Introduce yourself! šŸ‘‹

Hello everyone
Iā€™m new here. Happy to be among everyone. Im a retired teacher trying to set up a new business. I live in Middle East.

Hello my name Is Tim and i am an older man who plans on retiring in asia as i have spend the last 20 years traveling there for business but now its time to leave the USA and move on in life. I have been to most of the asian countries but find Thailand as my perfered place and instead of staying in a large city i have chose Korat in northern thailand . My main concern is health insurance at my age.

Hi Everyone, Iā€™m Florence from Nigeria. Iā€™ve lived in France but mostly in Nigeria where I reside now. Iā€™ve got older kids living or schooling in North America and as I get closer to retirement Iā€™d love to have a passport that permits me to travel easily around the world especially so I can visit my kids hence my interest in the Portuguese GV. I think I would love to spend more time in Portugal too, I found the people very friendly and the cost of living low. Lovely climate too. I love reading and recommend ā€˜Half of a yellow sunā€™ by Chimamanda Adichie.

Hello there,
Iā€™m Claudia from Germany.
I have lived in Germany until 2003. I have then moved to the US. In 2006 I went to Seoul, South Korea for two years. After that, I spent 8 months in Rome, Italy, and have been in Brussels, Belgium since 2009.
I have always enjoyed traveling and living abroad. Iā€™m currently working toward becoming location-independent with regard to work.
I have changed my career path about 4 years ago. I have a German law degree but transitioned into teaching German as a second language. From teaching, I transitioned into creating interactive online exercised for teachers and students. I enjoy doing that a lot more than the actual teaching.
In addition to that, Iā€™m in the process of becoming a certified life coach which I will finish in the springtime of next year.
I also love coffee and painting.

Happy to join this community! :smile: :world_map:

Hello, Iā€™m really pleased to have found this community. Itā€™s amazing how much knowledge there is here, and itā€™s stuff that I didnā€™t even know that I didnā€™t know. Iā€™m in the US and just starting to learn about golden visas.

Hi Joined the community, I was trying to find a bank to receive my mturk payments.
Well, I had a doubt about my Hyperwallet how to change bank account.

Hello to allā€¦

I live in Toronto, Canada, and plan to move to Portugal in the coming 2-3 years. I have been exploring through the various digital nomad community sites and really glad to find you guys!

My plan is to find a nice place in Europe and take a masterā€™s degree in arts.

Thank you to everyone who provides valuable knowledge, and Looking forward to sharing experiences with you guys!

Hello everyone! My name is Maira.
I have been an English teacher for over 15 years while, at the same time, working remotely as an academic writer. I am here to get advice so I can get a borderless account that does not need to be connected to my bank account.
Excited to get to know you all! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all, I am a university professor in public health. Iā€™m looking for a backup plan for a US passport. Lucky as I am to have it, it might not have the benefits that it does not. So, Iā€™m going for a Golden Visa in Portugal.

Hi,
Iā€™m joe, currently working as a network support specialist for a big telco in Canada. Iā€™m getting close to being financially independent and to go back to living in Europe at least part-time.
My passion is to trade / invest and challenge myself to beat the money game.
Portugal might be the place I can call home in the near future once I retire and enjoy life.
Iā€™d love to make contacts, friends, and expand my network.

Iā€™m American, from New York State, but Iā€™ve made my home in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia since 2003. I can speak Malay fluently, but not well.

My wife is Malaysian and we have a daughter. Iā€™m a programmer, primarily focused on frontend Web Development. I currently work remotely for an American company.

In my experience, Malaysia has been a very difficult place for an American to live. Malaysian Immigration has never made it easy and itā€™s only become slightly better since I first moved here. I canā€™t open a bank account because I donā€™t have a national Identity Card. And I canā€™t (legally) work or earn money here in spite of being married to a Malaysian citizen.

I recently lost access to my American bank account and, due to Coronavirus restrictions, the postal system appears to be completely shut down. So, I canā€™t be sent a new card. I found this site while I was googling around for a solution.

I wouldnā€™t be considered old by most standards, but my health is poor and I donā€™t expect to see another decade even with an optimistic perspective. This doesnā€™t make me sadā€¦ a well-earned rest. I donā€™t discuss the subject with my family, though.

I donā€™t have much of an interest in sports and I hate politics. I love just about all things tech. I enthusiastically identify with several facets of geek cultureā€¦ I can quote from Star Trek, Star Wars, classic American TV & movies, several different Anime series, and even a few obscure British productions. I havenā€™t watched ā€œregularā€ TV in many years and Iā€™ll never enter a movie theater again. I like to watch YouTube and Iā€™ll watch anything on Netflix. Iā€™m not picky. I just pick one of the suggestions and watch it through til the end.

Hi everyone,

My name is Jonathan. I came across nomad gate while looking for a new bank account and decided to join the community because I love to travel and see new places. Currently I havenā€™t traveled outside of the U.S. but have lived in 9 different states in both the east and west coasts as well as the Midwest and finally the south. I hope to get my first stamp in my passport next year when I attend my friendā€™s wedding in Colombia pending the current circumstances. I hope to learn a lot so that when I take my first overseas trip Iā€™ll be well prepared in advance.

Hi! Iā€™m Sofia, living and working in Manila (from Pakistan). Iā€™m actively exploring the GV for Portugal through investment fund option, and already find this community to be SO helpful. Look forward to interacting and exchanging information.

:wave: Hi all! Weā€™re an American couple with an empty nest and a full-on urge to see the world over the next 10 or so years. Unsure if weā€™re just going to travel place to place or actually take the leap and settle in Spain or Portugal via the D7 or perhaps one of the investment / real estate programs. Weā€™d be doing some part- time remote consulting but largely plan on living frugally off our savings and from renting out our existing home.

So weā€™re just here for now to read about your experiences and to gather some information. Great to meet you all!
