Hi. I'm a Digital Nomad living in Georgia for about 2 months now. Rent is not right. No, you don't find these kind of condos for 300-400$ a month on Airbnb. Maybe in Batumi. In Tbilisi, you gonna find only some crappy ones at this price range. Decent condos are more towards 500$ to 700$/month. Meals for 1$-2$? Not at all. It's more towards 7-10$ per decent meal. People are not that friendly. Of course you find some gentle human beings, but most of them (based on my experience) are kinda rude with foreigners. Nature is beautiful and you have a lot to explore. Bolt (similar to Uber) is really cheap. I didn't find a large digital nomad community here, even if I go to coworkings spaces. No hate at all, just to let you all know what the current situation is. I got here with some expectations and to be honest I got disappointed. Peace ✌
I'm from Brazil and currently based in Cambodia. I'm still deciding where to go next. You should definitely go to Brazil, check out Florianopolis, a beautiful island in the south, great weather, great vibe, good waves, good food, lots of nomads
Oi, sou do RJ do brasil. Trabalho horario brasil remoto, voce tb? to pensando em ir para tailandia, n sei se fica cansativo trabalhar de 19 as 4, como vc faz?
Hey, man. Small tip/request: please show the names of the cities you name on screen as you say them. This is helpful for countries like Vietnam, where the spelling isn't obvious and for people hard of hearing. Thank you for the vid, it's been really useful in my research.
Vietnam is top of my list, great choices! The only thing that concerns me with Turkey are the geopolitical issues at the moment, but having flown through Istanbul, I am excited to visit when I can!
Totally agree in Thailand because I also have visited this country to film one of our TV show episode and I absolutely love it! When it comes to beaches, Thailand didn't just set the bar; it is the bar. White sands, turquoise waters, and coconuts that are basically the unofficial mascots. It's a place where 'Sawasdee' means both 'hello' and 'get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
has barley really changed since covid? i went there a few times in 2018 and 2019 and was already very touristy but seemed to still have a lot of local culture and be very harmonius. kinda like all the modern amenities and social opportunities of being in a city whilst actually being on a rural tropical island, which is quite unique.
Tulum was full of scammers, food was very expensive (15$/ 3 tacos) and uber / grab is not existent and taxis wanted to get 25-35$ for a 10min. ride. I would avoid Tulum..also every bathroom had cartel members selling drugs (even high end beach clubs / restaurants). Peru (Lima) was really nice. Buenos Aires was ok, lots of food options and decent folks. But the food gets tiring after a week as we eat steaks pretty much every day.
We are in Brazil now, and lot of folks don't now about Florianópolis (beach side) which can be a nice destination. I find Brazilians to be more accomodating compared to Argentina / Colombia.
Sweet video man, I’m a digital nomad heading to Chiang Mai end of this month, I’m looking to adventure onward from their, keen to hear which of those places mentioned you liked the most.
As a brazilian, i recommend Florianopolis for nomads. Its much safer than Rio, its a lot cheapier and in my opinion even more beautiful. The only problem is that in the winter can get cold, different than the northeast where is always hot. Really like your video, best wishes if you come to brazil and wants more info send me a message.
As a digital nomad I left Argentinia for these reasons: - Food is generally NOT good (except Burgers, Steaks and Empanada, but cant eat them everyday) - Cost of Accomodation is higher then in other places I was, like Paraguay, Montevideo, and Asia - Uneffective Money Management: because of the high Inflation most people use Western Union instead of Card Payment or Cash. This way you save up to 50% of government Tax on your daily spending. But: if you get your weekly budget in cash, you need a money transporter (because 100 USD equivalent in their currency are around 200 Bills). So you choose to go every day to Western Union to deal with an amount that suits into your laptop pocket. But: you quiet often wait up to 45 Minutes in the long lines in front of Western Unions… - Women are generally limited to 1 - 9. So you have to lower your standards as a guy. - All streets are in squared order. This means; Every 80m you have to cross a red line and wait there until it is green light to cross the street. Makes a short walking distance a thing of a half an Hour.
I spent 6 months in Mexico as a digital nomad, 1.5 months in Buenos Aires, 1.5 months in Medellin, 1 month in Bogota, 1.5 weeks in Rio. My favourite city was Mexico City but it's very expensive now like $1600 per month. I like Buenos Aires as well but seems to be a damper in the city due to the inflation problems with their currency. Also, some things are extremely expensive and things just run very slowly. You can only take out $40 USD in cash at a time which is not realistic. The government actually makes it difficult for you to spend money. Had to use Western Union, for the first time in my life. Love the cafes and has a good nomad scene. Airbnb is like $600-$800 per month. Planning on going back to both in a couple months. LOVED Medellin too but Bogota has 10x better food than Medellin, just a heads up.
Cape Town, South Africa, is the best of them all. Load shedding is over (there will be no LS in 2024). Fantastic people, great value for money, time zone is perfect, the service level is top-notch, food is fantastic!
Great video! Glad you're going to see Argentina. They call themselves Argentinos. You'll probably want to bring dollars or euro. If you are going to change them for pesos, they prefer newer $100 bills at the cambios. Which are often NOT open on weekends. Going to Buenos Aires? The recommended gringo neighborhoods are Recoleta or Palermo for a reason! Hope you have a great trip. Also, I really liked Portugal near Porto (but on the beach) and Malta, though not in the winter time. Georgia sounds great! I'm thinking Dutch Antilles next.
Very useful information. I'm not sure Mexico's so cheap anymore. I was there in August, and prices had increased significantly. I'm not sure about the visa situation in Vietnam, check first. I know their now issuing a three-month visa but I'm not sure it can be renewed, although visa runs are possible. I've been to all the countries you've mentioned, and they're all great. Love Brazil, you must go. You should check the political situation in Turkey since it's very close to Israel and Palestine, otherwise, it's a great country.
@@TheLifeOfJord True, the Mayan Riviera is expensive compared to a place like Oaxaca. If you go to less-known destinations, it's still quite cheap. It's the real trendy places like the PV area, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Cabo that are pricy. A place like San Cristobal de las Cases is beautiful and still fairly cheap. Morelia is also nice and cheaper and closer to major sites in Mexico. Unfortunately, nomads and retirees tend to head for the same places and push up prices significantly.
Hey man I’m about to head to Mexico, deciding between Tulum, Vallarta & Escondido - any suggestions? Looking for community, health & fitness, surfing/beaches & reliable wifi. Any ideas appreciated!
Vallarta matches those 3 the best, there are great surfing beaches nearby though not in the city. You might like Playa del Carmen although the surfing waves are small due to the reef. Quite a lot of places in Mexico for surf if you're willing to skip the "digital nomad community." Some love Puerto Escondido but internet is still an issue in 2024. You might like to stay in Oaxaca City and visit Puerto Escondido, the new highway has shortened the trip between the two.
@@OOOUZ No thanks. I like my free electricity for AC and mining. I may try working on cruise ships, or Air BNB in NYC, Vegas, and Vancouver, rather than go to 3rd world tourist traps.
Thailand is still king of the condos. Mine in BKK costs $360 per month, rooftop pool, nice gym, coworking etc. Around Bearing BTS or further you can get insane deals too for 1 year. Vietnam is sweet for price too....but no insane condos like bangkok, however i feel like in danang/hoi an its like half the price of Bangkok.
Yeah. IMHO Bali now is not competitive. Prices are not cheap and there are too many regulations. Lately there was even a tourist tax, as well as spa/massage taxes being increased.
Yes, it can be. You have to look for deals and be willing to explore. Tourist prices are geared towards American and Canadian budgets. I enjoy Europe for this reason, great value for cost in many places compared to Mexico.
Im sorry but videos like this is why the destinations end up like Bali😂😂😂😂 everyone is gonna go and then prices go up, locals will enjoy it for a while but then will not like you after destroying and raising prices! Exactly why Colombians are pissed off now
@@SkateSpace2012 If you like traffic jams, they don't get worse than Bali, especially Kuta and Seminyak. At least in Jakarta the traffic keeps moving and there are big roads. I remember sitting for an hour in Seminyak not moving an inch. Also everyone is much much friendlier in Jakarta than in Bali where they treat you as a tourist to be ripped off.
Sounds desperate - the big picture is that there are digital nomads building like the weather, ruining the climate for everyone, and living off being digital nomads. Yeah. Use the code to get 10% off.
You haven't been to Argentina yest you promote it?? It's enough for me. The second I heard you promoting the language app I understood that your video's first goal was to promote an affiliate link, like so many other youtubers do. So shamefull. TH-camrs have become the biggest scammers of the web. I will obviosuly block your channel.
@@capacitacionyconsultoriaes6319 the whole world have lots of places with amazing beach, food, culture too. Turkey for example. Mexico is very very dangerous - especially when someone will be located there for a long time.
Did I miss anywhere? Where have you enjoyed living and working from?
let me know below!

What about safety. I didn't feel safe in Medellin
How anyone could prefer Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi is beyond me

The Spanish in Argentina is very unique, I'd recommend watching Rebelde Way or something to get used to the accent and some lunfardo.

Is Nomadago on your radar at all? It's great for seeing where your nomad friends are and for finding coliving and coworking spaces
Thanks about the tips bro.
keep documenting your experiences living in places, they are very informative. maybe make a paid coaching plan?

I think it depends where in Mexico, there are definitely still 'cheaper' places depending on the level of luxury you want. Can't wait for Brazil!
