I see that some companies do this, they pay the remote worker based on where he lives, I would like to know what do you think about this?

Eager to find out what age most start out as a DN? (Me)โฆ 27 and just started out in the last 6 months or so. Not presently 100% location independent, probably more like 90% as still required to visit the office from time to time
It seems to be taking me days to plan my next trip. Its so complicated and seems to be a domino affect. Example: Iโm in Dubrovnik and want to go to Bari, Italy next because it is close, and I can get there by ferry, (so not using so much carbon,) but the ferry only starts running in April and 90-day visa is up on March 15, so I need to move on. Cheapest flight out is to Rome, but Rome can be pricey and Iโm more of a small town person, so I go looking for beautiful small towns in Italy, a BIG research project. Then how to get there?.. oy! I need a system, please!
Iโd like to invite nomad entrepreneurs in this topic to discuss what are the challenges you face in filing taxes, insurance and banking complications, while travelling and running your business remotely.
Please share your thoughts! I would be happy to help!
Anyone been to some nice spots for surfing that have fast internet and coworking offices in SEA?
Hello, Iโm a nomad based in Asia, but recently incorporated in Wyoming. Does anyone use a mail forwarding service with a Wyoming street address that you would recommend?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the annual base salary for a full time junior to mid designer would be in either Frankfurt(Main) or Hamburg, Germany.
Thanks,
Natalia!
I am an Italian citizen currently living in Italy. I am starting to work as a freelancer and want to open a company in order to invoice the client.
Besides that, I also want to move my main residence away from Italy for multiple reasons.
In which countries should I place my company and/or residence so that the combination of both would be beneficial for me (cost and taxwise)?
Goal would be to rent an apartment and actually move (preferably in Europe), and from there travel as a digital nomad.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows an answer to this?
For some of us maintaining a US Based Bank is just a necessity. Either we never pick up residency abroad, or have a US based business for which a US based account makes life easy.
Purely online personal banking is a growing trend. Schwab has a great checking account that reimburses ATM fees and has no international fees, Simple is a new online only bank with tons of great features (though not so great for nomads abroad).
Anyone know of similar services for small business online?
Features Iโm looking for:
I just came across https://stripe.com/atlas and what they offer sounds too good to be true.
Has anyone used these services?
If yes, how was your experience? any cons?
Their claims are pretty high:
Atlas helps you incorporate a U.S. Delaware company in a couple of days. You just fill out a simple form; we generate the necessary paperwork and handle the rest.

Hi nomads,
I and my husband are graphic designers and we work from home mainly doing services for UK. We have personal bank account in UK as we lived there for a while and we use it to receive payments and then use transferwise, but we are worried because we have no company there to declare these payments.
We are at the moment in Malta but moving to Portugal soon and we really would like to make the things right to avoid problems but also we need avoid pay lots of taxโฆ I am researching a lot but not sure what to do. Would be very good to have a bit of advice to what way to go, where is the best country to open an offshore business for exemple?
We earn together about 25k euro year (brut).
Any advice or tip would be very welcome.
Thanks!
Hi,
Do nomads like to travel together? I mean, not in each otherโs pockets, but look for accomodation together, meet with each other daily or regularly, help out in new cities, motivate/inspire each other in the business? Iโve done nomad lifestyle in the past in 2009/2014 and this time I want to collaborate and support with other people, each on their own mission. I love this nomad endeavour but to be honest I admit it can be quite time-consuming and lonely.
*Message on NomadList locations?
*Message on Couchsurfing groups? (without sounding like Tinder!)
*Message on other??
Iโm currently in Portugal and heading back to Estonia for January/February (Iโm from Australia). Later in 2017 I am open to places, though Iโm not keen on high pollution, high humidity, high cost cities.
Feedback, interest or ideas welcome!
Thanks, Madeline
When I think about nomadic life style I often think of one disadvantage, not being able to continue to practice Krav Maga as I do now. How do you keep up with training and progress if you are constantly moving?
Out of the 3 Areas which would be most beneficial for a foreigner moving to SK?
(If you have experience with areas specifically Iโd love to discuss the specific schools that are offering her a position - Not posting that here for obvious reasons.)
My Girlfriend has received 3 contract offers in Seoul/Surrounding area:

Hey nomads,
Iโm looking for the best location to incorporate my online business (offshore programming and so on).
The main requirements:
Iโm only one owner of the company (not EU/US resident).
Iโve checked jurisdictions like BVI/Belize/Nevis and iโm interested in it. It would be appreciated if you could give me some kind of advice, if you have experience with one of these jurisdictions.
My budget for incorporation < $1500
Thanks!
Iโm a New Zealander just starting to do some remote contracting.
The nature of the work will be a more specialised version of my previous full time job. Initially, my goal is to rapidly up-skill and learn best practice by working for an industry leader. I also intend to build a business locally with a slightly different angle. Iโve just come back from 9 months travelling, so Iโm not in a massive rush to hit the road again, but long term I want to have the option to consult abroad.
I am in discussion with a Canadian company who is hiring. Their job advertisement states that they offer freelancer/contractor work at 20-40 hours a week, and full-time employees 40 hours a week.
If I have the option between these two, which should I choose?
Some things going around in my head:
Note that I donโt have the offer yet, but given my experience to date I think have good potential.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi folks,
I am going to Koh Lanta for 10 days and would love you to share some of your experiences with Koh Lanta-based Scuba Diving Centres, and suggest which one(s) to go with.
Hi Nomads,
Iโve been traveling Europe with my gf and visiting a new place every month for about 9 months. Picking AirBNBโs and rentals has been hard for a variety of reasons. One is not knowing how close the rental will be relative to the places we want to visit.
So we made this app: Distance Score: Prague. Right now it is just featuring Prague, but Iโm curious to get your thoughts on other cities youโd like to see, as well as general feedback.
