Hi Vanessa, Iām new to too and I just opened a free bank account with N26. Itās a popular choice for nomads in Europe. Setting it up was really simple, they needed pictures from the front and back of my ID card and one utility bill. Within an hour I had access to my brand new bank account in Germany. You can use it as is for making bank transfers (they have apps for e-banking) or you can add a free Mastercard debit card if you have an address to receive it. You can also add a Curve card which is a different provider but adds other benefits. Thereās an article about Curve on this website.

Hello my name is clement,
Iām French, 38 and left my management position in an office work mid July 2018 to began a nomadic life.
I just passed my Padi Diving Instructor diploma in Philippines in December 2018.
I plan to start an online business and invest in high potential online companies.
Great to see all the tips for travelers.
I already answered most of the questions by myself before living France this summer. I wish I found this community earlier.

Iām william. Tired of being rooted again. Want to travel again, see new places, and live with less. Been happy being married, and hope to stay that way, but miss my freedom. Want to convince her that the freedom is better than the stability that she thinks we have. Reality is, we arenāt that stable financially, and are slaves to our bosses. Looking for ideas on a way outā

Hello!
Iām from the US but enjoy living somewhat nomadically, 
largely in Europe. Iām a freelancer and I was particularly drawn to NomadGate because of the wonderfully thorough information here about Portugal and their Golden Visa program.
Thanks!

Hello, everyone!
I grew up outside Chicago and am fortunate that my dad is an airline pilot - I caught the travel bug very young. I just started working for a fully-remote company so I am considering going nomadic. Some of my favorite places are:
- New York
(where I currently live) - Bali
- Chiang Mai
- Berlin
- Mexico City
Hoping to find some help on this forum for all the questions I have about nomadic life (and the many questions which will pop up in the future!). Especially concerned about social life / making friends while living around the world.
Thanks!
Evan

Hi there! Iām Ritch from England but have been living anywhere but that island last couple years. Staying in central or south Europe and sometimes Asia, working as an editor and brand management consultant. My favorite places are Greece, Vienna, and Vietnam - each one of them for a different reason as you can probably imagineā¦ 
The one book that is always laying somewhere around my night table is āThe art of thinking clearlyā which is a nice collection of reminders of how we are continually being tricked by ourselves.

Hello. I am Miyako. I was brought up in quiet North East Japan near rice farm community. Past 20 years I have been living in San Francisco. I am an accountant. To balance my conservative job, it is almost a requirement for me to go for live music or dance. 60ās garage/psych rock/Jazz/kraut rock/house/soul/funk and occasional punk rock are cup of my tea. I have not been traveling so much because of my job. Hampi in India, Kauai island and Santa Fe in New Mexico are my top places. I place heavy value in spirituality. I subconsciously seek spiritual connection with people, places, music, food, culture, food and many more things that I cross path. I am very happy to find this community to explore my options abroad. I am planning to buy a property in Porto, Portugal in next few months and see what unveils in front of me. I will need pick everyoneās brain to make this happen. I saw few posting from people who are interested in moving or buying properties in Portugal. I would love to connect with all of you with any information you have and I will love to share useful information to others. If anyone has questions about Japan, I may be able to help. Cheers!!
