Hello to everybody
Iām
starting a new adventure, was living on the west coast of us and now Iām in Denmark working on my new sailboat project, building an international sailing club to do expeditionās and teach seamanship skills traveling to arctic and tropical regions. Before this Iāve always been self employed and living in places like Central America the Amazon, Borneo, Alaska and Germany.
Iām looking for information on banking possibilities, my American bank is totally insufficient and crop to deal with from here.
Hi gang,
Marco from Canada! Living the in the Czech Republic. Gotta say I love the site ;).
Been abroad now for almost a year and learned a few things along the way :P.
I can help for Canadian specific questions or for people coming to Prague ;).
Nice to meet yāall.
Iām Ken and I currently live in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, I wouldnāt really call myself a Nomad, only that I move around a lot. I tend to get bored in one place after awhile. Iām not a world traveler, although I have seen a lot. In my seventies, and still not ready to settle anywhere. I think I found this group looking for information about N26 Bank. I am considering a move to Leipzig Germany and was trying to get information about opening a bank account without needing a permanent address. I do enjoy reading everyones stories here.
Hello World!
Iām Attila from Germany, based in Singapore for a few years now.
I am interested in futuristic tech, helping people, interaction, exploring and learning, and a load of other things.
In recent years, my projects/activities have been circling around robotics, human machine interfaces, assistive systems for people with different abilities and seniors, rehab tech, and extreme sports. I am hoping to start a business in a related field within the next years.
Feel free to approach me on any related topic.
Cheers,
A
Hi Attila,
Weāre north of you in western Japan, 34 years now. However, interested to partly re-locate to Singapore, at least to register a business there. On robotics, I know that in Sichuan, on the outskirts of Chengdu, there are some firms making robot dinosaurs for theme parks. Saw them in April.
Used to work with seniors, long ago. Handicapped devices is a growing field.
Open to discussion, if you like.

Hi, Iām Mel Wicks. Iām a copywriter and content marketer, currently based in the beautiful tropics of Far North Queensland in Australia. But Iām about to sell up my house, pack up my husband and two dogs and move to the UK for a bit of a European adventure. The plan is to base ourselves in the UK for a couple of years, but explore more of Europe and the States while still working as a copywriter. So I guess Iām going to become a sort of nomad. I thought this might be a good forum to get moral support and good advice on my travels.
Hi everyone, Iām Chris. From Vancouver in Canada but currently backpacking around Australia.
I do dropshipping. Funny thing is I started out with FBA then got rid of my own products and began dropshipping others. This was due to setting up in Canada where FBA is difficult, and not wanting to deal with USA customs.
Anyway, business has been good, and I really enjoy travel so I want to leave Canada officially and put down roots somewhere with lower tax. Thatās why Iām here.
Hoping to learn and maybe meet some of you on the road one day!
Hello Everyone!
Iām a native USA citizen, born and raised in California on a farm. Iām 67-years old and retired 3 years ago from teaching the blind and piano/voice (among other things). I presently live in Sedona, Arizona, USA and have been house and pet sitting while camping in between as a transition. I love camping and being in nature! Everything I own is in my pick-up. Iām a natural minimalist with a camera, iphone and MacBook Pro.
I just finished a TEFL Certificate Course (yesterday) and will be traveling and teaching in Mexico, Central and South America - for starters. I plan on driving and camping (in my pickup) so that I can truly explore the natural environment and native cultures independently. Until now, Iāve only traveled and camped within the U.S, with only two trips out of country - to Hungary and New Zealand. So, this is a new adventure to work and live primarily out of my native country. Iām just beginning to learn Spanish and to organize my life to be an international nomad. I plan to leave sometime this summer, if not before.
Iām very happy to find organizations like Nomadās Gate to help me learn how to be a traveler / expat with grace and efficiency. Iām doing it on a shoe string, so I need to be smart about it. TEFL jobs do not pay well in the regions Iāll be teaching. I plan to do some volunteer work too. So thank you to all who have contributed. As I begin my adventure, Iāll be sure to share anything that I think might be helpful to others. Iām a single, older woman camping alone, so I have a that special perspective. I may start a blog of my travels and if I do, Iāll let you know.
CAMPING WEBSITES
I can share two camping websites. (1) http://app.ioverlander.com/ - for camping in a number of countries, and (2) https://freecampsites.net/ - for camping in the USA and Canada mostly.
FREE GOOD QUALITY YOUTUBE MOVIE CHANNEL
Also, Iāve developed a private Youtube movie channel. I call it āCrystal Clear Moviesā. Since I donāt pay for TV or cable, I have been gathering technically good-quality movies on Youtube on a channel - for myself and friends. Youtube is full of terrible uploads, so if you go to my channel, you can save yourself the time finding a good movie. I also list my favorite channels which usually have better videos. My channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf5-pv8eCnhTd7Bd-fEdU9A?view_as=subscriber. You can also search āFREE TV on Youtubeā and find some free TV or check out Pluto TV.
I look forward to exploring Nomad Gate and hearing from you all.
Have a great day!

Hi Sara!

Hi Anne!
I just joined Nomad Gate - just curious what you do as a freelancer - if you care to share. Iāll be teaching English but Iām interested in developing other freelance activities like writing. Just curious how people manage to live and work while traveling.
Thanks!
Jyoti

Hi everyone
Iām currently a graduate student and will graduate soon. I have had ambitions to live and work abroad for some time now.
At the moment Iām heavily considering countries which offer work/holiday visas (turning 30 soon), or hoping to find a career which will hopefully post me overseas (where I feel this option is initially more challenging from the start).
Anyhow, Iāve joined this community to learn about everyoneās different experiences, so that I can develop a plan to make it happen. I look forward to connecting with anyone/willing to share.
Some of my favorite places include (not ordered):
-Stockholm
-London
-Barcleona
-Copenhagen
Cheers!
Hello hello guys!
Iām Francesco, a consultant from
I decided to leave the company that i work for at the end of January so Iām really fascinated by the chance of becoming a digital nomad, thatās why Iām here!
My favorite places are:
Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Italy (but I guess it doesnāt count!)
Hi everyone,
My name is Jase - I met Thomas through a Slack channel a few years ago and Iāve been slow to join up here but happy to find the community.
Iāve been remote since around late-2014. Previously selling services and now focused on building and investing in helpful income generating websites. I still do some SEO consulting on the side too - it allows me to work with much larger enterprises and fine tune my skills.
Andorra is my home now - I happily spend at least 9 months of the year in Andorra with my family. Most years itās probably more like 11 nowadays. Itās funny how when you have the freedom, it becomes less important.
Happy to answer questions as I find them. Iāve learned a lot about living abroad in an obscure location the hard way, so itās nice when I can save others the time/hassle.
Cheers!
Hi Jase,
Happy holidays to you and yours (Merry Christmas if you celebrate).
Back in 2011 I studied in Spain, and took a day trip to Andorra ā beautiful country.
Iād be very interested to learn more about your story, and how to start out abroad.
Cheers!
Best,
A.
Hey @anon59184127,
Iām about to run out the door so will need to reply to specifics at a later date, however I wrote a story for this very purpose: How I Became a Location Independent Entrepreneur | Jase Rodley
Itās long but hopefully provides some insights into one of the (many) ways people find themselves doing what they do.
Merry Christmas to you too!

Hello! Iām Vanessa, social sciences researcher and mother of a one y old. Iāve lived in many countries, but I do not consider myself as a nomad yet. I am planning on permanently becoming one and I am searching for information concerning ebanking, homeschooling, world health insurance, etc.
My favorite place in the world is a tiny remote beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Hey everybody!
I hate taxes, I always did. Paying some would make sense, but after living in Belgium for 34 years Iāve had more than enough. Property prices have quadrupled over 30 years, while wages havenāt even doubled. This economy is broken and I no longer want to be a victim of poor choices, made by other people.
Iāve always been intrigued by lower tax jurisdictions and spent a lot of time researching my options, but itās not until recently that I learned about Flag Theory / Perpetual Travelling. This is everything Iāve always been looking for, I almost canāt believe itās a 'thingā and thereās other people like me who have been doing this for decades!
However, the more I read about it, the more I suffer from information overload. I hope to find some answers here after explaining my situation.
