My Experience as a Digital Nomad Working Remotely on My Business Over 3 Years in 7 Countries [video]
 

Living the life! I'd be doing it myself if I wasn't married, then again I'd probably be dead. Kudos for the self control, looking after your body, and seeing the world through local eyes.

Cliffnotes ?

Nice travelling! Will look at Costa Rica when i am back in South America.

Now travelling like that for 8 years, wish i started earlier :)
This year already went to:

- Jamaica (not a nice country)
- Thailand
- 1 month Cambodia
- Now in Vietnam since 2 months
- Will go to see the rest of Cambodia in 2 weeks
- Planning to see some friends in Thailand again in november/december
- Christmas probably Philippines or India till the summer starts in Europe.

Planning to buy a car and travel around Europe for 6 - 9 months next year.
As European haven't seen France, Italy and Portugal yet, will look there.

That was a mistake of me, not travelling earlier cause of a girlfriend.
The girlfriend isn't worth waiting for it, you will meet many many many many other, nicer, hornier, prettier girlfriends on the way if she doesn't want to go.
Better is to start alone, to explore things you wouldn't do if you have a girlfriend.

Local girlfriends are better to get around and see places no tourist comes. And learn the language in the same time.

Very nice video indeed!
I don’t blame you for ”starting at home” with going next doors to Mexico but it’s also very typical American to do so. Dare to look at Asia or Australia/New Zeeland - you will not be disappointed! :)

Thailand smaller Islands are nice....

Hopefully I'll make it to Asian next year.

i use text to voice as well

Fascinating

Maybe have a beer than :)

I always go some months to South America and than Asia for some months. Both are great and different. I wouldn't stay in Puerto Vallarta, Cancun or Playa del Carmen too long. I avoid places where are a lot of 2-3 week holiday makers. I prefer 'hippie/backpacker' style beaches before the tour groups start getting there. If there is an international airport within 2 hours, most places are ruined.
If you haven't visited it yet, Bahia part in Brazil is great and my favourite destination.

Australia's a great hub to start exploring Asia. Hong Kong at Christmas time is a blast! It's more Christmasy than most places in America and their robotic Christmas trees music show on the street is awesome!

I summed up 3 years in a 16 minute video.

Great video, my man.

Digital nomad life is the best.

No boss. No office politics. Total ownership of your life.

My only regret was I didn't travel around more before I settled down and had a family.

Every time I watch a Mark Wiens video, I get very jealous. I asked my wife if she's cool food travelling with me and I got that DEATH RAY LOOK.

Oh well, enjoy your freedom, my man!

Thanks, mce!

Great video and thanks for sharing. GFY could use more sexy shirtless guys :thumbsup

Respect to OP for his nomad lifestyle...I award him 100 pimp points...

Thanks!

*blush*

I will be leaving in the morning and working on the road "until further notice".... A short vacation with the wife down to San Diego, and then on Monday I'll be working in Hollywood at Cammunity. Then... being as I am down in SoCal... No hurry coming home.

What have you done to your southern soul..

New Orleans based here.. Can't recognize ya.

Im a mental nomad . . .

I am an all around YesMad :Oh crap

.

Nice video, pretty same I wish to do next year.
I subscribe your channel. :)

thanks for sharing, did you hear anything back about the cracked screen, i remeber you posting you were not going to chase it up?

I didn't file a claim or anything with the TSA. Perhaps I should have.

Whatsapp FTW!! :2 cents: :thumbsup

Hopefully I'll be back traveling to many more countries soon again!

Could you melt down just a little more?
I need more.

:1orglaugh

Awesome. Living the life of Riley.

I really don't understand why everyone uses audio recording clips in LATAM instead of text. I can understand if you're driving but it's usually not the case.

I am in Mexico and even staying in the city i said i wouldn't stay. Many many many many digital nomads here. Also many went to Dubai. Glad i didn't get locked up in Europe.

Mexico is the #1 destination for digital nomads.

I'm currently in León, Guanajuato

melt down?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Thanks Chris! I think we PM'ed when you and me were in Playa? I'm back in the US now. Back for 3 years but I'm ready to leave! The problems with the US are not just with Louisiana. I'm in Michigan and hate it here. It is very true, that life here is the same thing day in and day out, except that the complaints of the populace change over time. It's time to hit the road! 1 more month until my final vaccination.

Best of luck and stay safe!

I got trapped in the UK, Must admit I fucking miss nomadding.

Fo for it. Live your life :thumbsup

I'm a digital nomad in SEAsia since 1988... :thumbsup

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Been in England and Europe for over half of the past 12 years.
90 days in most countries, 180 in UK.

Now there's a dozen countries offering 12-month "Digital Nomad" Visas.
They want us to replace former Tourists who used to come for 2 weeks.

Amazing video, very inspirational. Once this pandemic is over, I'm thinking about moving to Portugal for a while. They've got a whole town specifically for digital nomads on Madeira, and a 10-year tax break for anyone who works remotely.

20% "holiday tax" is hardly attractive.

Make sure the "Holiday tax" bit is spoken in context of 12-month Digital Nomad Visas.

Great video! This is something I wish I had done in my 20s.

We visited Costa Rica in 2019 and fell in love with the country. Hoping to go back later this year. It's a dream/long term goal to move there in a few years.

Here's what I know, never heard of the holiday tax:
"Portugal issues a temporary resident visa for independent workers and entrepreneurs for a period of up to 5 years and tax breaks for up to 10. The main documents are proof of income from movable or immovable property, or intellectual property, or financial applications. Digital nomads can apply for a D7 visa after proving regular income. The monthly income must be higher than the national minimum wage (600€/month x 14 months). If you have dependent family members, this figure rises and you have to consider +50% for the wife and +30% for each child. Processing fees: 90 euros."

Basically, all you have to do is prove a location-independent ongoing income of over 600 EUR/month.

It's funny that this clearly states "dependent" would specifically be the wife... they could have used "spouse"... oh well.

As digital nomad better set up something in a flexible country so you are able to move to other countries without setting up a new company every time. For many Dutch people it is easier/cheaper to set up a Dutch company than to try something for example with a Estonian Digital Nomad Visa. Only if staying a few years in 1 place it could be interesting. But don't you want to live on a beach in Thailand some months. Or in Buenos Aires. In the end i mostly avoid digital nomads groups. Looks like they miss the office and all gather in a sort of office they than call co-workspace.

People now also can stay on Curacao for 6 months to 1 year as digital nomad. Not now, cause they advice to stay away and go away cause hospitals are full.

I might go to Curacao for some time when travelling keeps being a problem.

Thanks for sharing. I had no clue what it really was to be a digital nomad.

All beautiful places to visit and maybe live eventually (although Louisiana has hot teachers willing to try threesomes so it's not an easy decision :) )
