Most "digital nomads" who do this either get a private room in a hostel since it's the same price as an airbnb or are people who don't need to be on the phone like a helpdesk monkey. I'll do a hostel when the area, cost, and amenities are ideal simply because why spend more than I need to?
>spends days hopping from sketchy cafés to public libraries for wifi
The ones who do this usually have no clue what they are doing and are going to burn out.
>friend just bought a house and has healthcare
Compared to back home I pay about 200-350/mo for an Airbnb 'asian style studio w/ shower' or month-long hostel room in Korea and Japan, that's about 300-500 dollars under the cheapest studio I can find on the outskirts of town that might be section 8 not sure. I'm banking roughly 4k a month after all said and done in which I am putting towards a house to minimize payments I make only to pay off interest on any loan. This means 3 years I'd have saved enough for roughly a 120k house+enough to fix it up+closing costs+taxes, so I could even flip it if I wanted out right.

What's up with this absolute flood of shit bait these days? Is it because college started back up and faggots are mad they have to go back to class?
>>
>be digital nomad
>don't tell anyone I am a digital nomad, just make some BS excuse like backpacking, quit my job with money saved, or some shit.
This is what most successful DN's actually do. Very few DN's who make it ever tell people they are doing it because how fucking awful it is simply to deal with the following
>DUDE YOU DN THAT'S EPIC HOW DO I DO THAT!?!?!
>What skills do you have
>4/5 times it's none at best it's some worthless college degree they got just cuz mom and dad paid for it
>CAN I JUST LEARN LIKE WEB DEV IN 2 WEEKS I SAW AN AD ONCE ON YT AND TICK TOK
>Ask what exp they even have in the job market
>always get some BS excuse about how shit it is to even get entry level or anything in the US so traveling on some free mom and dad cash still
>explain a bit about IT and CS maybe explain some certificate paths as good learning goals
>instantly get that dread of eyes glossed over everything I am saying is going in one ear and out the other
>BRO CAN YOU GET ME A JOB AT YOUR COMPANY I AM A FAST LEARNER I HAVE GREAT IDEAS BLAH BLAH
>realize this person doesn't have a chance at even Tier 1 Helpdesk

This almost is clockwork for anyone who's met Non-Digital Nomads but really want to be. Once people get told that they will need some skillset over Helpdesk monkey tier they lose their shit knowing they have to probably work to a Jr. or Sr. position; not End User Support. Fact is that most people who even do attempt it are going to need some level of trust with their company often taking +2 years to build and multiple examples of good work, by that time many companies who would put you in a position that can travel and work anywhere probably now have you at a comfortable position where decent pay and 4weeks off+company holidays is enough. Sure there are exceptions to the rule but most will almost instantly forget about it after the first 12-18 months and just go for vacation days because it's something you already have.

>>
whether you're making a lot of money online or not, traveling from place to place, starting over every three months is a major pain in the ass. if you have a nomad visa that's better of course but they can make you run through hoops to get it. healthcare while cheaper abraod is something you have to pay out of pocket. if you work for a company int he US, the insurance will be useless abroad, so hopefully don't need a sudden surgery or anything. airports and immigration suck, always having to do things like book fake tickets to have your onward ticket and then hopefully you manage to cancel in time, every time you pack up to leave (or even where you're staying) constant risk of losing all your shit to robbers, muggers or scammers. having to make new friends or fuckmates every time you move, find new favorite places, testing out new restaurants and shit all over again, most of which will suck. seeing places you already saw and everybody already saw all over youtube because like a thousand vloggers already went and ruined it. over all, it's not a lifestyle i would recommend to anybody.
>>
>>2713316
this is why, eventually, medium to long term expat life is the way. for most it will be tough to maintain a healthy fulfilling routine when resetting so much.

that or just stay domestic, which is going to be a lot more straightforward

I went nomadic just to sample places for a year before picking one.

>Most "digital nomads" who do this either get a private room in a hostel since it's the same price as an airbnb

I knew a guy who was making his money online by teaching English to people in Asia, but he had to be talking ocnstantly during work hours, which for him meant the middle of hte night, since he was now in Latam. His AirBnb host obviously had a big problem with it, as did the neighbors. It turned out being really stressful for him. Poor guy. Make sure you are in the same timzone if you're going to be on teh phoen all the time.

>major pain in the ass
Sounds like you're a lazy shithead who only wants to rot away the rest of your life in Bumfuck, England, going to the same stupid pub every weekend to chat with the same crew of beer-swilling losers.
>starting over every three months
To the contrary, three months is far, far too long to stay plopped down in one location. I've stayed as long as one month in two different places, and their appeal was absolutely lost on me by the end of it. Three to four nights is ideal.
>most of which will suck
No, you suck at traveling. Hitting the streets in search of good food is peak enjoyment for a non-coomer.
>le insurance
Fuck insurance in all its forms.
>everybody already saw all over youtube
Same old zoomer excuse. You faggots live your entire lives through a screen to the point where the only authentic travel experience for you is laying in bed watching some broface traveler yapping on self-importantly for 45 minutes about his daily routine.

While your post is all over the place this really isn't that big of a deal. Here is the secret: Learn2Pack

Any digital nomad packing more than their toothbrush and proper deodorant(fuck this shit can be hard to find in any form of quality sometimes), is doing it wrong.

Learn to fold clothes or how to roll them + rubber bands to save space
Learn to use washing machines/laundromats while abroad
Realize if you need clothes abroad you can probably find them with a little effort
Understand seasons, if you only want to pack light shorts/t-shirts/etc. Make plans to hold up down in SEA or Mediterranean areas for winter, venture back up and out for spring/fall/winter
Don't overpack extra redundant shit like wall adapters or power bricks, USB-C literally everything you can and you'll always find ways to charge anywhere comapred to 6 years ago.
Look up alternative methods to get from A-B, if you plan right you can often hop on a bus or train and avoid airport time sinks
Realize just because you book a 30 day Airbnb doesn't mean you can't do a train ride to butffuck town spend a night or two there then come back to the airbnb
Always keep vital electronics to do your job with your carry on, make checked luggage always disposable and clothes stuff

Personally, I do 30-45 days per location assuming the visa is 60/90, then pick a few places to hunker down as Airbnb is basically do 30 days for the discount or bust now for most bookings it seems. If you're doing it right 1 roller luggage+decent backpack will do all you need

This reads how you want it to be. And not like reality. Not every digital nomad is some successful social media god that makes 10 to 20k per month and is living the life in South East Asia. OP's post is probably closer to truth going off on the digital nomads I've met irl. The Idea that they have fuck you money is probably wishful thinking. Person I know returned home every once in a while cuz he was broke. Worked a regular job for 6 months and hit the road again. Lived with his parents when he got home. Meaning he didn't need to pay rent and shit. Basically his parents subsidized his lifestyle. Whilst I personally didn't get his need to travel semi broke. He didn't seem unhappy about it either. Which I guess is the most important thing.

That vlogger that went with Bald across the Darien gap had a gall bladder issue and had to have it removed in Mexico City. They charged him $17,000, which is more than the averge cost of gall bladder removal in the US.

>DN visas are fucking everywhere with simple requirements

Yeah, like international health insurance, which will cost you at least $500 a month for the most basic coverage, along with half a dozen other requirements.

Again, do Americans really? You don't seem to understand that your costs for international health insurance largely reflects the tail end costs of medical repatriation and care after that.

Oh, so you're NOT saying you have INTERNATIONAL health insurance. You're saying you have insurance IN ONE COUNTRY. Which means you aren't even nomading, because you have to have RESIDENCY in a country before they would even sell you insurance.

This is something entirely different from what we're talking about and has nothing to do with a digital nomad visa, which requires INTERNATIONAL health insurance. Good luck finding that for under $500 a month.

Amazing how many people are too dumb to grasp the concept of international health insurance (which covers you across multiple countries) and buying insurance "internationaly" in another country. Yeah, no shit, you can buy $100 health insurance in Guatemala UAE or whatever if you have residency or citizenship. That's not international health insurance. It's not going to cover your ass when you get sick in Japan.
>>
>>2714735
you can literally get expat insurance that covers like $5k-10k worth of medical expenses (they pay you back) as long as you get a receipt and record of what was done, for like $80-100 a month. They will also cover you for accidents and other shit you might have to pay out of pocket to another person for.

your level of ignorance is fucking astounding considering you can literally just search for it and find out in like 10 seconds

Anon is a retard,

In the US you can go to Seven Corners or IMG, if your insurance doesn't just offer adding on travel for like 5 bucks to your existing coverage, for like ~100/mo. It's not hard to get by any means though most Americans aren't wanting "that" kind of insurance for the health services they are doing. Pretty sure most anons are looking to get their teeth unfucked and hair replaced because they were retards slamming monster energy drinks 24/7 in high school looking like 30 y/o's at 22.

My company pays for my healthcare and adding something on just means I had to call and ask for something, only paying like a few bucks out of pocket for travel.
