ago.
Nelson, BC is known for the most amazing powder. The small resort at Whitewater is very accessible (about 20 minutes outside of town) and in close proximity to slack and backcountry skiing. Nelson is also located near the Powder Highway and is accessible to a lot of other well known powder spots.
Have you ever dreamed of being a โski bumโ for a season? Of skiing in the morning and working in the afternoon? Of attempting a co living experiment with other working, professional type nomads who share your passion and lifestyle?
What I know about co living I have learned from research around co working and it seems like the next logical step (to me). Have you heard of 20Mission in San Francisco? Or one of the other co living proposals in this forum? The experiment part is to see who would commit and what amazing projects and ideas might come out of such a space. In my experience, when I travel, there is something missing out of the places I stay. Either I get lonely or distracted by holiday makers and other travellers. I sometimes struggle to find a work space where I feel productive as well as engaged and would like to explore this as a solution. Work AND ski everyday? Be creative and productive where I live? Sounds pretty close to living the dream to me.
Some extras about Nelson:
Think white winter. Silence, snow covered trees and streets. Fireplace.
There are hot springs close by.
This is no ordinary small town, thereโs a very diverse population.
This town is an organic, clean living mecca, or the opposite if thatโs what you seek.
There are many opportunities to engage in the community, be it volunteering, participating in clubs or groups.
Thinking about it, I would put down three requirements;
Desire to ski
Working nomad
Long(ish) term stay (eg: a month?)
The idea is to rent a house with a group of committed individuals and see what happens. Will a type of community be fostered and emerge? How can we co-create it?
If I have piqued your interested and you want to join me, learn more or keep in touch, let me know. This post is meant to give me an idea of whether there is any interest in this idea.
Iโm building a longer-term base in Calcutta, India, and was wondering what digital nomads would think of renting a room here, or what theyโd consider a fair rent.
Quick overview:
Newly renovated, ground floor, in a nice residential neighborhood (Salt Lake), a ten minute walk to the City Center mall. Restaurants, pharmacies, public transportation, etc are all within a five minute walk.
Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, fancy shower stall, nice patio with hammocks and bean bags. AC in the study and bedrooms.
The study has high speed internet access with redundant internet lines (the main line is an actual physical DSL connection, not cellular, extremely reliable, goes down for a few hours maybe once every three years), extra network storage if you need to backup or dump large files, and there are a couple of raspberry pis around if youโre a techie and want to make something while youโre bored.
New paint, new tiles, new electrical wiring, granite bookshelves; the entire apartment was rebuilt (everything from the floor tiles up) this month.
The downside, of course, is that Calcutta is very far off the digital nomad path Assuming anyoneโs interested in seeing this side of the country, what would a reasonable rent be for someone sharing the apartment with me in a private bedroom? I suspect I could make the place work at $250/month.
What else would you like included or available as an option? Food (Iโd normally recommend against this; food in Calcutta is cheap and amazing), tours, travel in this part of India, other stuff I havenโt thought of yet?
Thanks! All ideas welcome. Iโve been toying with the idea of making this a space more friendly to digital nomads since I started the renovation, so I figured itโs time to start vetting the idea.
I currently live in California, and work remotely for a company in Philly. I am considering moving to CZ but keep my job here, get paid here, and pay taxes here. I am dual citizen of USA and Poland (EU member), so I know that residency wonโt be a problem, but I am interested in paying taxes. If my company keeps paying me to my account in USA, and taxes in California, do I have to pay taxes is CZ as well? This company doesnโt have a post in CZ.
If you are living and working out of Thailand (UTC+07:00) but work with people in the New York EST (UTC-05:00) Time Zone, how do you deal / handle the time difference and still be able to enjoy or make the most of the experience without turning into a tired night owl zombie?
Better yet, what do you find to be the benefits / drawbacks of having to work on such a schedule? (specially in Thailand)
Any advice from those who have done it for a long time? (2+ months)
Thanks,
Will
Iโve been traveling for over a year, and Iโve been working on 3 month contracts in locations abroad to sustain travel. I wanted to see what the community was like as far as digital nomads go. Are you trading your skills for $$$? and if so, how are you doing it?
(Iโve also wanted to try this, but havenโt been to successful.)
Iโm thinking about living fulltime in an RV mostly in the US and North America. Is this still part of the digital nomad community? Is there anyone who has tried this? Pros? Cons? Thanks!
Hi,
I have a property in the UK that collects rental money to a UK account. I moved recently to Fiji and have residency in Fiji now. I wonder if I need to pay taxes on the property in the UK or if there is a structure I can set up that avoids the tax legally? or does anybody now who to go to for advice?
Hey,
Does anyone have experience with coliving? Is this lifestyle reserved for us sad and lonely nomads or is it intentional communities 2.0?
I see it as the next generation of coworking and have been thinking that it is a feasible solution for me. Iโm wondering if there are any success or nightmare stories out there?
Ours is a transient, spontaneous at times, existence. What physical/geographical community can we build in this space? Is that important?
