]]> Do you have a remote or flexible job and want to spend some time overseas? If so, then there are several countries that offer visas that will allow you to work from abroad in your current remote role, thereby providing you with a unique opportunity to travel somewhere new and work at the same time.

Cayman Islands

Through its Global Citizen Concierge, the Cayman Islands allows entrepreneurs and business owners to live and work from this island paradise beyond the restrictions of a regular work or tourist visa. By becoming a Global Corporate Citizen, you’ll be able to work remotely from the Cayman Islands while enjoying some unique tax benefits and enjoying the freedom to come and go as you please.

Spain

Through its new digital nomad visa, the Spanish government is allowing travelers to stay and work in Spain on a one-year visa which is renewable for up to five years. If you happen to have a spouse or unmarried partner, fear not, as they can apply for the same visa to come along with you.

Canada

While yet to be launched, the Canadian government is working on a visa that will allow foreign nationals to spend up to six months in Canada while working remotely. What’s more, if you’re able to find a Canada-based job while you’re there, you’ll be able to remain in the country so long as you successfully apply for a work visa.

]]> Digital nomads are becoming the latest trend for the younger generations. If you are one of them, congratulations, you have scored a remote job, meaning you can explore the world and work from anywhere. Here are our top recommended places to go if you are a digital nomad. 

Lisbon, Portugal 

While Libon is an expensive city to explore, the city has tons to offer. Due to the modern infrastructure and easy lifestyle, we recommend visiting this city with beautiful weather, rich history, and beautiful attractions to visit. What is better is that Portugal has recently come out with a digital nomad visa, making it easy to visit and work there. This visa is also extraordinary for those seeking a more permanent residence. 

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Thailand is one of the most picturesque places to visit as a digital nomad. It has the perfect combination of work and play. The center of this city offers a modern co-working space surrounded by lush jungles and temples and a vibrant nightlife. After considering the cost of living there, it is easy to understand why it is regarded as the ‘nomad capital of the world’.

Mexico City, Mexico 

If chilled-out beach life is too slow for you, check out Mexico City. This city is busting with a rich culture, incredible food, and fun and exciting bars and clubs while also having some of the best coworking spaces. However, if you are traveling alone, it is crucial to be aware of the different neighborhoods and areas. Some areas of the city can be quite dangerous to travel to when you are alone.

]]> Emigrating from your home country and choosing to live as an ex-pat is a brave choice to make. While you certainly can’t plan everything ahead, and much of your experience is down to luck and good timing, some cities are objectively better suited for ex-pats.

In 2021, Taiwan, Mexico, and Costa Rica were ranked as the top three ex-pat destinations worldwide according to the Expat Insider 2021 survey. Taiwan ranked first out of 59 destinations for the third year in a row—most ex-pats living in the East Asian country are satisfied with their job security (83% vs. 61% globally), the state of the local economy, and their life in general (80% vs. 75% globally). Moreover, not a single ex-pat feels personally unsafe in Taiwan.

Mexico ranked second, and many participants noted they found it easy to settle down in Mexico and to make local friends. One ex-pat from the U.S. was quoted saying “the culture and friendliness of the local people” is their favorite thing about living in Mexico”.

The population of Costa Rica, which was ranked 3rd, was also described as generally friendly. All things considered, 88% of ex-pats in Costa Rica are happy with their life (vs. 75% globally).

Considering the fact that working remotely spiked in popularity as a result of the pandemic, we wouldn’t be surprised to see even more digital nomads and ex-pats giving these locations a try.

]]> If you haven’t heard of it yet, digital nomadism is a lifestyle that involves working while traveling, using technology to work remotely. Some people become digital nomads because it suits their jobs, but others do so because they want to be able to travel year-round. If you fall in the latter group, you may be wondering what jobs you can do that will work with this lifestyle. Here are some options worth considering.

Designer

Whether you’re a web or graphic designer, your skills are likely to be desirable worldwide and all the time, meaning you should have no problem finding both long-term and short-term freelance clients, as well as even full-time employers who will allow you to work remotely from wherever you choose.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFFOlQje7f/

Virtual Assistant

While it’s a fairly new job, virtual assistants pretty much do exactly what assistants have done for centuries: writing e-mails, making calls, scheduling appointments, planning meetings, arranging travel, and so on. The perk of this job is it’s meant to be done virtually, making it perfectly suited to digital nomadism.

Online Language Instructor

For a long time now, people who wanted to work and travel could lean on teaching English as a job option in nearly any country. The good news is the internet age has made this even easier, as foreign language instruction online is growing in popularity.

]]> The current pandemic is not ending anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean remote workers or digital nomads need to stay in their home countries. Many nations have opted to provide special work visas and permits for remote workers who have specific incomes. The regulations vary by country, but these three countries are actively welcoming nomads for a year or more. 

Barbados

This sunny island has created the “Barbados Welcome Stamp,” which gives digital nomads a 12-month permit to work and live in the country. There is a pretty hefty application fee of $2,000, and you have to make a minimum of $50,000 a year to qualify. However, this visa can be renewed, so you can stay for more than a year.

Bermuda

This sunny island, dotted with pink sand beaches, is offering its own digital nomad visa. The best part about this one is you don’t need a set income, and the application fee is only $236. Bermuda is an expensive place to live though, and accommodation can be hard to find.

Antigua and Barbuda

Another visa up for grabs here is the “Nomad Digital Residence” visa. The visa lasts for two years, and you must have an annual income of $50,000. The fee to apply is $1,500.

]]> When you first learn about the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably sounds like a dream. Are there really people who get to travel the world and work and earn money along the way? There are many of them, and they do many different kinds of jobs. Here are a few things about this lifestyle nobody tells you upfront.

It Can Be Very Hard

If your idea of a digital nomad life is to travel, take photos, post them on Instagram, and magically earn money from that, we have to tell you that the reality is typically more difficult. There are so many people trying this exact thing, and the number of those who succeed is terribly low. A digital nomad lifestyle requires you to do the actual work, spend hours every day on your laptop or phone, and that can get frustrating when you’d rather explore a new area instead.

Как вы там? Уже прошли тысячу курсов, научились играть на волынке и сели на шпагат? Или, как и я – наряжаете кота в костюм гуся? 😜 ⠀ С началом самоизоляции в моей жизни ничего не поменялось. Я так же просыпаюсь не по будильнику, завтракаю и сажусь за работу. Гуляю с собакой один раз в день. Пару раз в неделю закупаюсь продуктами на соседнем рынке. На выходных езжу на дачу. Разве что муж теперь постоянно дома 🙄 ⠀ Выходит, что карантин – это "пробник" удалённой работы. Если вы сомневались, стоит ли уходить во фриланс, то вот и шанс это проверить. Можете сидеть дома и не сходить с ума? Получается четко разделять свободное и рабочее время? А балансировать между дисциплиной и отдыхом? И, главное, делать это каждый день? Мой муж, например, уже в первые дни начал бегать по потолку и проситься на дачу 🤯 ⠀ А мне норм 🤓 Выбор в пользу фриланса я сделала ещё 10 лет назад и ни разу не пожалела. Одна мысль о раннем подъеме и дороге на работу вызывает у меня микро-истерику 🥴 ⠀ Расскажите, как проходит ваш “карантин”? Какие курсы прошли? Узнали о себе что-то новое? 😉 ⠀ #stayhome #фриланс

What You Can Do

There are so many options for remote work, and we’re just starting to be aware of them all. Chances are, if you’re thinking about adopting this type of life—you already have a job that could be done remotely, so consider starting from there. Make sure your boss trusts you, and be confident about doing the world independently before making the leap.

]]> Who among us does not dream of an endless vacation, working from the beach or a cafe somewhere far away? 

And yet, most people have not packed up their bags and moved to work from an endless vacation. Fact is, most of us still prefer to work from an office that has four walls, because it is just more convenient. Even working from home requires a lot of self-discipline and the ability to concentrate on work for long enough without distractions.

The good news is that today our corporate culture is starting to change for the better—especially in the technology sector—and many employers understand that in a few years it will no longer be possible to ignore employee’s demands not to be confined to their office chair.

Some lessons I've learned and mistakes I made as a digital nomad, freelancer, and remote social media manager this past year 👇 … ⠀ 😳💰 You are what you think you are worth. The mistake I made early on was UNDERCHARGING for my services. Because I was undercharging, I took on too many clients in order to meet the monthly quota of income that I wanted. ⠀ This led to a ton of juggling 🤹‍♀️ and stress on my end. Some days I would get a barrage of requests from my different clients. I was barely able to keep on top of all the work and also barely earning enough income! 🤯 Some days, my work would also be subpar due to all the juggling. So frustrating! ⠀ And of course, there was no sympathy from my clients. And even if there was, I didn't feel like I deserved it. After all, I was the one who suggested the price! Now it was my responsibility to follow through! ⠀ Finally, one day a potential client approached me and asked me for my prices. For once, I didn't tell them my rate, but asked them what they were looking for. They proceeded to give me a budget that was 6x what I was charging my current clients 🤯 ⠀ This experience completely changed my perception of what my services are worth and how I would like to work in the future. In the future, instead of working with a ton of small clients paying a small budget, I would like to work with a couple large clients whose products and services I believe in and that I can really focus in on so I can deliver good work! 💝💝 ⠀ Anyways, such some retrospective thoughts. Are you a freelancer? Would you like to be one? What has been your experience? ⠀ 📍 Nakhon Si Ban Na Homestay, near the Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport in South Thailand. Super cute, authentic homestay: a little hut made of bamboo perched over a small pond in a rubber tree plantation. Found it through Booking.com and chose it because of the all the positive reviews! Lovely place to stay for a night ☺ Cheers ⠀ 🖋MY BACKSTORY moved in 2019 to THAILAND🌴 to continue pursuing DREAMS of travelling the world🌎 and becoming a kickass digital nomad/online entrepreneur💻 and Muay Thai fighter🥊 What's your story? 😊

If this is your dream, try it out for a few months, and see if you can be effective while working remotely. Choose a destination you think is right for you in terms of time differences, and that you can combine personal life and work with.

Choose a place with good internet infrastructure, as well as access to regular flights in case you need to return to your country at short notice.

If it works, you can take a deep breath and start living the dream.

What is better is that Portugal has recently come out with a digital nomad visa, making it easy to visit and work there. This visa is also extraordinary for those seeking a more permanent residence. 

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Thailand is one of the most picturesque places to visit as a digital nomad. It has the perfect combination of work and play. The center of this city offers a modern co-working space surrounded by lush jungles and temples and a vibrant nightlife. After considering the cost of living there, it is easy to understand why it is regarded as the ‘nomad capital of the world’.

Mexico City, Mexico 

If chilled-out beach life is too slow for you, check out Mexico City. This city is busting with a rich culture, incredible food, and fun and exciting bars and clubs while also having some of the best coworking spaces. However, if you are traveling alone, it is crucial to be aware of the different neighborhoods and areas. Some areas of the city can be quite dangerous to travel to when you are alone.

]]> Emigrating from your home country and choosing to live as an ex-pat is a brave choice to make. While you certainly can’t plan everything ahead, and much of your experience is down to luck and good timing, some cities are objectively better suited for ex-pats.

In 2021, Taiwan, Mexico, and Costa Rica were ranked as the top three ex-pat destinations worldwide according to the Expat Insider 2021 survey. Taiwan ranked first out of 59 destinations for the third year in a row—most ex-pats living in the East Asian country are satisfied with their job security (83% vs. 61% globally), the state of the local economy, and their life in general (80% vs. 75% globally). Moreover, not a single ex-pat feels personally unsafe in Taiwan.

Mexico ranked second, and many participants noted they found it easy to settle down in Mexico and to make local friends. One ex-pat from the U.S. was quoted saying “the culture and friendliness of the local people” is their favorite thing about living in Mexico”.

The population of Costa Rica, which was ranked 3rd, was also described as generally friendly. All things considered, 88% of ex-pats in Costa Rica are happy with their life (vs. 75% globally).

Considering the fact that working remotely spiked in popularity as a result of the pandemic, we wouldn’t be surprised to see even more digital nomads and ex-pats giving these locations a try.

]]> If you haven’t heard of it yet, digital nomadism is a lifestyle that involves working while traveling, using technology to work remotely. Some people become digital nomads because it suits their jobs, but others do so because they want to be able to travel year-round. If you fall in the latter group, you may be wondering what jobs you can do that will work with this lifestyle. Here are some options worth considering.

Designer

Whether you’re a web or graphic designer, your skills are likely to be desirable worldwide and all the time, meaning you should have no problem finding both long-term and short-term freelance clients, as well as even full-time employers who will allow you to work remotely from wherever you choose.

Virtual Assistant

While it’s a fairly new job, virtual assistants pretty much do exactly what assistants have done for centuries: writing e-mails, making calls, scheduling appointments, planning meetings, arranging travel, and so on. The perk of this job is it’s meant to be done virtually, making it perfectly suited to digital nomadism.

Online Language Instructor

For a long time now, people who wanted to work and travel could lean on teaching English as a job option in nearly any country. The good news is the internet age has made this even easier, as foreign language instruction online is growing in popularity.

]]> The current pandemic is not ending anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean remote workers or digital nomads need to stay in their home countries. Many nations have opted to provide special work visas and permits for remote workers who have specific incomes. The regulations vary by country, but these three countries are actively welcoming nomads for a year or more. 

Barbados

This sunny island has created the “Barbados Welcome Stamp,” which gives digital nomads a 12-month permit to work and live in the country. There is a pretty hefty application fee of $2,000, and you have to make a minimum of $50,000 a year to qualify. However, this visa can be renewed, so you can stay for more than a year.

Bermuda

This sunny island, dotted with pink sand beaches, is offering its own digital nomad visa. The best part about this one is you don’t need a set income, and the application fee is only $236. Bermuda is an expensive place to live though, and accommodation can be hard to find.

Antigua and Barbuda

Another visa up for grabs here is the “Nomad Digital Residence” visa. The visa lasts for two years, and you must have an annual income of $50,000. The fee to apply is $1,500.

]]> When you first learn about the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably sounds like a dream. Are there really people who get to travel the world and work and earn money along the way? There are many of them, and they do many different kinds of jobs. Here are a few things about this lifestyle nobody tells you upfront.

It Can Be Very Hard

If your idea of a digital nomad life is to travel, take photos, post them on Instagram, and magically earn money from that, we have to tell you that the reality is typically more difficult. There are so many people trying this exact thing, and the number of those who succeed is terribly low. A digital nomad lifestyle requires you to do the actual work, spend hours every day on your laptop or phone, and that can get frustrating when you’d rather explore a new area instead.

Как вы там? Уже прошли тысячу курсов, научились играть на волынке и сели на шпагат? Или, как и я – наряжаете кота в костюм гуся? 😜 ⠀ С началом самоизоляции в моей жизни ничего не поменялось. Я так же просыпаюсь не по будильнику, завтракаю и сажусь за работу. Гуляю с собакой один раз в день. Пару раз в неделю закупаюсь продуктами на соседнем рынке. На выходных езжу на дачу. Разве что муж теперь постоянно дома 🙄 ⠀ Выходит, что карантин – это "пробник" удалённой работы. Если вы сомневались, стоит ли уходить во фриланс, то вот и шанс это проверить. Можете сидеть дома и не сходить с ума? Получается четко разделять свободное и рабочее время? А балансировать между дисциплиной и отдыхом? И, главное, делать это каждый день? Мой муж, например, уже в первые дни начал бегать по потолку и проситься на дачу 🤯 ⠀ А мне норм 🤓 Выбор в пользу фриланса я сделала ещё 10 лет назад и ни разу не пожалела. Одна мысль о раннем подъеме и дороге на работу вызывает у меня микро-истерику 🥴 ⠀ Расскажите, как проходит ваш “карантин”? Какие курсы прошли? Узнали о себе что-то новое? 😉 ⠀ #stayhome #фриланс

What You Can Do

There are so many options for remote work, and we’re just starting to be aware of them all. Chances are, if you’re thinking about adopting this type of life—you already have a job that could be done remotely, so consider starting from there. Make sure your boss trusts you, and be confident about doing the world independently before making the leap.

]]> Who among us does not dream of an endless vacation, working from the beach or a cafe somewhere far away? 

And yet, most people have not packed up their bags and moved to work from an endless vacation. Fact is, most of us still prefer to work from an office that has four walls, because it is just more convenient. Even working from home requires a lot of self-discipline and the ability to concentrate on work for long enough without distractions.

The good news is that today our corporate culture is starting to change for the better—especially in the technology sector—and many employers understand that in a few years it will no longer be possible to ignore employee’s demands not to be confined to their office chair.

Some lessons I've learned and mistakes I made as a digital nomad, freelancer, and remote social media manager this past year 👇 … ⠀ 😳💰 You are what you think you are worth. The mistake I made early on was UNDERCHARGING for my services. Because I was undercharging, I took on too many clients in order to meet the monthly quota of income that I wanted. ⠀ This led to a ton of juggling 🤹‍♀️ and stress on my end. Some days I would get a barrage of requests from my different clients. I was barely able to keep on top of all the work and also barely earning enough income! 🤯 Some days, my work would also be subpar due to all the juggling. So frustrating! ⠀ And of course, there was no sympathy from my clients. And even if there was, I didn't feel like I deserved it. After all, I was the one who suggested the price! Now it was my responsibility to follow through! ⠀ Finally, one day a potential client approached me and asked me for my prices. For once, I didn't tell them my rate, but asked them what they were looking for. They proceeded to give me a budget that was 6x what I was charging my current clients 🤯 ⠀ This experience completely changed my perception of what my services are worth and how I would like to work in the future. In the future, instead of working with a ton of small clients paying a small budget, I would like to work with a couple large clients whose products and services I believe in and that I can really focus in on so I can deliver good work! 💝💝 ⠀ Anyways, such some retrospective thoughts. Are you a freelancer? Would you like to be one? What has been your experience? ⠀ 📍 Nakhon Si Ban Na Homestay, near the Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport in South Thailand. Super cute, authentic homestay: a little hut made of bamboo perched over a small pond in a rubber tree plantation. Found it through Booking.com and chose it because of the all the positive reviews! Lovely place to stay for a night ☺ Cheers ⠀ 🖋MY BACKSTORY moved in 2019 to THAILAND🌴 to continue pursuing DREAMS of travelling the world🌎 and becoming a kickass digital nomad/online entrepreneur💻 and Muay Thai fighter🥊 What's your story? 😊

If this is your dream, try it out for a few months, and see if you can be effective while working remotely. Choose a destination you think is right for you in terms of time differences, and that you can combine personal life and work with.

Choose a place with good internet infrastructure, as well as access to regular flights in case you need to return to your country at short notice.

If it works, you can take a deep breath and start living the dream.
