Hi there, I'm running 20 nomad chats this month — 30-minute conversations to understand what's actually hard about this lifestyle. If you're navigating visas, picking a home base, taxes, or just burnt out from constant moving, I'd like to hear what you&

Tenerife has plenty of stunning beaches. Yet, as I'm getting older, I start to appreciate being with trees even more. The pine forests of Corona Forestal create a unique microclimate. Milder temperatures, a fresh breeze, and this subtle sound you hear? It's not the ocean, it&
Las Teresitas beach brought me back to childhood. Golden sand, calm waters, and palm trees created the perfect backdrop for reflection. Tenerife's diversity amazes me every time. From volcanic black sand beaches to this artificial paradise made with Sahara sand in the 1970s. Each shore tells a different
Back in Puerto de la Cruz after two years, and honestly, it feels like coming home. This island keeps pulling me back for three reasons that make it perfect for the nomad life. First, the community. Reuniting with friends who feel like family, even after years apart. The warmth of
Rouen’s gothic spires pierce Normandy’s autumn sky as I stroll around in the local park. Today’s walk also crosses borders — I’m backing Planet Wild’s new push to shield Romania’s virgin forests. Rewilding feels legendary; supporting it feels right. 0:00 /2:58 1× Watch
Schönbrunn’s baroque gardens are stunning, but today the real highlight is reuniting with my nomad friend Marc Wieland. After podcast chats in five other countries, we’ve just ticked off our sixth—Austria! Marc left Switzerland the moment he heard I’d be in Vienna, proving once again that
Back on my home turf, crunching gravel in Silesian Park. Each step is a portal to childhood Saturdays—bike races, rollerblading crazes, and lying down in lush grass. Those weekends wired my compass toward shade, birdsong, and slow breaths among my Tall Green Friends. Today’s walk is a reflection
Strolling Warsaw's park, I talk about mastering 8-hour sleep hygiene amid global nomading. My first airport hotel layover between long-hauls? Game-changer for conquering jet lag and staying sharp. Throw in a clean diet, regular workouts, meditation, and yoga—it's my formula for peak

Dima Pashutskii — From Stationary Sysadmin to Nomad Software Engineer
September 8, 2026
Dima got fired from a Moscow office, taught himself to code, and left. His first freelance job paid five dollars for two days. We talk Upwork, why your postcode should not set your rate, and the twenty hour week he actually works.
eSIM & Wi-Fi — How to stay online in Thailand as a digital nomad
September 1, 2026
Wi-Fi is everywhere in Thailand. So I never bought a local eSIM. I roamed on a Malaysian plan for 11 USD and stayed online in cafes, the gym, our apartment. Here is what it cost me in speed, battery, and upload time.
John Ho — Coliving Founder Building a Nomad Friendly District in Chiang Mai
August 25, 2026
John Ho built Chiang Mai's first coliving, then admitted he had spent five years building bubbles for nomads. We talk culture, the Network School shutdown, and his blunt question: everyone says community matters, but will you actually pay for it?
8 weeks in cozy Chiang Mai Thailand
August 18, 2026
Three nomads told me to go. So we booked two months in Chiang Mai, mid-June to mid-August, dodging the burning season. We enjoyed khao soi, a five-story gym, and cute cafés in this nomad haven.
Ryan Li — Self-Taught Polyglot and Privacy-First Nomad in Asia
August 11, 2026
At nineteen, Ryan sold his car and flew to Japan with no plan. Twenty years and a dozen countries later, he speaks several Asian languages and runs his companies from Qubes OS. We talked identity, visas, and the bank account he closed on day one.
Using Thai QR PromptPay Payments as a digital nomad
August 4, 2026
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.
Buatong — climb like Spider-Man on Sticky Waterfall near Chiang Mai
July 28, 2026
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.
How to find accommodation as a nomad?
July 21, 2026
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.
