What do you think I should do with Nomad List?

 

by @levelsio 9yr  | 57 comments

Nomad List has passed 200,000 monthly users this month, after being launched just a few months ago.

Since the launch Iโ€™ve worked hard to make the site better. But apart from improving the list itself, Iโ€™ve expanded by organizing meetups for nomads everywhere, launching a chat group, a forum w/ AMA with remote startups, a job board with remote jobs , and a blog with interviews with famous nomads.

I have a few more plans written down, but Iโ€™m mostly interested in your ideas where I should steer this ship, and also any feedback on what Iโ€™ve been doing right, and more interestingly: wrong. :slight_smile:

If you created moderators for each city as other people have mentioned. Would really help increase content and quality of listings. Many of us have been in cities or areas for years. Think reddit or the the slack chat channels.

Hey, it is great what you are doing with NomadList, i am happy that this site exists and i feel a great vibe around the nomad community. As i joined the Slack channels, i was happy on one side, but sad that all these resources were in a walled garden. I respect your work and i admit that i went through the payment process in order to reach the chat channel related to the country i am currently in, but it would be great if you could find a business model that allowed you to keep open the channels for sharing of information among nomads

Hey Libera! Thanks for the honest message :slight_smile:

Iโ€™ve tried to make everything as open possible. The forum, NomadTrips.co and Slack (since today https://hashtagnomads.com/chat.php) are now read-only accessible.

To participate though, people need to pay to become a member.

The thing is I donโ€™t see another way. Advertising simply canโ€™t pay for the cost to maintain and develop this site. I run it myself alone and make and develop everything myself. I like doing it, but there needs to be money coming from somewhere. Asking people to pay seems to be the easiest way right now.

I donโ€™t want to sell your user data, or that kind of freaky shit. Also it wouldnโ€™t make enough money at this volume (1000s of users), youโ€™d need 100s of millions of users to make it affordable (e.g. Google, Facebook).

At this scale, I need to ask people for money to keep the site up and running and evolving. I hope you understand and thanks for supporting me! :blush:

I also think that having a blog post that highlights what to do in each cities is a good idea. Also I like going to a city for a special local event, that would be cool to integrate that, maybe by using a calendar of national events. Something I always need to know is what is the cheapest way to travel from the airport. Itโ€™s always super expensive and the locals always know tricks about it.

Iโ€™d like to be able to choose the currency that the cost of living appears in, as my life is measured out in pounds sterling or euros. As it is itโ€™s useful for comparing cities, but not too helpful if I want to measure against my budget. To do that I have to convert into my own currency.

Along the same lines as City Experts, if you had a wiki for each city, that could be helpful. People who have lived in the city could curate it and add stuff like a list of cool coffee shops with good internet, parks, attractions, fun things to do, different foods to try, or descriptions of the different parts of the city.

Newcommers on the slack channel (at least the one for Chiang Mai), tend to ask very similar questions. It could be helpful to be able to point them to a wiki page about the city. I know there is already some great basic information on each city on nomadlist but I think having a wiki page could be very useful.

I think I like to see this place be that. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s a question and answer site, so in the long-term itโ€™ll start to have lots of qualitative data on all these cities around the world.

The quantitative data (like how much does it cost) is then available on Nomad List.

Thereโ€™ll be sites between those that can cover that gap hopefully.

Hereโ€™s a totally off the wall suggestionโ€ฆ What about a dating/socialising section/mini app? For those of us that are single nomads, it is actually quite difficult to find potential partners who can have the same lifestyleโ€ฆ I see some of the people here who are travelling as couples (and families) so it obviously works. I would hate to meet someone I like and them not being able to go nomading with me.

The site has become mission critical for many. Donโ€™t forget that big decisions are made from what we see here.

Having said that, Iโ€™m sometimes un-easy about the โ€œdataโ€ and results.

I think you need to make it more clear where the numbers and data originate, as much of it is extremely subjective. Without that, you may lose credibility.

I love the idea of offline community building! Good on your for that! Working in foreign countries, the vast majority of us want more ways to meet each other. In Prague, 1993 I had to become the advertising manager of the English newspaper to really get connected!! That was over 20 years ago and still there are great locations where we can not get beyond meeting people that were born in bred there. Meeting โ€œlocalsโ€ should always be a big priority over foreigners, but we do need support from each other.

Hi Pieter,

Nomad List is awesome, thank you for making it! It might be cool if there were virtual nomad check-in centers upon arrival in the top 3 or top 5 nomad cities (Chiang Mai, Prague, etc.), with a mission to hook up newcomers with a couple of buddies/mentors, a free week at a coworking space, possibly a mailing address (which would be amazing), and a list of helpful/non-scammy realtors, apartment complexes, etc.

By the way, thanks for all the tips guys/girls. I read EVERYTHING. And I write EVERYTHING down. Iโ€™m obviously a bit busy with running the list, chat, forum and all my other projects but that helps me prioritize the most important features, avoiding feature creep.

After Iโ€™ve finished my 12 startups in April, the speed of dev for Nomad List will get faster. Hiring devโ€™s is impossible yet, because the good ones cost $10,000/m+, so I can only do it myself now. Which is okay. Any help in promoting this revolution though is welcome :slight_smile:

@levelsio thatโ€™s cool, but weโ€™re all willing to help, just for the sake of contributing and making this grow.
About the exchange rate in Argentina, just a comment will be fine in Nomad List. I understand that the city guide for Buenos Aires is not a priority at the moment but when the time comes, I think there should be a chapter on how to manage when dealing with currency exchange in the city (either going to the black market or making a short trip to Uruguay to withdraw dollars from ATMs).
If it helps, Iโ€™ll start gathering all of this information.

You should add some way to take into account current exchange rate, maybe a ranking of top devaluating currencies.

i.e. now itโ€™s much cheaper to be in Japan with the devaluating Yen. Ukraine and Russia is also much much cheaper now. Would be great to be aware of this.

@voskovek 9yr

The exchange rate situation in Argentina, for instance, requires a special explanation, because we have two different exchange rates for the dollar, and itโ€™s much more convenient to change your dollars or euros in the black market, you never get your dollars from a bank (you lose like 50% of the value), and you certainly canโ€™t get dollars from an ATM here.

@voskovek 9yr

well in this case I think itโ€™s extremely important, because in Nomad List, the exchange rate listed is the black market rate, but it should be clarified that youโ€™ll never get that rate from a bank or an agency. For instance, youโ€™ll get AR$13 for each dollar in the black market, but youโ€™ll only get like AR$8,6 for each dollar in a bank. Itโ€™s important to know WHERE to go when changing money in the black market, because you can get scammed. So I figure there should be an explanation of the exchange rate situation, and then you can go on further detail on the city guide. Iโ€™d be glad to help out with this, gathering information about places in the black market where itโ€™s safe and convenient to exchange money.

Pieter, thereโ€™s on question we are constantly asked in the Chiang Mai slack channel: โ€œso Iโ€™m coming into town next week, where should I stay?โ€

Thereโ€™s a clear and simple need there. We find ourselves repeating he same answers. No doubt this could and should be solved on nomad list :slight_smile:

It doesnโ€™t need anything complex like plugins to hotels.com etc. just a crowd sourced collection of โ€˜places to stayโ€™ In this city with a simple vote function. That would help us easily work out where others like to stay when they visit this city. A map view might be useful, but thatโ€™s secondary requirement to the original problem.

Hi Pieter, great job with everything on here so far! I personally would love to see the main website expats use to sell items/ find apartments etc. for each city/country. Maybe users can quickly upvote or rate each one if theyโ€™ve used it in the past, or list an alternative one. Most people would assume its Craigslist, but in some cities thatโ€™s not the case. I live in Busan, South Korea for example and the most useful site is koreabridge.com. Having a mini database of these sites would definitely make this the ultimate tool IMO.

I think whatโ€™s missing is the ability to have categorized lists of amenities for each city - like hotels, airbnbs, coffee shops, coworking spaces, etc. Let people comment on the amenities and vote them up/down.

Indexing them now and parsing it into data so people can see the rules for their specific nationality.

Already do that, check the โ€œBestโ€ tab and see short-haul carrier (should add cheap carrier maybe?).

Nice! Do you like the idea of city experts? Like you know a lot about Chiang Mai and help people? I could charge for them consulting? Take a %?

Yep itโ€™s actually there but hidden. I will re-enable it. Most cities have videos are selected for them.

Awesome! Something like a city list but then you click the city and you see a list of coworking spaces? Ranked just like the cities are ranked?

Yep, in the works and crowdsourced in a curated way from #nomads. @youjindo is helping me collect them.

Also in the works. Any specific features youโ€™d like except location, itinerary? Should messaging go through Twitter or internal?

  • Tour Guides
  • Buy/Sell Websites
  • Currency Exchange
  • Telecom Service
  • Print Shops
  • Tourist Spots

Or more, the sky is the limit. But in particular, the core of Hotels / Coffee Shops / Coworking would be immensely useful. Especially if comments are allowed too.

I love the idea. I am from Colombia and I have been working and travelling in the US as Nomad (Houston, Austin, Cambridge/Boston). I currently live in Oslo after I came as a tourist and found a great community of entrepreneurs in Norway, but it seems I am the only nomad registered in nomadlist.io that is here. I could easily help people travelling to these cities since I have lived enough time to have friends that could guide Nomads in case they need local assistance for any emergency.

I just replied to โ€œWhere are the nomad hot spots in Central and South America?โ€ recommending nomads to visit Colombia. But I would definitely like to help them more beyond that.

I think your original idea of doing guides for each city starting with the most popular ones like chang mai is a really good idea (donโ€™t know if you did that, I couldnโ€™t find) and will complement the purpose of the site I believe, you could do like the lonely planet online version but for digital nomads.

A guide with how to get everything set up once you arrive to a city (which sim to get, address of the coworking space, which district/area to stay to meet other digital nomads, if its worth to rent or buy a bike , etc , etc all laid out) as well as some things to do that might only interest digital nomads.

Maybe you could even crowd source such guides and let the people that helped you write them access to all the guides of other cities, for regular users you could sell the guides , with 200k visits per month I think you will sell a tone of guides too to maybe expand with further ideas (like in the future doing the digital nomad vending machines heard you said once haha ) .

Heres a quick brain-dump:

  • link each location on the site to the relevant slack channel and forum tag(s)
  • add coastal/inland info (some people insist on beaches)
  • obtain metrics to offer the user a choice between budget and flashpackers. Some countries have a huge difference in costs from living like a local to living with western standards.
  • allow bloggers to submit posts relating to certain locations
  • use your email list and get that newsletter going
  • link to wikipediaโ€™s various articles regarding the visa rules for that country
  • list which low cost carriers service that city (or link to something like http://www.whichairline.com/)
  • check-ins pulled from facebook/twitter/foursquare last-seen geo data
  • companion site to allow users to submit their fave nomad-friendly accommodation locations - we all know that this is a popular request as well as a huge logistical nightmare but if it is crowdsourced and dumbed down, the affiliate revenue itself would be worth the hassle.

Iโ€™m not sure if this is way too ambitious, but Iโ€™d love to see a Nomad List app similar to TrailWallet, to keep track of your income and expenses, but with the option to anonimously link the app to the site, to have more data collection in real time, and so that visitors could get a chance to see a single personโ€™s cost breakdown (with daily, monthly, yearly statistics). That way you could see more easily how much is the cost of living for different types of nomads (a party animal, a lebowski, a hermit who never goes outโ€ฆ).

Also, I second @DanielGenser 's suggestion about blog articles. Each city could have a section with a weekly or monthly blog article about a nomadโ€™s experience while living there (specifically written for NomadList). Iโ€™m not a nomad yet but Iโ€™d be more than happy to contribute with an article once Iโ€™m on the road and Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s lots of nomads out there willing to do the same just to help us begginers!

Could easily turn this into an awesome place to learn more about things to do / see in certain areas. Information on places to stay, gear reviews, reviews in general.

I think expanding on the information given for each city would be a good start. Cost of living is very subjective, and no one lives in exactly similar ways. The more perspectives and stories that can be read that can qualify the data you present on each city, the richer and more meaningful the data can be.

For instance, links out to stories, blog articles, and such about peopleโ€™s experience in each city. Helping people understand how a place feels.

What features would you like to see on Nomad List?


by @levelsio 3yr 3 years ago  | 3 comments

Hi everyone,

I would love to hear what you'd like me to build next on Nomad List, or any other product/feature feedback ideas you have.

It's been 6+ years now but I'm in this for the long term and with the boost remote work got last year it's even more exciting to work on Nomad List than ever.

Current roadmap is here: twitter.com/levelsio/status/1363204985488572417?s=20 and pbs.twimg.com/media/EusS9PKXEAUR8xp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

The next products/features I have planned:

- ๐Ÿ›‚ Rebase: visa, residency and immigration services for remote workers

- ๐ŸŽ“Courses: learn the steps how to go remote and travel/relocate

- ๐Ÿ› Gov liaison: diplomacy services to the governments to help us lobby for nomads and for them to attract remote workers

Thanks a lot!

List of Visa/Residency Information in Table/Spreadsheet format?


by @innovatelife 3yr 3 years ago  | 2 comments

As part of signing up for this website I was hoping I would come across a list of Visa and/or Residency requirements by country ideally in a table format to assist with decision making. Does anybody recommend any other websites that might present the information in this format (or Google Spreadsheet)?

Most Walkable Neighborhood / City In The World ?


by @dannybooboo 3yr 3 years ago  | 1 comment

I love living in walkable areas of town. I can always find them. But now I'm wondering where in the world are the most walkable places? I'm imagining walk streets (no cars), zoning allowing both business and residential, parks or beaches ,etc.

Any nomads in Arizona, US?


in Netherlands by @info132 3yr 3 years ago  | 4 comments

Hi guys,

After the Netherlands, the Bay Area, Colorado and being on the van life for 8 months, I am now in Sedona, AZ with a few other digital nomads. We are sharing a home here and are wondering if there are more like minded people in the area.

We do a bunch of hikes and campouts in the northern of Arizona. If you would like to connect with us, please do so :)

Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of?


in Germany by @clara 3yr 3 years ago  | 0 comments

Hi everybody. I live and work in Germany and want to go to Canary Islands for 6 months to work from there. I'm going to keep my current job, just change the "home" in the home office part of things. Are there any tax issues I have to be aware of? I was reading about becoming a residence after 183 days, thus having to pay taxes there plus my employer having to register there. Does anybody know how it works exactly? Thanks a lot!

Anyone up to explore some city which is kinda virus safe?


in Bangkok , Thailand by @germanrobert 3yr 3 years ago  | 2 comments

Hello World!

I'm an experienced Digital Nomad and after being in Lockdown in Bangkok and Germany for one year I would like to team up with someone to visit a new place. Or just doing some exchange about what destinations would be interesting currently.

I take the virus seriously and still I think we can still be able to take our life in our own hands. So I'm aiming for cities/countries which are not in full lockdown, are not too complicated about immigration (I'm looking at you Thailand, your state quarantine costs like 1k USD and is basically a prison) and is also rather safe regarding the virus. I tend to stick for rather big cities and like culture. I'm not a beach or nature person. I'm pretty flexible about the money topic.

Hi, we are trying to find a house to rent for 2-3 persons near Las Palmas for 4-5 months at the moment and it seems to be almost impossible except through Airbnb which is super expensive. Any advises or local contacts?

If you're American but live in Guatemala, do you still count as American for travel purposes?


in Guatemala by @chasindreams 3yr 3 years ago  | 0 comments

What I mean is, for example, since most of the EU has banned Americans, if I live in Guatemala and will be traveling FROM Guatemala to the EU, could I get in? Or does the ban count for all Americans regardless of where they live?

Ukraine Residency


in Ukraine by @reticle 3yr 3 years ago  | 1 comment

I have a slightly above average US income which I can work remotely from paired with a $1000 a month income stream and more than enough to purchase a middle end Flat in Ukraine. Does anyone with knowledge of this process have any advice to acquire a reliable way to stay in the country?

Are co-working spaces a good way to meet people in a new city?


by @donaldbough 3yr 3 years ago  | 1 comment

My fiancรฉe and I are most likely moving to NYC (maybe DC) in August, and as a technical startup co-founder I'd love to meet new people that are also into startups. Would joining a co-working space be worth the money to do this?

I work for a big tech company that has an office in NYC, but it's mainly sales so I wouldn't be able to meet others that are related to any of my 9-5 work or likely into tech.

If co-working spaces, post covid of course, aren't a good way to meet business starting people in a new city, what is?

Hi, my name is Eric and I am a remote worker from Norway. Me and a friend is flying into Gran Canaria on Friday and spending two weeks in San Agustin on the south side of the Island.

Is there a map of countries open for travel now?


in Russia by @vernon99 3yr 3 years ago  | 8 comments

I have two passports from different countries and am trying to understand where can I travel now. Is there a publicly available map of countries open for visitors by passport country that I can use to see what are my options? I was pretty sure such a thing should exist, but cannot easily find any.

Maybe at least there're maps for specific passports? Mine are Russian and American.

If there's no such thing, I'd be down to build one, let me know if interested to collaborate :)

I am planning to travel to Mexico City next weekend and stay for 7-10 days there. I wonder if cafes, stores and other places like these work? And if cafes work, do they work as usual or only for take away&delivery? Will be very thankful if someone can help here.
