Medical crises don't wait for convenient timing. I learned this the hard way. Here's what works: keep digital copies of prescriptions and insurance cards in encrypted cloud storage. Register with your embassy. Have a local emergency number list saved offline. Most importantly, stay in touch of
The biggest mistake digital nomads make is treating trip planning like a vacation itinerary. You need a system that accounts for visa runs, tax residency, banking requirements, and flight logistics. I learned this while acquiring Portuguese residency, running LTD in the UK, while hopping around Asia. Now I map routes

Revolut got MiCA license. Crypto on the app now has EU protection standards. No more intermediaries, just direct transactions with Revolut.

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

Why I switched from Gmail to Proton Mail to iCloud Mail?
June 21, 2024
I value privacy and was delighted to discover Proton Mail. Their solution sounded like a wonderful counterpoint to the dominance of Gmail and other ad-driven services. Once I read books about surveillance capitalism, I knew that I wanted to protect my data and experience what it means to use the
