Over the past two years, I've been globetrotting while simultaneously working remotely. During this time, I've been searching for a solution to enhance my work efficiency while on the go. In my previous work environment, I was accustomed to using two large screens to view different materials simultaneously. However, during my travels, I couldn't carry such equipment with me, which has been a persistent headache.

I've tried various portable screens, but they were either too heavy or had poor image quality, failing to meet my needs. Until recently, I started using Scope Pro Monitor, a portable monitor that has completely changed the way I work.

Scope Pro Monitor offers multiple mounting modes, including standalone use, installation on the top of a laptop, side-by-side installation, vertical screen mode, and triple screen mode. The flexibility of these modes allows me to adjust the screen layout according to my work needs, significantly improving my work efficiency

In addition to its flexible mounting options, Scope Pro Monitor also boasts excellent image quality, providing clear display indoors and outdoors. This is crucial for someone like me who frequently needs to view documents and design drafts

Overall, Scope Pro is not only lightweight and portable but also powerful in functionality, providing me with an efficient work environment. Its introduction has greatly enhanced my work experience, allowing me to work efficiently anywhere, just like in the office.

Hoping to DN for one month, looking for an airbnb between $1000-1500usd a month.

Mexico:
I like it because it's a 1 hour flight from me. People really seem to hype it up so I'm really curious. The gastronomy is what I'm looking forward to the most, but the pollution and chaos kinda scares me. I'm hoping to go to Xochimilco, Chapultepec, Teotihuacan, museums, and markets.

MN:
Wanna go here because I've never seen snow and it's the closest thing to Finland without having to leave the country. Looking at Northern Minnesota. Was thinking of doing winter activities like snowshoeing, ice fishing, and maybe renting a cozy cabin for a weekend. I am also interested in what a big city like Minneapolis is like.

Hi, are there any websites that people usually go to when they are looking for travel advice.

Online travel communities or websites where KOLs/ tourists/ travellers share the reviews and feedback on places they visited so that people could gather more destination info and plan their trips.

Please let me know, thanks.

Hey everyone! I just got back from Argentina and am going to be in Europe starting in May. I know it’s the most popular/expensive time to visit, but I have to be there later this month so I may as well stay longer.

Anyway, I’m looking for some recommendations for a cheapish ($1000-$1500 monthly rent for a studio) destination.

I’m open to pretty much anything, although I’d like to start in Western Europe as I’ll be spending a good amount of time in Eastern Europe later this year.

Thanks!

I am looking for a portable monitor that is roughly the same size as a 16" macbook. I tried to go bougie and get SOTSU FlipAction Pro 16" but even though its the same size, when you set the resolution to the same as the macbook the text is fuzzy. Any suggestions for better monitors out there?

My wife has a U.K. based company . One of her British employees wants to move to the Czech Republic . She has no legal entity in the Czechia . 1-can she write him a contract in England that respects Czech labour laws 2-she is also struggling to find a British based insurer and HR company to cover Czech Republic . Any solutions ?

Anything else she should think about ? Thank you

This may be controversial so I understand if the mods don’t want it. I’m just genuinely curious. I also know polls aren’t allowed here, I’m asking about people’s experiences as much as their own leanings.

I find many people are very open about their beliefs irl, and the ones that aren’t open make it quite obvious anyway. I have my own perceptions on the 2 most common categories I’ve met but I’m wondering what other people experience.

What sorts of people do you encounter? Are there any common archetypes? Do you find specific mentalities lead that specific political views also lead to people becoming DNs?

Question regarding ITIN

Hi I am planning to start a cyber security consultancy. I plan to start a LLC in wyoming. We would be three shareholders in total, we all are foreigners. The LLC would solely operate remotely with employees based in my home country. The reasoning to opt for a LLC in USA is the relative cheap setup cost, better market opportunities, easier taxation and easier access to insurance and legal services. I am opting for one of those LLC registration companies.

I have been talking to a friend based in US, he told me to make sure to get a ITIN before getting the EIN of the LLC. He said that these services usually use fraudalent mechanisms to get the EIN of the LLC as without a SSN and ITIN, you can't get a EIN. Although searching on the internet, provided me with different opinions on this matter.

What is the truth in that?

Also can you please offer any other suggestions that you guys may have that could help me.

Thank you so much.

I want to target the US audience on tiktok from Poland so I want to buy the US based sim card. Do I have to register and activate that sim card or can I just put it in my phone and it will still make tiktok "think that I am from the US?"

I've spent a year or so based in CDMX and have had a blast. Instantly made too many friends to keep up with and found many opportunities and events to do so. I'm not normally the most social person but generally find it easier in LATAM to meet others, given the culture and language (I speak Spanish more or less). I'm now looking to go more south, considering BA for awhile and was wondering how porteños take on to foreigners. Are there any regular events or meetups or locations to easily make connections? Like language exchanges or something like that. I'd prefer trying to meet locals over staying in a gringo bubble.

I really like it here in Malaysia and I met someone I am dating now. I have a US passport and am about to hit my 90 day limit. Will I be able to leave and come back multiple times or are they strict here in Malaysia?

I am a single male 24, trying to go nomadic. One thing I am curious about is your typical monthly expenses.

I’m a 24 single male, I’d like a decent 1bedroom Airbnb to stay in in a safe/walkable area. I’d go out to dinner maybe 1-2 times a week and same with bars/clubs.

What would you expect my monthly living costs to be in the following? Buenos Aires Santiago Lima Rio Mexico City Panama City

I live in the UK, and I decided this year would be the best one to finally try out a digital nomad lifestyle.. so I did several things.

• Booked a ferry to Spain.
• Booked an incredible looking AirBnB in the Portugese countryside for 2.5 months, about 50 miles from Porto.
• Vaguely planned a route to spend a week or two traveling from northern Spain to the AirBnB.
• Booked a ferry from Spain to Ireland for afterwards.
• Moved out of my flat and on paper moved back into my parents house.
• Bought myself a decent gaming laptop (I use a desktop normally) and several other things I'd need.

There were many, many other logistics things I needed to figure out as well. All in all it probably took 4 months of preparation and planning. I moved out with no help, and sent most of my belongings in the post (don't have enough to bother with a moving van). I was so determined and excited at the idea of finally being able to experience all these new places.

My main form of transport is by motorbike. I've been riding for a long time and have done several European tours. I can carry a lot of luggage and the AirBnB has basically no public transport, so some kind of vehicle is a must. This is the bike fully loaded up. I had so much room even one of the panniers was left empty as I couldn't think of anything else I needed.

Well on Sunday I left for the ferry. It would have been easy for me to do the whole trip without a stop, but I was feeling thirsty so I stopped at a service station. On the way out while waiting to re-join the main road, I got rear ended by a car.

https://preview.redd.it/xq4cickahsxc1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e16d7261f25099dab76c33ba7e6303eab27d7317

Not only did they rear end me, they rear ended me HARD. They shunted me right into the main road. I went flying, my luggage went flying and was strewn out over the road as the pannier split open at the hinge. The back of the bike is completely smashed up and was leaking fluid. I started panicking once I realised I was on the ground of a 70mph road (thankfully no one was coming). No serious injuries and I didn't hit my head, though I got checked out at the nearest A&E. Just sore all over with some nasty bruises and waiting for insurance provided physiotherapy sessions.

So I'm back at my parents house recovering, feeling utterly despondent and not really knowing what to do. I can't go back to my flat. I can't really get on a flight because I'd be trapped without transport. I could cancel the AirBnB but I'd be out £1000 if I did.. not to mention the money lost from missing the ferry and cancelling the other ferry (travel insurance may cover this..). My insurance have provided me a courtesy bike but it has no luggage and is just generally inadequate. Plus I don't feel physically or mentally well enough to get back on a bike yet.

I know how lucky I am to have gotten out of this so well. I'm still incredibly upset about my plans being ruined.

I'm from the US and in the market for inexpensive dental work. I'm considering looking into braces or invisalign, along with other dental corrections in Colombia as I'd plan to visit the area for general tourism regardless or even Mexico. Anyone have experience of getting the procedures overseas and any experiences with cost and post check up in the US?

Or do you travel back and fourth between your home country and clinic location.

If you have any recommendations that are English only friendly I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I posted this in Spanish in the Buenos Aires sub but didn’t get any replies. That said, I was wondering if anyone here that has spent time in BA or currently lives there can recommend a great tango show? I’m taking my wife to Don Julio for her birthday but she wants to see a show as well.

Any and all recs would be greatly appreciated. My wife and I are going to Argentina for a month, so looking for some cool stuff to do while there. We’ll be in Mendoza, Iguazú Falls, Cordoba, and BA.

Thanks!

I need some tips to find rentals at fair prices on my trips. I only know Airbnb but I have doubts if there are others, I think Airbnb is very expensive. What do you use? Would you have tips on how to find cheaper rentals?

Getting around $8K monthly deposited into personal wise account for around 8 months. Have heard both end of the spectrum here. My question is around the regular deposits. Is this an issue same amount incoming each month with wise ?

If you own a car currently and plan to travel for a year, is there any service that would set you up with a potential renter? Seems like this is the kind of thing I'd just have to find someone individually for. But if you know of any services or exchanges I should consider that would be helpful.

Two I've already looked into but aren't a good fit are Avail (bad reviews and communication) and Turo (I'll be out of the country so can't micro-manage handing it off to multiple renters)

There was a really useful comment or post on here a few months ago outllining methods that work best - but I didn't bookmark it

When negotiating a lower price on Air BnB: what tactics work for you and what % of a discount do you ask for?

Do you say you'll keep the place clean, "see my previous reviews" or similar?

I will be staying a month so the Air BnB discount will already be applied, but I'm looking for another 15- 20% off

I was in Tokyo some months ago as a first timer tourist and was blown away. Now I would like to go back there sometime and stay for 1-2 months. I would like to ask you guys who have already stayed there, where in Tokyo did you stay and how/where did you manage accommodation?

About the area to stay in, during my time as a tourist I realized that it's absolutely not necessary to stay in the city centre. The public transport is so good, that even when staying very much on the outskirts of Tokyo, it will probably still not take more than half an hour to get into the city centre. And since its not the time to splurge on an expensive location for me right now, I would gladly take a cheaper & slightly bigger accommodation outside of Tokyo compared to an expensive & small one more in the city centre.

Do you guys know areas in Tokyo where that criteria would fit? An area to get a cheap-ish accommodation for 1-2 months, from where it's still possible to get into the Tokyo city in a moderate time.

Besides that, where can I find a longterm acomodation for a reasonable price? I was looking on airbnb and the prices were quite expensive there. Hoping there are better options for that than Airbnb.

I am looking to apply for the digital nomad visa for a year with my family. We are looking at Spain but do not speak Spanish so need a place where English is spoken a lot. Is there such a place? I can see a lot of English retired people love to Spain but where is good for a young family?

My wife wants a place where she can meet other mums who speak English as she is looking after our baby whilst I work. Where could be good for us?

I'm Colombian and can only stay for 1 month with the visa on arrival and extend another 30 days. I would like to live for at least 6 months in Jakarta or Bali.

• I've checked that I don't qualify for the nomad visa.
• I've seen that some people get into yoga studies; a Spanish girl has been living like this. Is it possible?

Hi, I live in a country where Wise does not operate. However, I recently started a freelancing work where I can only receive money on Wise. To tackle this issue, I have a trusted friend living in UK, where Wise lets you connect bank account to the Wise app, and I am opting to let the company to transfer my income to his account (which he does not use). I wanted to know if it's possible for me to log in that account on my phone/web in a different country (Pakistan) while simultaneously him being in the UK. Would that cause any fraud detection issues or as such or would it be completely harmless for me to do so.

I've been a digital nomad since September 2023 and so far I've been to La Reunion (French island), Bangkok (Thailand) and Da Nang (Vietnam).

La Reunion was a magnificent island, with no pollution and a heavenly setting, but very expensive for accommodation. Bangkok was much too big and polluted, even if it was very interesting in terms of activities (I wanted to try the big city experience), and Da Nang offers a very nice and inexpensive living environment, but unfortunately the city has a high level of air pollution.

My ideal destination would be a city with a nice beach to relax on, a low cost of living ($1500 a month max) and little or no air pollution.

Any places you'd recommend?

I have a package held up in Merida customs with a few credit cards and a bottle of lotion shipped via FedEx from the United States. I believe the lotion is the issue, but I'm being told by FedEx that the only way to release the package is through a customs broker. I can not for the life of me find a customs broker that will work with an individual package or a package that is already currently stuck in customs. Can anyone recommend?

In the US for now and would need to be connected the entire time I'm working because I need the company VPN to program. I'd like to be able to work from the beach or maybe a campsite this summer. Bonus points if it works internationally, but just focused on remote Wi-Fi access in the US at this point in my life. Many thanks!!
