The biggest question becomes: income taxes.
Any ideas how that will play out?

#32I had been hoping that this would eventually emerge from the nomad community - it's a great idea.
The inclusion of a moped or shared vehicle in each location would seal the deal for me.

#33Have you considered having some storage in the house that automatically follows you around the world as you move from place to place ? i.e. your belongings just turn up at the house you are currently staying in without you having to deal with shipping? Edit: to clarify/simplify
That's very high up the list, bulk shipping of standardized boxes is the favorite solution atm, but didn't do in-depth cost comparisons etc. Just was stuck for a few days in the Alps with the overhead bin luggage for Bali on the way back to SF, so i feel your pain. How would you prefer to have it handled?
maybe something like luggagefree? (https://www.luggagefree.com/)

#35I just don't dig the locations. I'm not going anywhere close to large groups of Muslim Extremists, or Narcoterrorists.
I guess I'm just spoiled by the relative safety of the US.

#36This is a really interesting idea, though maybe a bit too expensive and, ah, "hip" for my tastes. (Currently hopping from Airbnb to Airbnb flatshare, paying $1000 or less a month for housing with internet and utilities included. Would be even cheaper if I wasn't in Western Europe.) I've been thinking lately of where I would like to live for most of my late twenties and early thirties. I'm definitely a bit of a loner,…
Hey, thanks for the well thought out comment, the price point is for a certain group who wants total peace of mind not only in terms of internet speed etc.
http://nomadforum.io/ has some pretty diverse people, i'd ask people there, maybe someone knows someone who knows the perfect website-less place.

Something as automatic as possible would be dang neat.
If (as is likely) something 'magic' isn't feasible, the second best way would probably be to adopt the method used by some managed partial-ownership properties - everything goes into a luggage trunk that smoothly vanishes into storage upon leaving and is there and available on arriving, possibly along with some basic packing/unpacking of clothes and so on.
A mostly-painless way of dealing with insurance and the related listing of contents would best a must, as would some kind of interfacing with customs.

You're missing out on a beautiful world out there.

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely look into that. $1600 is actually pretty good for the "whole package", especially if it's in a cheaper country. I'd definitely consider it as a place to rest my weary feet for a few months (or... a year, or whatever the minimum lease is), especially if the house is really nice and has a good gender balance.

#40This is a neat idea, but seems quite expensive, also the price comparisons are a bit unfair.
I can't speak for NY, but in London, you could get a nice room in a shared flat for 890 GBP (=1356 USD) on the edge of first zone, so the commute (monthly Underground ticket for zones 1&2) would be a much more reasonable 130 GBP (=200 USD), far from 698 USD as listed on the site.
