Digital Nomad Developers

Do we have any digital nomads here?

Anyone fancy it? If so, which countries would you consider?

I’ve been toying with the idea for a while so curious to hear what others think. The whole covid thing has put me off a bit tho :lol:

I wouldn’t call myself a digital nomad right now (living in California) but I’ve taken “working vacations” to Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico (Baja, Yucatan Peninsula), and the Bahamas as well as many places within the US.

I’d recommend any of them, as well as Thailand (amazing street food!) and New Zealand.

That’s good to know, though all the documents/signs etc being in English in Belize is handy - is that what it’s like in the Bahamas too?

Sounds like you’re missing it Jaeyson! Go back - YOLO an all that :003:

That’s awesome Bruce! How long are you planning on doing it? Sounds like quite the adventure you and Maggie are having :smiley:
