NOMADLIST HELPS YOU FIND REMOTE WORK-FRIENDLY CITIES, BASED ON YOUR PRIORITIES
Because I both work and travel, I choose destinations based on a few important things: Fast, reliable internet; food; general safety; culture; and foo — oops, I said that already. One of the key resources I use for learning more about a place before I go is NomadList, a handy resource that’s built for digital nomads or work-from-anywhere folks like myself.
A few things have changed since You can customise your search according to finer details such as budget, places without tourists, air pollution, attitudes toward LGBT and race, safety for solo female travellers, if you want to be near a beach, and so many more options that matter to the laptop-hauling traveller. This and The Earth Awaits are my go-to for getting a comprehensive bird’s eye-view of my work-related travel plans.
NomadList also features chats and forums to connect you with a lively and budding community of fellow remote workers

AIRLINE WEBSITES
Transportation is going to be one of your biggest expenses next to accommodation. The more frequently you move, the more you’ll spend on flights between countries (unless you are moving by land).
There’s no real quick trick or short cut behind booking inexpensive flights. It takes constant searching, booking far in advance and knowing a few key items:
- Open up all the websites you want to search (Expedia, Kayak, Triviago, skyscanner and even the specific airline websites for the region you are traveling).
- Sometimes you’ll find a deal within the aggregate booking sites, or you’ll get a good price on the airline website—it’s inconsistent, but looking at everything will give you a sense of where you are saving.
- If you can use the website’s calendar view, you’ll get a sense of what days are cheaper to fly (rule of thumb: midweek bookings will save you money, like flying on a Tuesday, as well as early morning or late night flights).
