For Istanbul, it’s worth installing Foursquare if you don’t use it already. It’s HUGE in Turkey and you can get a lot of good recommendations on there. Also eat some Çiğ köfte and take a trip or two to the Asian side.
For New Zealand, if you can afford the time, hire or buy a camper van and travel around in that. Such a great way to see the Islands.

Thanks! Foursquare is a great tip, I’ll definitely use that.
And I’ll definitely also try Çiğ köfte. It looks pretty good:
I’m not sure how long I’ll have in New Zealand, but even if I end up catching the Naked Bus instead of getting a camper van I’d definitely try to explore a bit of both the north and the south island.

I’m from Argentina and currently 28 years old.
I’ve just stepped out as the CEO of Trimaker, the leading 3D printing company of Latin America that develops & designs technology in Buenos Aires, manufactures in China and distributes around the world. I’m part of the Sandbox global community of young disruptors and help hundreds of entrepreneurs in finding a business model, making a sustainable company, business development, commercial challenges, fund raising, team building and get sh!t done since 2012.
Although I’ve always been a tech entrepreneur, I have a background on engineering, energy and climate change. I’ve decided that I want to be seriously involved in and dedicated to community development, ecosystem regeneration 
and climate change. And, to be honest, I just don’t know enough about it. I understand some of the theory, but I’m quite far from the practice. I’m starting a immersive trip to discover where I can help the most.
In February 2018 I’m going to do Google Street View on Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica 
.
On March 31st me and my girlfriend have a one way flight to Sydney 
We’re looking forward to get a remote job (no idea how) and discover Australia and New Zealand’s way of living.

I am the person who likes to make projects better using gamification techniques. Yes, I’m a gamer who is interested in going to Korea, Japan, and the EU. If you know of any other areas where eSports is HOT, just add that to my list 
Currently, I am a writer for GameDevJon → http://gamedevjon.com/ the blog is just getting started so if you are interested in game development check it out. My first article will tell you how to get started in game development and should go live in a few days.
I’m so glad to be here, I need to meet more digital nomads. I am the only person in my circle who has such a life goal and I need peers!
Thanks for having me and I am looking forward to getting to know the community.

Good luck with your trip to Sydney. They say the only way to achieve a goal is to set a date and meet it.
By the way, are there any gamers in your sandbox of disruptors?

Hi all, I’m Ruairi - originally Irish, brought up in South Africa and have been travelling and working abroad pretty much my entire adult life. I spent nearly a decade based in London and travelling Europe, have been based in Asia for the past 3 years now and take every opportunity to travel when I can. Favourite places: Japan 
and Germany 
overall, but specifically Hokkaido, Kyoto, Osnabruk, Berlin, Galway, Glasgow and the Magaliesburg or Drakensburg in Southern Africa.
If you’re looking for me, try anywhere there is live music, stand up comedy or on the slopes!

Ian Leighton, designer originally from SF. Founded a startup and then worked at Apple most recently, now a combination of learning, projects, travel, and freelance work… but nothing paid yet.
Installing a home base in Lisboa at the end of the year. I love to travel slowly, but while nomadic, I miss having access to tools and machines to build things.
The Master and Margarita starts slowly, but is a fantastic read.

Hello, I’m Bruno.
I discovered this site while searching for a better European bank account. I’m an embedded software developer and I’ve started working remotely as a freelancer this year. I’m currently living in Brazil 
I like hiking, discovering new places, challenges for example like this one I did recently: https://live.codewarz.ninja/
I’m watching closely the cryptocurrency revolution that is in progress, and am curious about how it will shape the world.
Some good things are already coming out of it, like the Brave browser (http://brave.com) which is the fastest browser I’ve ever used and it allows you to block ads automatically AND you can fund the sites you visit the most automatically with cryptocurrency. I don’t work for them, I just really dislike how the web has become slow and ad-ridden and I find this alternate model very interesting and hope it catches on!
