Hi, I am a new member of Nomadgate. No need to introduce about Brexit, this is the reason I found this web site. Friends and my family are considering to get a second home in Portugal, like most of you I guess (except the āBXā part!).
Thomas has made a wonderful and informative web site about GV Portugal, and makes my life much easier to find necessary information I need. Well done Thomas.

Hi Every Body!
Iām French, and getting ready for a nomadic life now that iām retiring from teaching and getting rid of most of my ābelongingsā, excepting my bikes. Iām a cycling freak, have been for quite a number of years now. Iāve grown into a crazy gravel/mountain bike-packer and love taking on challenges like the French Divide, or Act-5, or in a few months the Bohemia Divide. My favourite reads are blogs like Tales on Tyres or epic bikepacking tales like the ones found in the Bikepacking Journal. On a more classical level, i love all Shakespeareās plays, he knew it allā¦the world in a brilliantly poetic nutshell. Iām planning to create a business to empower women, especially those who think theyā're too old, or too unsporty, or not deserving enough, or too stupid, or whatever, through discovering unsupported long distance bikepacking in the Alps, or wherever! Thereāll be news about this on my blog PĆ©rĆ©grinations in the weeks or months to come. End of the year, Iāll be in Australia, then New Zealand, donāt know yet for how long. And before that I will have spent several weeks in Costa Rica. Wow, that was long, sorry guys!..One more thing though: thanks a lot TKRunning for that awesome Nomadic space youāre gifting us with! Love it.
Hi there!!
Im Spanish, but since 9 years ago Im not living in Spain. Im totally a Nomad and in this moment Im in Venezuela. I arrived here one year ago and every day is worst, anyway, In Venezuela, If you know how, when and where you can ear money with import/export but the quality of the life is not so good. Life here is not cheap, Europe countries are cheaper than Venezuela so probably I will go to another country, Poland probably with PEPE, my dog.
I love surfing, traveling and dog (my dog).
If I can help someone Im ready for it.
Thanks mates!
Hello, my name is Tia and I am not 
a digital nomad 
. I was introduced to this site by a friend that knows how I like to āfacilitateā things for people.(all kinds of things 
) I am from the US 
originally and currently live and work in MEXICO. 
I moved here years ago because of the economic opportunity to benefit from the Baby Boomer 
retirement community. However, with the advancement in technology 
and fiber optics being upgraded here in Mexico 
there are a number of digital nomads choosing my area next to the 
to take up residence or to vacation. Rent rooms, houses, bungalows along the 
.
My intent in joining this community is to educate 
myself on what the Digital Nomads want and need to be successful. If I can facilitate providing services 
to local or even short or long term housing 
to the growing community I may be able to help local people here on the Pacific Coast of MĆ©xico to earn income by providing affordable alternatives.
I hope that I did not overstep 
any boundaries 
in asking to join the community. I love to educate myself on the ānot so ordinaryā 
opportunities to connect people to what they want.
I come from a high volume customer service management background, in the grocery, legal cannabis, coffee, and building industries. I tear down and then build back up systems, operations, policies, and procedures to create a better functioning small business. -Coffee 
and all things artesenal 
are my passions.
I personally enjoy surfishing, 
off-shore fishing, hiking 
, community engagement 
, green projects 
as they affect my new countryĀ“s biodeversity 
, and small business development 
I am full of questions.
Jeanine here! Retired 
from US based corporation a year and a half ago with the intent of spending significant time abroad. Spend much time in 
researching family roots. Looking forward to future adventures of hiking 
and biking 
in Europe and wherever life take me!
Hi everyone! This is Daniel, a programmer from China, 25yo. I ran my own blockchain startup in 2018 in Hangzhou China, and now about to participate in a PhD program for the next years, possibly in US. Hereās my blog containing a little bit geeky stuff:
nerddan.github.io
Programmer is a nomad friendly vocation. But China is not a nomad friendly nationality. Iāve been dreaming of becoming a world wanderer for long and planning to do so. After my PhD years Iāll start my life as a world citizen. Maybe Iāll start with a new passport. Actually Iāve addressed my first step with an Estonia e-resident application!

Books Iād recommend:
Tolerance, Hendrik Willem Van Loon

Les miserables, Victor Hugo
Three body, Liu Cixin

Hi everyone. I am Giovanni, a scuba and freediving instructor from italy, currently based in Malaysia. I travel a lot for work, and I face all the challenges connected with that, so I am here to share ideas about how to make life simpler while moving from place to place around the world.
Hi all!
I came from Southeast Asia, will be going to Bangkok next month; just want to know what is the best way to open an account for international travel, so I donāt have to carry cash while traveling, Thanks!
HI Vanh thoui,
hmmm, depends where you can open this fromā¦
I guess in Asia I heard that CityBank works well and HSBC too for travelers if you have the funds.
ā¦elsewhere most Bank will require that you have some proof of residence in their country - at least as
a student - or from a residing Friend.
then you ll need at least an address + phone number in their country to open an account in a virtual Bank, for instance. That is necessary to receive your debit/credit Card nextā¦
Finally beside having an account you ll have to find a way to transfer funds to your new Bank, using Swift way most probably and Iban way if your orginal Bank offers it.
Note that some Online Bank will reject funds received in the Swift wayā¦
voili voilaā¦

Hi, I am Nanae. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan but have been living in Switzerland since 1981. As I took an early retirement 5 years ago, I have been a globetrotter since then, mainly hiking, safaris, surfing, snowboarding and diving in remote corners of this planet with my American partner.
Iāve discovered this web site because of the question of the global travel/health insurance, after having seen a serious snowboarding accident of my friend in Japan.
I hope I can find some useful information as well as being useful to other globetrotters if I can.
