    Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

    @gigigriffis: "Just a quick fun note to let you know that you have another Nomads.com romance success story. I met my current boyfriend at a meetup I set up through you guys."
    @josh_works: "My wife and I are in Buenos Aires right now. Starting this whole nomad thing felt 100x easier once I joined Nomads.com and saw other people just... doing it."
    @melissawashin: "I gave my two weeks notice last week, and I'm flying to Portugal in two weeks. It's important to say (for the ninth time) that joining Nomads.com was the best decision I made to best inform and prepare myself for this decision. So thank you a million times over!"
    @zackyoung: "You're going to be lonely sometimes and that's okay. One way I combat this is by being a part of Nomads.com and meet up with other remote workers."
