I have this dream scenario in my head, and I’ve searched for a while without figuring out how I might best achieve it. I don’t need many places, just one or two that I can go back to over and over again. I want to be working on my laptop while being surrounded by nature; for example a place right on the ocean where I can hear the waves crashing and look up and see them, then look back down and go back to work (but it would have to be very close by to achieve this feeling, not a distant sea view). In itself this might not be so hard but my total list of requirements makes it difficult: Fast internet: at least 20Mbps down with ethernet connection possible. Very close to emergency medical services: so not in the middle of nowhere, and ideally in/very close to a decent size town (I have some medical issues) Not more than £70/night to stay It doesn’t have to be a residence: it can also be a coworking space that meets all these requirements, and I can stay somewhere else and work at this space So far I thought of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: there seem to be some flats with a nice ocean view, although I’m not sure how close to the ocean they can get. And maybe also Valencia? Anyway, I’m not sure if anybody else has had this kind of dream as well. But I would very much appreciate any tips for places I can check out

Where can I go for remote working while surrounded by nature (ocean waves, mountain, etc)

Valencia doesn’t have this relaxing atmosphere I imagine you’d be looking for. I would go for a smaller town like Ericeira in Portugal or Tarifa and Jávea in Spain. Also, coliving spaces with sea views you can find https://hubfuerteventura.co/ or https://www.sun-desk.com/

In Jávea, we run a coliving spaces. It’s in the old town, close to the sea, but it’s not exactly with sea views. http://sun-and-co.com/

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help

Cape Town ticks all those boxs. I’m working from there now and you can absolutely find a nice Airbnb near the water (In a place like Simmons Town), much less than £70/night, great infrastructure (fibre optic/4g) etc. etc.

Koh Tao, Thailand. Tao Hub is the BEST coworking space I have ever been to. It is cheap to live in Koh Tao, there is beautiful hiking, the ocean, diving ect … Cannot recommend it enough.

If you’re up for heading to Vietnam, Hoi An is a great town right on the beach. This is my second time coming here and I love it - cheap rent ($450/month for a 4 bedroom house), delicious food, friendly people, and gorgeous nature. Internet isn’t too bad - I have a 20Mb fiber connection for about $10/month, and can upgrade to 60Mb for a few dollars more.

Of course SE Asia isn’t for everyone, but if you’re up for it it’s worth a try.

I have this dream too! I spent a month in Las Palmas a few years back at the Surf Office. Great being by the sea, still fairly urban in immediate vicinity until you head further afield.

Had been thinking of heading to Basque region for surfing but doesn’t seem like there’s much nomad-ing there.

Would love to hear other suggestions.

Come to Mammoth Lakes, California — if you feel like flying over here

We’ve got gigabit Internet in a coworking space called The Fort, as well as really fast Internet (250Mbps) in Stellar Brew and Black Velvet Coffee (I work in these most days). And as far as nature goes, right now summer is beginning so there’s tons of trails to run and hike, walls and boulders to climb, mountains to bike down, lakes to jump in, and great breweries to enjoy when you’re done with it all.

You could probably find an Airbnb here for $50-80 a night, and the hostel is around $30 a night if you want to do the cheap route. There are free busses around the town as well. The only hiccup is flying in here, which will add around $250 to your round trip: only Alaska Airlines flies in here in summer, so it’s a bit of a monopoly. In winter, we have more flights as well as the best ski resort in California.

What features would you like to see on Nomad List?

by @levelsio 4yr 4 years ago | 3 comments

Hi everyone,

I would love to hear what you'd like me to build next on Nomad List, or any other product/feature feedback ideas you have.

It's been 6+ years now but I'm in this for the long term and with the boost remote work got last year it's even more exciting to work on Nomad List than ever.

Current roadmap is here: twitter.com/levelsio/status/1363204985488572417?s=20 and pbs.twimg.com/media/EusS9PKXEAUR8xp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

The next products/features I have planned:

- 🛂 Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers

- 🎓Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate

- 🏛 Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers

Thanks a lot!

Most Walkable Neighborhood / City In The World ?

by @dannybooboo 4yr 4 years ago | 1 comment

I love living in walkable areas of town. I can always find them. But now I'm wondering where in the world are the most walkable places? I'm imagining walk streets (no cars), zoning allowing both business and residential, parks or beaches ,etc.

Any nomads in Arizona, US?

in Netherlands by @info132 4yr 4 years ago | 4 comments

Hi guys,

After the Netherlands, the Bay Area, Colorado and being on the van life for 8 months, I am now in Sedona, AZ with a few other digital nomads. We are sharing a home here and are wondering if there are more like minded people in the area.

We do a bunch of hikes and campouts in the northern of Arizona. If you would like to connect with us, please do so :)

Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of?

in Germany by @clara 4yr 4 years ago | 0 comments

Hi everybody. I live and work in Germany and want to go to Canary Islands for 6 months to work from there. I'm going to keep my current job, just change the "home" in the home office part of things. Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of? I was reading about becoming a residence after 183 days, thus having to pay taxes there plus my employer having to register there. Does anybody know how it works exactly? Thanks a lot!

Anyone up to explore some city which is kinda virus safe?

in Bangkok , Thailand by @germanrobert 4yr 4 years ago | 2 comments

Hello World!

I'm an experienced Digital Nomad and after being in Lockdown in Bangkok and Germany for one year I would like to team up with someone to visit a new place. Or just doing some exchange about what destinations would be interesting currently.

I take the virus seriously and still I think we can still be able to take our life in our own hands. So I'm aiming for cities/countries which are not in full lockdown, are not too complicated about immigration (I'm looking at you Thailand, your state quarantine costs like 1k USD and is basically a prison) and is also rather safe regarding the virus. I tend to stick for rather big cities and like culture. I'm not a beach or nature person. I'm pretty flexible about the money topic.

How to find accomodation in Las Palmas, Canary Islands

If you're American but live in Guatemala, do you still count as American for travel purposes?

in Guatemala by @chasindreams 4yr 4 years ago | 0 comments

What I mean is, for example, since most of the EU has banned Americans, if I live in Guatemala and will be traveling FROM Guatemala to the EU, could I get in? Or does the ban count for all Americans regardless of where they live?

Are co-working spaces a good way to meet people in a new city?

by @donaldbough 4yr 4 years ago | 1 comment

My fiancée and I are most likely moving to NYC (maybe DC) in August, and as a technical startup co-founder I'd love to meet new people that are also into startups. Would joining a co-working space be worth the money to do this?

I work for a big tech company that has an office in NYC, but it's mainly sales so I wouldn't be able to meet others that are related to any of my 9-5 work or likely into tech.

If co-working spaces, post covid of course, aren't a good way to meet business starting people in a new city, what is?

Is there a map of countries open for travel now?

in Russia by @vernon99 4yr 4 years ago | 8 comments

I have two passports from different countries and am trying to understand where can I travel now. Is there a publicly available map of countries open for visitors by passport country that I can use to see what are my options? I was pretty sure such a thing should exist, but cannot easily find any.

Maybe at least there're maps for specific passports? Mine are Russian and American.

If there's no such thing, I'd be down to build one, let me know if interested to collaborate :)
