ehh, not really. just the odd meeting or two. most my work is done offline. and depending where you're at the time difference isn't all that weird. in spain nobody goes out to eat till 9 or 10 anyways. if your in LATAM the time diff is negligible. 

>can't go out to drink or coom inside some hot locals

why not?

not really, you just get an apartment in a nice part of town that has a door man or puts you on the second or third floor. finding accommodation is a skill issue.

Because most friendships are superficial. Very few people will really help you when you need it most, and these are mostly family and childhood friends. I made friends on a regular basis as a backpacker, especially because we lived under the same roof and shared pretty much all the facilities, meaning to also spend plenty of time together. There are various people I spent a couple of days with and would consider better friends than colleagues I spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for months with. And the biggest difference is that I would have to earn more money at home to cover my living costs, resulting in a full time job with little time and energy for friendships

A lot of people do it to make people back home stuck in manual jobs seethe. some kind of GPS coordinate mogging. 

ultimately you still have to work eight hours a day and no matter where you do it that will involve some suckage. why not overseas, at least for a while? but practical issues like getting a non pozzed apartment aren't that hard to solve. other issues like visas are more about being organised rather than anything else
--- 2435800

>you still have to work eight hours a day
Depends on your work.
There are many full-time jobs that can be done in way less than eight hours of work, especially if you don't get distracted by coworkers and bosses.

Absolutely, being in a new places distracts you from a lot of it though..
--- 2435813
>>2435706
i put in 30 hours a week, max. 

let me put it into perspective for you. a decent apartment in the US in some non-bumfuck shithole city is going to run me $2k a month with all the utilities. a combo meal at Burger King is $12. The women here, as you know, are mostly obese. So I can stay here and deal with that OR I can declare residency in a no income tax state that immediately saves me hundreds of dollars a month and then go to someplace like SEA/LATAM (shit even Japan is good because the yen is in the toilet) and get a luxury condo for less than $1000 and not even bother buying groceries because eating out is so cheap. Not to mention the women are prettier, thinner, and nicer than %99 of the women in the US. 

It's not a hard call to make.

Is it possible to have an address in the US and just not live there? The address would be just for tax reasons and my employer, but work remotely in Thailand? My employer would never know, and neither would the government probably. You'd make way more money and not have to worry about getting double taxed in Thailand.
--- 2435857
I would do it in a heartbeat since I work remote, but the only thing holding me back is the latency introduced when working outside the US. I already connect to a corporate VPN and it's dogshit slow. Couldn't imagine doing that while introducing even more hops.

this is the company i use

https://escapees.com/join/

it caters to boomer RV retirees but they'll set you up with a legit physical address. thing is, to declare residency you also need (should) to get a drivers license and register to vote. there are other similar services out there and they'll scan your mail and send it to you. the IRS doesn't give a shit about state income tax, the revenue department of whatever state you might live would, meaning, don't work from California or New York or anywhere that has an aggressive revenue department.

thats because the reality you created in your head is fake
making friends as an "expat" is easy as fuck. 1 fb post and i have 20 people hitting me up wanting to hangout. everyone, me included, gets boring the more you get to know them, so bouncing around and getting "the best of people" in the first few interractions before moving on, is really fun and good experience, you learn a lot
logn term friendships are great but theyre based on shared goals, of which at the moment i have none, so i can't keep any friendships like that. my only shared goal atm would be doing what im doing, but ive never met anyone that wants to go where i want to go
americans in particular think that everything in america is the best it can be. this is true in some cases, like medical is sick if you can afford the best, consumerism is top-tier, but the women.. holy fuck american women are literally the downfall of the empire. they are hideous, physically, mentally, spiritually, completely lost. so just that alone makes "expatting" around fun as fuck

once again, skill issue.

Only about 100. This is incredibly valuable. From the brief description I guess you did some kind of content/marketing business so why not offer that as a freelance service?

Because you're looking at it in a very surface level aspect.

Digital Nomading isn't for everyone some people just will not get it or handle it as well.

I'm not looking to get rich quick because I could just move to a lower cost of living area and want to enjoy seeing the world while I have youth.

I got a a few navy buddies I keep in touch with and visit once or twice a year when I’m in their town. That military lifestyle of living out of a seabag suited me quite well and what gave me the idea to be a DN in the first place. When I got out and tried to live that “normal” civilian life all it did was make me feel like I had a boat anchor around my neck. 

I’ve made plenty of relationships while I’ve traveled that I consider acquaintances more than friendships just because I have pretty high standard for people I consider actual friends. 

People just exhaust me, it takes energy to interact with people. Like flexing a muscle. I can do it well enough but after a while I need to recharge. Having peace trumps the loneliness the majority of the time. Don’t even get me started on women.

The idea is nice for someone who:

I leave every 3 months. I can get residency where my base apartment is located but I don't want to be here longer than 3 months. I just got back from 3 months in Spain, everyday was like springtime. Here, it was below -10c some days. I've never had any trouble exiting or enter any country, even when I've overstayed by a few days. I date other travelers and locals when I travel, but never residents in my base town. I don't shit where I eat. Friendships are so fucking overrated - you're just basically hanging out with some guy until he can find a weakness to fuck over. I don't talk to guys when I travel - too many of them are half-fags or just desperately lonely, and will hit you up for cash.

I tried the dn thing for a bit but stoppd because of this. It's the worst part and why people in their 20's shouldn't do this full time. But as you get older friendships become fickle. Every starts getting married and having kids. Once that happens you just barely ever see them again. All my friends are moving into that stage right now. For whatever reason I'm not (probably too ugly and awkward) and life has become incredibly lonely.

I think I just dived deeper into the matrix and there's no way out at this point. But I can at least get higher up in the matrix than where I'm at right now. Bros I need remote work with a US company. Literally anything. Where do I find these famous remote jobs at? Linkedin seems like a bust, a lot of the jobs want you to be in the US. And the other jobs are scams. Making 12 bucks an hour and bringing home 2k a month instead of 1k a month seems like a life saver right now.

Getting a house for about 100k, 3br, leasing out 1-2 to pay the morgatge and property tax for a long term investment as you travel is piss easy. It's also generally will increase in value unlike physical currency or buttcoin.

The fuck you can. Food costs are pretty much the same across the country. The only thing you get a bit cheaper is a house and that’s because you’re living in a brown wasteland that hits -20 in the winter. No thanks, I’ll take my apartment in Pattaya or Buenos Aires.

Oh, not to mention state income tax. Nope, registering my home of record in SD and dodging that shit.

The food costs in El Paso are far below that of LA.

So what if you make any kind of cash over min wageslave it's a non issue. I make 95k, it's not that big a deal especially in a state with no income tax like TX.

You know the more you make the more they take right? It’s not a big deal to you because you only make $95k. 9 grand, big whoop, sure. You break $150 and $15k fucking stings.

pic rel, no HOA, brand spanking new, 3br so it would be easy to lease out 2 of them to some friends. 2 friends paying 600/mo for a room would pay for everything the cost of the house could accumulate.

Convert it into the local cost of living with the local income. No shit exchange rates mean shit, dip down to ciudad across the border and get some cheap shit. Though I'd rather cook my own food like a grownup.

Whatever you say coomer, at least it will be something to come home to later in life, is paid off by room mates, and can be sold down the road. If you don't own a home with most of it paid off by the time you're 28 I dunno what to tell you other than lol.

Even as I've been DN'ing for 5+ years I understand the importance of something to fall back on if my job were to go poof and shit hits the fan, I still can have a roof over my head.

Yup all those along with some physical assets, most importantly a home that can serve many purposes in times of need is among one of the strongest to have.

>>2439200
Just because you are a DN doesn't mean you can't own a home, rent out a room or two and make additional passive income, and when the time comes to stop doing DN you have something waiting for you. Buying a house to secure yourself and equity is a smart move. My point was to prove it's not exactly expensive to buy a house in the midwest nor is the cost of living "the same all over the us" as that anon said. 

Who am I kidding I'm talking to people who couldn't get laid at an applebee's.

The only way out of the matrix is to be rich enough. You need enough money to not be able to worry about housing, healthcare, or payments resulting from a divorce or child. Basically, you have to be a multimillionaire at least. That’s what that retard Tate forgot to mention.

Digital nomadding does seem appealing but at 30 I worry I would just be wasting my life relaxing in SEA. Then again, I worry my life will be wasted because I made it this far without achieving much anyway. People that don’t waste their lives set out on their life tasks before 30 after all.

Careful, many companies are only hiring remote employees with a nominal address in certain states for tax purposes. Your home base in SD may be great for taxes, but it's not so hot if keeps you from being hired in the first place. Something like Texas could work, where a decently-sized remote first company is likely to already have employees.

Digital nomading is very attractive to me, but I could never do it. A single guy deciding to spend a year in Spain or a Latin American country implies sex tourism. My friends and family would never look at me the same way again.

It isn’t. It’s pretty much invisible to management because it’s something you change in whatever payroll system your company uses. You can use a friends or parents address on initial hire and just swap it over in your onboarding. They won’t even notice.

Though Spain has world-class prostitution, it is NOT known as a sex tourism destination. Just say you're going to learn the language, and enjoy the weather and lifestyle the way all roasties do.

--- 2441239

Just use a bank account in your home country. Pick one that offers good exchange rates (like revolut etc) and use that. Getting a local bank account is a massive pain and to be avoided.
--- 2441241
>>2441239
Make sure to get multiple cards, e.g. a Revolut, a TransferWise, Charles Schwab both as a backup as well as to not be tied to a specific bank.

>>2441229
>what is a good bank to use to move money around and take it out at ATMs?
Schwab is good because they refund all ATM fees and always give good exchange rates, I think Fidelity does too but I haven't used them. Chime is also supposed to be good. I would also have a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees.

IMO go for chime unless there is some kind of really big thing schwab has changed. I used schwab for a while but it kinda sucks. The mobile app and shit you can do with the e-card and not needing to actually renew the card is really really nice.

Frankly if you have stable remote job its fucking awsome for couple months, especialy when youre young. You can travel do some job (best of its not full time or you can do full time in like 1/2 or 3/4) and have some bonus money because you dont that much cash like in your prg country (its the idea)
