What if you prefer colder climates? Not sure why the city should be penalized for it. High temperatures make me less productive.

#133Awesome idea -- Tim Ferris would love it.

#134Hi 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…
This is a fun and quite intriguing resource, but I'm skeptical of the NomadCost function. No way is is Berlin only 12% cheaper than London for a nomad. It's probably 50% or more.
And I'd estimate Dublin to be more expensive than he has estimated.

#135I knew that Chiang Mai would've been there surely.

#136Are there any good resources in getting the appropriate visa/permit to work in foreign countries? I just got the go-ahead to work remote and I'm looking into working abroad, but information on remote working and the appropriate visas seem few and far in between. To those that have done it, where do you look/who do you ask when looking for this type of information? Do you just get ahold of someone at the appropriate e…
I worked remote. In Canada at least they had no problem with me working on a tourist visa provided I wasn't doing any direct business in Canada - i.e. couldn't get hired, couldn't work out of a clients office etc. I had a 10-15 minute interview about it at customs, I was completely honest, and they were fine with it. As an Irish national I was allowed 6 months there just from filling in a form when I landed.

#138This comment will probably get overlooked, but how do you get into the "digital nomad" lifestyle? Basically, what kind of work allows you operate 100% remotely? Thanks.

#139Earlier quoted context omitted.
Renting a decent 1 bedroom apartment is about 350 dollars. 1Gbps costs 20 dollars, and it includes TV subscription (I think it includes HBO too), a fixed phone line and a 3G SIM card and/or USB stick. The cost of living is definitely less than 1000 dollars. After all the average salary in Bucharest is probably less than 1000 dollars per month, so we wouldn't be able to live here if it cost more, would we? :)
Bucharest confuses me. Walking around the city you see more luxury cars (mostly BMWs) per capita than almost any other European capital. But the median wage is 1000 Euros. None of the locals I've asked (friends, family, etc.) ever have a solid answer, so maybe the internet can help.
Luxury cars are not that expensive if they are very high on your list.
Tunisia is poorer than Romania, and if you visit the streets, you'll see tons of Mercedes, BMWs, Porsches... The local just want to have one and that is the reason.

#140I'm sorry but 2950 for living in Amsterdam for a month, that's insane.
