Nomading since 2005. I help colivings & travel tech brands reach digital nomads like me.
Join hundreds of digital nomads for recommendations, resources, and stories to enrich your journey around the globe.
To pay by QR in Thailand, I used a Malaysian app. That took a local SIM, a KYC check, and two conversions. Absurd, and still the best option I found. Here's the setup and what actually worked.
A waterfall you climb up, not swim in. Barefoot on limestone that grips like spider web. No slipping, no shivering, no water shoes needed. Ninety minutes from Chiang Mai, Buatong turned my morning into the strangest climb of my Thailand stay.
Accommodation doesn't have to be nomad's biggest expense. After years on the road, I cut my lodging costs in half without downgrading. Rooms, colivings, apartments, direct rentals. Here's my unconventional approach to a place to stay.
