As a nomad who wouldn't mind settling down, I'm actually more interested in a place where I can register my company with prospects of becoming full-fledged citizen in the future, preferably in somewhat colder regions of the planet. I'm not entirely happy with my current passport, and working out of off-shores doesn't do much good for that.

I'd learn about the options on http://flagtheory.com/

Some of the text is so low-contrast that I can't read it.

This could be even more problematic for vision-impaired readers. Low contrast text should be avoided out of consideration for those with less than perfect sight, even if it looks "cool".

Great concept. One feature request: Better calculations for cities with Bi-modal price distributions. Certain cities have a extremely bi-modal distributions of pricing. I.e. they can support both the "broke artist" lifestyle, and the "upper middle class" lifestyle. Two separate cost distributions. If you try to take the mean or median of these cities, you'll end up either arbitrarily landing on one of the distributio…

And likewise with temperature. I grew up in Iowa where it fluctuates from over 100F (40C) to below 0F (-20C) but that doesn't give it the same climate as San Francisco's near-constant 70F (20C). For that matter, colorize high temperatures in red as well.

I don't see this as very useful. People are different, so are countries. Internet is very relative. Can be extremely slow and extremely fast in one city. Beijing 20 MBPS? Really? Maybe when you are torrenting or using Baidu. The Eardex Index http://flyingdutchman.co/cost-living-world-wide-county/ provides more info. But even this is like selecting you girl friend based on numbers.

It seems to hold when accessing yoku, letv, Tudo, but that's about it, and even then the local internet can be even. If you have to use a VPN, be prepared for pain and heartache, and have lots of patience.

Why would anyone want to nomad in Beijing? Breathing would be your biggest problem.

Hi HN! I made this. Here's some info on the data before everyone goes berzerk :) Firstly, it's crowdsourced from this spreadsheet http://nomadlist.io/edit/ so it might not be 100% accurate. Secondly, NomadCost != cost of living. NomadCost is based on short-term staying in a hostel, hotel or apartment in the center, working in a coworking space and having a basic meal three times a day. That's the average digital noma…

Can't seem to edit this with chrome, only with IE. Read-only in chrome.

Chiang Mai? You clearly haven't been there! It's nice for a holiday but not for living.

It's an incredibly popular place for startups and to work remotely. By far one of the most popular places I know. It's affordable, great international scene, decent internet, and large community. Still, I'm a bit tired of how many people I know move there to work remotely.
