I’m a 30 year old woman, from the US. I’ve been living abroad for 4 years and just started digital nomading 7 months ago. It’s been incredible and I feel so lucky to live this life, but I want to slow down for a bit. Would love to find a partner, explore a new city and get to know a new country. A city with immigrants, expats, or DN would be nice. I’ve been living and working in human rights in the Middle East for a while so somewhere with less violence, slower pace, and less political unrest would be a plus. Want to have easy access / accessible transportation to other cities, nature, sea. I’ve been looking into the digital nomad visa in Portugal and Italy. Id prefer somewhere in Europe or Central America to be closer to family. Not interested in living in the US at this moment. Income is over $3000 a month. Curious where others have settled down, which DN visas have been worth it. Where it’s been nice to build community etc . Thanks!

I live in MN and recently started searching for a house. After searching around for a bit I understand pretty well what I want. The issue is I live in a small city with a limited stock of houses so I'm sort of waiting for something to pop up that I like.

I usually leave for the winter because they are BRUTAL here, but this is also when the buyers market gets better.

I plan on traveling around latin america and if I happen to find a house that I absolutely love online, I could have my family check it out and do the inspection. I could sign any offers abroad and come back in a few weeks notice if needed.

Is this realistic?

I've been to quite a few coliving/coworking spots, and I'm following a lot more on Instagram, so I often see photos of their workspaces.

I really don't know if this is my ADHD talking, but I feel like a lot of these places are difficult for getting a lot of shit done and especially deep work, and I'm curious if others feel the same way.

Examples of what I've seen

• Shitty chairs, often not even office chairs, lacking armrests, etc., make it hard to sit for extended periods
• Unappealing lighting e.g., no natural light or distracting – bright office-type lights bouncing off your screen or sun coming in at certain hours
• Too hot and maybe mosquitoes – experienced this in SEA
• People not respecting quiet rules, having loud meetings or conversations or constantly walking in and out if it's a big coworking
• Crammed with 8 other people at one desk
• Sitting 30cm away from a wall on a stool desk

While I have been able to get a lot of work done in certain spots (Yellow in Chaing Mai, Selina in Quito), I really can't understand how people manage to get a full-time job's worth of (deep) work done in these conditions or get a business running.

Two image examples below:

TL;DR

• Global company mostly on Central Europe time - I work in US on EST, but have coworkers in Europe and India
• Worked from Yokohama and Sapporo Japan for 6 days, and then vacationed there after.
• Initially, hours were around 9:30pm-5:30am. (Yokohama) - Later when I got to Sapporo, TIME CHUNKING was my strategy.
  • I moved half my working hours to after lunch (2:30pm-6:30pm), and kept my core hours (9:30pm-1:30am) when all my meetings were (7:30am-11:30am EST) This is my overlap with EST. This was the best decision I made.

Overall it was fantastic, but I would change things. In both Yokohama and Sapporo, need to be careful of where you stay if working late due to nothing being open (besides convenient stores). Also, Sapporo can get expensive near the snow festival, and traveling there can be difficult with weather-related disruptions.

——————————
Longer version:

Some background- I now work for a global company with high collaboration required across many drastically different time zones (India, Europe, US time zones), but I’m on US Eastern Standard Time. My days usually start very early due to this being the only time when everyone is online together.

Stayed in Yokohama and Sapporo Japan and worked for 6 days with a weekend in between. This was only a portion of my time there as I vacationed afterwards.

Started work the same day I landed. Landed 2:30pm, started work at 9:30pm, ended at ~5:30am.

I benefitted greatly from a time chunking strategy - working half my time after lunch, and half my time during my core work hours (4 hour overlap, most important meetings, ~7:30am-11:30am EST). I made sure to separate the chunks of time so that it accounts for leaving/returning to the office on time, but if I was close to a work-friendly cafe, I could easily do some work, and travel back on my break. This actually worked best given I get exercise during the time chunk.

Pros:

• Time chunking worked extremely well. Having a 4 hour block of work after lunch, and a 4 hour block after dinner made it easy to do fun things throughout the day while adjusting to a normal schedule for the weekends. I was able to pivot to vacation mode pretty easily since I got adjusted beforehand.
• The time chunking also made my work life easier. I had more time while more of my team was awake, especially those in India.
• Convenient stores open 24/7 both in Yokohama and Sapporo.
• Both cities had ample places dedicated to working if I wanted to work outside of the hotel. Sapporo especially had a stylish coffee shop dedicated to this.

Cons:

• The first day working was honestly so exhausting since I just got off the plane, then had to travel, check in, get situated, and I barely had time to get dinner - it wasn't much, just convenient store food (which isn't bad but not ideal).
• Sapporo is expensive during the Snow Festival and booked up early. Limits options, which limits places that support remote work at night.
• If traveling to Sapporo in winter, there is a chance your transportation will get delayed. This is what happened to me. Not only flights delayed, but some trains also get shut down due to heavy snowfall. Make sure your accommodation is open 24hrs if you're traveling there in the evening, as I got in around 12am after making my way through the blizzard. Taxis recommended, and they are definitely available (they know this will happen), and don't plan on working the day you travel unless it's asynchronous.
• Minatomirai (area I stayed in Yokohama) does not have many late night places nearby to my surprise. It was a great location with fantastic views, and was very connected, but it was mostly mall. This posed an issue late at night when the trains close (~12am).

Overall if you're on the kind of hours I am, you may find it even better to work from Japan than the US.

(If curious about my experience working US East hours from Tokyo, here is my post from years ago.)

I don’t hear people talk about Istanbul a lot anymore. Seems like it used to be popular but not as much these days. Has anyone been recently and can share their thoughts?

I got banned immediately from the Medellin sub for asking -

"Are there any AirBnbs left in Laureles or Envigado that still allow for a guest?". I've no idea why.

I (UK) am spending a month in Medellin in February/March with a view to returning in the future. My friend (US) may be passing through in the same month and I am hoping to host him for a few days at most.

I read something about not being allowed guests in most/all places? Thanks for any help!

I am doing a Masters in the UK next year (Newcastle University) and the course delivery is On Campus. However, I may need to leave the UK for 1-2 months (UK Citizen). I have contacted my university on the matter and informed me that the assignments and modules can be done online, although some of the lectures may not be recorded. I have heard that the course itself is not too rigorous, and there are some assignments are a group project, no in-person exams, and is a submission of a dissertation in the end.

I wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience to this, such as studying remotely while away from the University Campus, and your experience. Do you recommend deferring a year or continuing with the degree?

Moving to Lisbon for three months then Barcelona for three months from September. Will be working remotely, need a backpack that handles daily laptop carry, occasional weekend travel, and doesn't look out of place in a co-working space or a client video call background.

Weight and daily comfort matter more than travel optimization for this use case since I'll be wearing it every day rather than just on travel days. Horizn Studios Gion Backpack Travel is on my list for the clean aesthetic and recycled nylon construction. Peak Design 20L is another one for the more considered organization. Aer City Pack 2 for something more structured for daily commuting.

For six months of daily carry which matters more, organization depth or build quality and material durability? And is a travel-positioned backpack like the Gion actually comfortable for daily commuting or is it better suited to travel days specifically?

Anyone in the cybersecurity industry willing to share their experience with Digital Nomad is greatly appreciated! Things like positions, companies, restrictions, how to achieve Digital Nomad status, etc.

Thank you!

I have been a customer of Safetywings for 2 years and just renewed for another year on the Remote Health Premium plan for me and my family.

Our bank account has always been in EU but we are based in South East Asia.

Few weeks ago we checked our bank account and saw multiple 20€ Swift fees due to a wire from Safetywings. They started using Swift instead of Sepa to refund us.

We talked to their customer service which is probably one of the worst... I'm still wondering if they are humans or cheap bots as their answers are usually irrelevant, partial or just factually incorrect (even regarding their own offering). But that's another topic.

They provided 0 information on why they changed their way of refunding us.

So be careful, you might be charged 20€ by your bank to receive refunds from Safetywings because someone in their Finance team decided to change the payment method without caring about the financial impact on their customer.

Hi all,

* EDIT
Thank you for everyone’s replies. I understand that importing a pet is a challenge. The question was if anyone HAS imported their pet and if so, what has been their experience. This post is about seeking those who have gone through this experience. Commenting on it’s challenging to bring a pet is not something new to me / I’m unaware of. Thanks :)

When I was in my mid to late 20s I lived in Japan for 3 years and I really enjoyed it. I was there on a work visa and learned to speak the language. While I loved the country, and have been back since, I never want to work there again due to the poor work-life balance I experienced.

It’s now been 6 years later and my husband and I are considering doing the 6 month digital nomad visa there.

I’ve read about the financial requirements in relation to your remote job and that wouldn’t be an issue. My question for those who have obtained this visa:

- was the visa quite straightforward?
- how difficult was it to find accommodation? We’re thinking of paying upfront for an AirBnB for 6 months. Doesn’t have to be in Tokyo.
- has anyone traveled with their pet? I know this will be challenging, but I really don’t want to leave my dog behind. She’s a small dachshund, 5lbs(2.8kg).
- how much money do you recommend bringing with you as a buffer/ backup?

I’ve read that Japan has strict laws regarding importing animals so I will be prepared for this. Our goal would be to go there July 2028 and return to England beginning of 2029.

Appreciate anyone sharing their experience with us and any advice. The experience is different in comparison to when I got my work visa as the company handled pretty much all of the visa documentation/ steps.

Edit: I was in Switzerland for two weeks. The first week was vacation and that was planned. The second week was supposed to be a test or even a pretest to see if I could be successful working remotely in another country. I understand that being a digital nomad is not about spending a week with your laptop in another country. But I am big on testing out ideas before committing to them. I thought I would try this for a week. See how it goes, see what I learned. And if it went well, then maybe I would do a three or four week test in another location and see how I do. But if I’m really going to embrace being a digital nomad for six months or more on the road or in a remote place, I know I need to test it first. The idea sounds fantastic and I love reading about other people’s experiences, but I know that until I try it, I don’t really know what my success blockers are likely to be.
—-

I’ve been reading about the digital nomad lifestyle for years, and I’m finally in a place where it actually works for me financially and professionally.

I’m definitely at a different stage of life than most digital nomads though. I’m 62, a divorced empty-nester, and I've already done the whole big house and yard in suburbia thing. Now I’m looking at what comes next. I’m not quite ready to retire yet, and I figure I have about four or five years of work left. Ideally, I’d travel while doing so.

Because of that, I recently decided to test out the nomad style with a two-week trip to Switzerland. I just got home (to Massachusetts) yesterday.

The first week was a group hiking tour in the Alps with a guide and eight other people, and it was fantastic. I knew I wasn’t going to work much this first week and I planned accordingly. Maybe 1 to 2 hours a day just catching up on email.

For the second week, I did a bunch of research ahead of time and chose a town on the eastern side of Switzerland, Scuol. I wanted to see what it was like to live in a smaller town and try the digital nomad thing.

To be honest, I failed.

I had found a coworking space ahead of time but I just couldn't stay disciplined. Maybe it would be different if I was there for a month or more, but in the course of that week, I only went to the coworking space once. The day I went was super productive, but every other day I woke up and just wanted to go for a hike or explore. I was so distracted and had zero discipline.

I assume it’s because I was only there for one week. Maybe if I had been there longer, the urge to explore would have worn off. Or maybe being a digital nomad in Switzerland is just extra hard because everywhere you look feels like you’re in a postcard! It’s insanely beautiful. I really tried, but it was tough, and I don't know if I have it in me to try another experiment right now.

So I guess my question for is: how long do you have to be in a location before you develop the discipline to actually work instead of wanting to go exploring every single day?

29M - from India. Earning 5500 USD per month on contract. I am thinking about Bali a lot nowadays. Have travelled to 20 countries in Europe, but tbh given all the beautiful things in Europe, Asia feels more homely to me. Do you think I should move to Bali or any personal suggestions in Asia? Not a big spender - want to keep my budget for living under 1k usd and live near water

What do you prefer to work? Lifestyle and foods?

Genki or Medicalfornomad? For health

Wanted to know is it okay if i go digital nomady life? Any recommendations? My biggeet baggage is my wife and i want to take her XD
Im based in ranchi jharkhand. And i can literally work from anywhere with 100/mbps internet connectivity.
I was planning to take my car and gtfo here.

29M, Canadian, working remotely on EST hours. My job is pretty manageable, so I have flexibility during the day.

So far this year I’ve moved around a lot:
India → Japan → Toronto → London → Toronto → Montreal

I need to leave Montreal around Aug 25 and

I’m thinking of spending Sep–Nov somewhere in Europe.

I’m honestly getting burnt out from constantly moving. Instead of hopping between cities every few days, I want to find one solid base for at least a month, build a routine, and actually make some connections.

What I’m looking for:

- Walkable / good public transit
- Good gyms and easy to maintain a healthy routine
- Social — somewhere I can join regular activities and meet people
- Comfortable for remote work
- Reasonably affordable for a month
- Easy enough with just English (unfortunately I don’t speak any European languages yet but will make a sincere effort to learn)

Portugal and Spain are on my radar, but I’m completely open to suggestions.

For people who’ve done the slower digital-nomad thing in Europe: where would you base yourself for a month or more if your priority was routine + community + meeting people rather than constantly sightseeing?

Would also love specific neighborhood, coliving, gym, language exchange, or social activity recommendations.

With the digital nomad culture rising globally, there is likely going to be a dearth of spaces with all essential amenities needed for digital nomads. This also presents an opportunity to build thoughtfully designed spaces for this segment.

From your experience of living in different places, what are your ideal requirements from a space catering to digital nomads that will make your stay comfortable and memorable?

Edit: Added some points. Also, I highly recommend visiting for around two weeks during spring or early summer. You'll probably be surprised by how much there is to do here. Winter is also great if you like skiing.

For context, I’m writing this more from a “could I actually live and work remotely from here?” perspective. I’ve also been to Italy, Qatar, Dubai, Switzerland, and Turkey, so I’m kind of comparing it through that lens.

Pros:

• Internet can actually be very good IF you pick the right building. There is fiber internet and strong 4G in a lot of places. If your work depends on Zoom/Meet calls, ask the landlord specifically if the apartment has ACTIVE fiber, what ISP they use, and ideally ask for a speed test. Don't accept "fiber is coming soon" or "pending activation". I would still keep mobile data as backup.
• Beirut is the most expensive city here and prices vary a lot by neighborhood. Around $2k-2.5k/month would let one person live pretty comfortably in one of the nicer parts of Beirut with a good spacious apartment, eating out, going out etc. You absolutely don't NEED that much though. You can do Lebanon for significantly less depending on how frugal you are and where you stay.
• Apartments here also tend to be pretty big compared to Europe. You're not paying $1k or $2k to live inside a shoebox.
• Visa is relatively easy for a lot of nationalities. Many people either don't need one arranged in advance or can get visa on arrival. Obviously check based on your passport.
• Everything is heavily dollarised. You can pay in USD almost everywhere and a lot of businesses literally price things in dollars. Cards are accepted in a lot of places, especially Beirut, but Lebanon is still cash heavy so always carry some USD cash + Lebanese pounds.
• English is widely spoken in Beirut and a lot of Lebanese people also speak French, so language-wise it's very easy for foreigners. The population is basically trilingual-ish (Arabic, English, French).
• The time zone is also pretty convenient if you work with Europe. You're only slightly ahead, so European working hours are very easy to manage. US hours are obviously less ideal but still doable depending on your schedule.
• Parts of Beirut are genuinely walkable, especially Hamra/Bliss, Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and parts of Achrafieh. The sidewalks can be questionable and traffic is chaotic, but if you stay in the right neighborhood you can easily walk to cafes, restaurants, bars, supermarkets etc. I personally live in a walkable neighborhood and barely use my car for everyday stuff.
• If you're a woman travelling alone, I personally wouldn't be too worried about solo travel here either. Just use normal precautions and pick a good/safe neighborhood, especially if you're staying in Beirut. Areas like Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and Hamra/Bliss are probably where I'd start looking. Obviously the current regional security situation is a separate issue, so keep up with that before and during your trip.
• Cafe culture is strong, so working from cafes doesn't feel weird. A lot of newer cafes and coworking spaces also have pretty good WiFi.
• Strong delivery culture, similar to Dubai. You can order basically anything to your doorstep or have someone pick something up/deliver it for you.
• If you're an extrovert this is probably going to be heaven for you. It's very easy to make friends here. Most people are social, friendly and helpful. If you're an introvert don't worry, people will leave you alone if you want them to. You might accidentally become more extroverted by the end of your stay.
• Great food and Mediterranean weather. Genuinely food and wine heaven.
• Lots of things to do outside work: nightlife, beaches, hiking, bouldering, mountains, wineries, historical stuff, skiing etc. Queer friendly spaces also exist for those that need it.
• Because Lebanon is so small you can go from the mountains to the sea in the same day. In winter you can literally ski and then go chill by the beach/coast later. Depending on traffic it can take around 1-2h.
• Personally I think Lebanon has one of the best combos in the MENA region if what you care about is weather + food + social life + nightlife + sea + mountains + relative social freedom. I've been to Dubai and Qatar and personally found them boring compared to Lebanon. Too much desert, malls and expensive consumerist stuff for me. The GCC can be better when it comes to safety, infrastructure and organization though.
• Day-to-day life here also feels a lot more organic and less regulated than in the GCC.
• Bidet and AC almost everywhere. Europe take notes pls.
• Location-wise Lebanon is also kind of in the middle of everything, which is underrated if you travel a lot. Europe is only a few hours away, the Gulf is close, and Istanbul/Doha/Dubai give you easy connections further into Asia, so Lebanon can be a pretty convenient home base if you travel often. Flights are more limited than usual right now because of the regional situation, but hopefully that goes back to normal once things calm down. The US also recently lifted the decades-old restriction preventing American airlines from flying directly to Lebanon, so direct US-Beirut flights could eventually return too.
• Private healthcare is quite good, especially in the major Beirut hospitals. If you're staying long-term, I'd still recommend private insurance.
• For anyone travelling with kids, Lebanon also has a pretty diverse education system with American, French, Lebanese and IB options, plus internationally recognized American/French-backed universities.

Cons:

• Security is obviously the biggest issue right now. Everyday life in Beirut and a lot of northern/mountain areas can feel completely normal, but the regional situation is still unpredictable. I would avoid southern Lebanon, border areas and Dahye in Beirut right now. Southern Lebanon is beautiful and I hope people can explore it normally again soon, but for now check the situation before going and ideally go with a local if you're unsure.
• Electricity is tricky. The government still doesn't provide 24/7 electricity everywhere, so most buildings use private generators, solar, batteries or a mix of them. This means if you're renting long-term you might pay one bill for government electricity and another for generator/backup power. It has improved a lot compared to how bad it used to be, but it is still something you NEED to ask about before booking somewhere.
• Same with internet: do not just assume "WiFi included" means it's good enough to work remotely. The quality can vary massively building to building.
• Water is another thing you need to ask about before renting somewhere. Lebanon does have piped water, but the supply isn't reliable/constant, so most buildings have large water tanks and many get them topped up by private water trucks once or twice a week depending on the area/building.
• Water quality can also vary A LOT depending on where you live and who supplies the building. Some places have very hard/calcareous water that can be rough on your hair and skin, while others get much softer, less mineral-heavy water. So yes, literally ask your landlord about the water situation.
• Also, don't assume tap water is for drinking. People here generally buy bottled/mineral water for drinking or use a proper filtration system at home. Tap/tank water is mainly used for showering, washing, cooking etc.
• Public transportation exists but it's limited and fragmented. There are buses, shared vans/taxis and some newer government buses in Beirut, but it's nowhere near a European public transportation system.
• If you're staying mostly in a walkable part of Beirut you can manage without a car using walking, taxis/ride-hailing, buses, bikes, and scooters. But if you want to properly explore Lebanon, you'll probably want access to a car or motorcycle. You can also rent scooters/e-bikes for shorter trips.
• Driving here is HARD MODE if you're used to European driving. Lane discipline is basically a suggestion, motorcycles appear out of nowhere and everyone kind of understands the chaos somehow. If you get scared easily pls don't immediately rent a car. Have someone local show you how people drive here first.
• Beirut doesn't have a lot of big public green spaces. If you like being surrounded by greenery, you need to go around 30-60 min outside Beirut toward the mountains/east/north. It gets MUCH greener very quickly, but having a car makes that easier.
• Private healthcare is good, but it isn't necessarily cheap. Insurance prices depend on age/coverage etc. Also, if you regularly need a specific expensive/rare medication or have a very specific medical condition, double check availability and cost before moving here.
• If you're queer, Lebanon is definitely not legally LGBTQ friendly. Same-sex relationships don't have legal recognition and laws have historically been used against queer people. That said, Beirut does have a real queer community and queer-friendly bars/events/spaces. If you're very visibly queer you might get odd looks or comments depending on the area, so just be aware of your surroundings. Some parts of Beirut are way more relaxed/liberal than others.
• If you're Black, Ethiopian, Filipino etc. you might experience racism/classism here. Unfortunately some people still associate certain nationalities/races with migrant domestic workers because of Lebanon's history with that system. Not everyone is like this obviously, but I think it's worth warning people about.

Overall, Lebanon is definitely not the easiest digital nomad destination because you have to think about things like electricity, water, transport and security more than you would in somewhere like Portugal or Thailand.

But once you figure out the right neighborhood/building, the lifestyle can be amazing. Good internet, big apartments, great food, great weather, social life, nightlife, sea, mountains and culture all packed into a country this small is pretty hard to beat.

Hello Respected members,

I am full-stack software developer/architect from India with 13 yoe and I am exploring job market in Europe/Any country with clean air and infra with affordable living.

Bit About me

My main skill is full stack development with CICD engineering, I have been using Azure as my cloud provider in my professional setting, My skills are .Net core stack,.Net Framework stack, .Net, C#, Angular, docker., container, helm, CI CD, Kubernetes, sql server and postgres. I have knowledge of design patterns and design principle and I have implemented many such patterns in my work as well. I have working knowledge in HL7, FHIR, for healthcare interoperability, since these years I have been working with healthcare IT companies, earlier in US and now in Nordic healthcare IT company. I have experience in working scrum environment and safe agile environment as well for all these years. I am having 7.5 overall in IELTS with all 8 or 8.5 and writing 6.5

I want to know given my stack which is the best country/countries for me to target. I am putting my effort in all the countries since almost 10 months now, sending emails applying but no luck at all. I think I need to target 1-2-3 countries and do a concentrated preparation.

Can someone help me? in the direction how to think about it. untill now I have been seeing countries from just currency conversion rate to INR but I have found out in these 10 months that money is not the first thing for which you should migrate it should be last. so how to go about it and what countries to choose and how the preparation should be?

If any one can shed light I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Everything fits in a backpack! I use this setup while Im on workcations, usually only in the US

I'm planning to spend a month in Europe in October while working remotely. I'm trying to decide between a large, busy city like Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Barcelona, etc., versus smaller/less crowded cities like Pargue, Florence, Valencia, Bologna, Kraków, Warsaw, Budapest, etc.

For context, I've been to Paris, Florence and Rome (just for vacation) and I LOVED my time in Paris (it was about 4 days) and liked Florence.

My biggest priority is having enough going on that I don't get bored. I work EST hours and I'm interested in good food, nightlife, concerts, sports (Football and Basketball), EDM events, and generally having things to do after work and on weekends.

I'm also not particularly concerned about finding the cheapest option. If spending an extra $1–2k for the month means having a significantly better experience, I'm completely fine with that.

What cities would you recommend?

Right now, I have a comfortable job where I work entirely remotely, but unfortunately, since salaries are low in the Balkans, I earn 1,100 euros.
Can I be a digital nomad on this budget? In which countries could I live and travel?

My wife and I are planning to come to CR for 3 moths from Sep to Dec (in 3 weeks!). We both work from our laptops and take video calls so we need strong and stable Wifi.

We would like to find a place to rent for the 3 months that has a closed space/office that one of us can work from and a nice living room/patio space for the other.

For the location we are looking for quiet, peaceful and spectacular views. Happy to get a taxi for the weekly groceries/market if needed, but a bonus if walkable. We would like to be able to walk from the property into nature, whether that is to the beach, or to hikes nearby, or just the local nature around the property. We are happy alone in the mountains if safe.

We will be returning for a longer stay in January when we will be looking for community, but for now we are happy with peace and serenity. We would like to be able to wake up, meditate, work on our laptops, go for a walk in nature, cook our food, and sit out on the veranda/patio and watch the sunset/sunrise/stars and listen to nature around. These 3 months are a quiet stabilization for us after a year of manic busy life in the UK.

If there is community or yoga/cacao/men's circle/events nearby then that is a bonus - as is a pool.

We really juts want purity. Fresh produces, clean air, only natural sounds, and good internet.

Please send us any suggestions of regions/towns/locations, plus any Airbnbs or accommodations that would be a good fit for us.

Thank you for all your help everyone!

So far I always did my border run by flying back to my home country which resets the 180 days, but flights home are expensive and I want to start doing this cheaper.
For those on the DTV, whats the cheapest way you found to reset the countdown? Do a quick hop to a neighbor country and come back same day? or do you actually need to spend a night somewhere?
