Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA 
My husband and I are in the midst of planning to move to SĆ£o Miguel, Azores, Portugal 
My parents retired to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico 
in 1996, so I know you can do it, and do it well.
When we went to the Azores for the first time, we had no clue where it was. It was an affordable trip, booked it and never looked back. We just fell in love with it. Decided, then and there to move.
We have traveled at least 3 times a year internationally since 1997, when we met.

Hi
I am Jakes from South Africa and we(my wife and I)are in the process of moving to Portugal(over the course of the next 2 years) which we will make our home base and travel Europe and Eastern Europe.
It seems a lot of Nomads posting here have got fancy careers like IT, Developing products and ideas, writing books and columns, lecturing etc.
We are both retiring from our joint business of selling timber. Just normal sales people. Our son will be taking over the running of the business and we will be trying to source stock from European countries whilst enjoying our travels. We trade in Used Railway Sleepers , supplying nurseries, landscapers, furniture makers etc. Unfortunately our sources in Africa have practically dried up.
Normally the rail construction people in Europe just stack all the old used timber in their yards, not really knowing what to do with it. It will be our challenge and exciting project to find these storage places and talk business on our trips.
My favourite places to visit are Crakow in Poland, Hoi An in Vietnam and
Swakopmundt in Namibia. Snorkeling in Eilat in the Gulf of Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh(Egypt) was also exceptional
Finally if any of the Nomad Gate community come across any of these timber storage places, please reply here.
Looking forward to chat with all the Nomads.

Hi Nomads!
I am Deon Oberholzer from South Africa and has been a nomad at heart all my life. Will be taking up a position in Papua New Guinea soon and have been looking around for information on the following:
- Best medical/travel insurance for that neck of the woods
- Best banking arrangement to keep my earnings offshore
- Any other practical advice on living in PNG - Mt Hagen to be more precise.
On the road againā¦
Cheers!

Hey Everyone,
My name is Michael and I am a Russian -Canadian living in Austria. I was born in Moscow, moved to Toronto when I was young and then to Vienna for university, where I met my wife and started a family. I studied international business administration and worked in international sales for several years, working with the UN and delivering humanitarian aid to over 120 countries all over the world. Now I have my own short-term rental business for tourists in Vienna and I work with an Estonian company as the head of marketing and PR . I travel to Tallinn periodically, otherwise I work remotely.
I joined NomadGate because the company I work for, Blockhive, recently launched a project geared to entrepreneurs and digitally-inclined business people. The project is an eResidency services provider and we hope to be able to educate and provide assistance for anyone interested in obtaining eResidency status (helping with bank account opening, taxes, legal address, etc. Other than that, we also provide blockchain-based financing technology for business people looking to raise funds for their projects /companies.
In short, I really connected with the company philosophy and hope that NomadGate will be a place for an exchange of value and awesome conversations for all of us, personally and professionally. Feel free to reach out!
Cheers, Michael

Hello! My name is Bailey Iāll call myself a seasoned amateur nomad? Haha not quite a veteran and always learning. My trips have usually lasted about 3 months to various locations. Some for just travels, some studying, etc. Iām searching for a bit of clarity and a bit of adventure. My current life is in Phuket, Thailand. Iāll be here for another month and then headed back to the states for a week, then continuing into Central and South America. I love abstract painting, philosophy, psychology, observing humanity, and learning about the stars. Thanks for the welcome! Iām excited to expand my knowledge and tools for travel. Also - my most current interest has been a podcast called the End of the World with Josh Clark. Check it outā¦ itās devastation and beauty mashed together.

HI Kareem
what kind of Software development are you doing and how is it working with the remote company ?
I will start doing remote working in a month but will probably also go back to the office every 3 weeks.
Cheers
Hi Mark,
I do full stack web developmentā¦I work with a diverse stack mostly made up of node and ruby on the backend, reactjs and emberjs on the frontend. Also do a bit of elixir and phoenix. Working remote is great! I love it! A plus for me is that everyone in the company is remote, its a bit different from having some in a central office. What about you? What do you do?
best,
Kareem

Hi everyone, Iām a brand-new member of this community. 
My name is Mariska and Iām currently in Vancouver, Canada. Not quite a nomad yet, but getting ready to lift my roots and start travelling and teaching around the world. 
Am originally from Holland, so am sure Iāll spend quite a bit of time there, as well as in warmer parts of the world. 
I am a Behavioural Money Coach, and in case you donāt know what that meansā¦ I help people understand their subconsicous relationship to money, money stress etc. Itās about the psychology of money, rather than just the numbers. 
I running workshops, travelling, dogs 
sunshine, wine 
and cooking 
Lolā¦ boy itās hard to bring in so many emojiās. 
Anyway, the book Iād highly recommend is called Money Magic, by Deborah Price. Donāt worry, itās not a boring bookā¦
Looking forward to getting to know some of you and getting ideas on how to best be a nomad.
