As a Tunisian I feel obliged to put my 2 cents. The cost of life is pretty cheap around here ($500/month is the average salary for a teacher, the minimum income is around $200/m), and its getting cheaper with the decline of the tunisian dinar Vs $ & € I live near the cities of Sousse & Monastir, and i can share few thoughts: - rent for a decent apartement is about $300/m in the city and less than $200 outside - food…

Would you say that Tunisia is safer than Morocco? I visited Morocco a few years back and loved it; I wanted to extend my trip to Tunisia, but I was told by a few people that I wouldn't be as safe there as the larger cities aren't as focused on tourism as, say, Marakesch, Tangier, etc.

I dont see any reason why you wouldnt be safe. USA lifted the travel alert for Tunisia 2014. More than 6 million tourist entered Tunisia in 2013 (compared to 10M in morroco), the number is expected to be higher in 2014.

I like the concept for getting some new ideas, but it needs significantly more information to be useful downstream. Having been nomading around for the past year, there are things that are important to me (accomodation, gym, coworking, good food) that are made easier/harder by various factors (proximity to each other, cost, contract length, quality, etc.). There's no tool for that yet (albeit excellent blog posts, no…

I agree with this. I like the idea of the nomad list as a very quick high level and ranking system, but there are a lot of qualitative factors that I take into account when I move somewhere. I've found blog posts to be really helpful, but they're such a pain to find. It'd be nice if someone curated them.

Taipei is my top choice. The healthcare is excellent (and free) if you are a Taiwan resident.

I agree with Taipei. I lived there a few years ago, and I loved it. I'm contemplating going back there for a short stint. The one annoying thing, I remember, was that it was relatively annoying to find cheap short term housing (especially if you can't read Chinese).

I like the idea of the Nomad Guides, though I don't know what kind of value I would place on one. Perhaps, an alternative way to monetize would be if you worked out agreements in advance to sell Nomad Packages that covered all the basics for limited stays, which would minimize set up times and make arrival and departure painless. It would be nice if the current site included a better description of the NomadCost and…

+1 for a Nomad Package. I'd love it if someone met me at the airport with a pre-paid SIM card and suggestions for accommodation and public workspaces.

I see the value in this but can you make a section to match nomads with other nomads because I like to work and travel but do not like to go alone.

I don't know if I'm the first one to say this, but I have discovered that Sebastapol, CA, which is an 1.5 hours north of San Francisco, has fiber internet, and a significantly lower cost of living. Its also in a fairly beautiful and wooded part of Northern CA. O' Reilly Associates is based there. I'm surprised it isn't more jam packed with start ups. Oh yeah ... there is nothing to do there. So you will have to just…

Real estate prices in Sebastapol are still 3+ times higher than in most of the United States.

why not? 25 isn't all that hot.

Anything over 25 and I want to die... :) Good temperatures are between 18 and 22.

That's only 77 fahrenheit, for anyone else that was curious.

sdm, that's really not hot :). Where I live (southern US), highs over 37 celsius are not uncommon in July & August. You might melt!

Local main language should be included?

Or to be more practical for the anglo-centric HN audience, the percentage of population which can speak English.

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…

I'd be interested in additional info about statistical chance of diseases like Malaria, Dengue or other most common diseases in area

You are right. It probably only seems reasonable to my eyes because I live in San Francisco.

Perhaps Kansas City, with its Google Fiber and relatively mild climate, is a better option overall.
