Where to go as a digital nomad?

[PillowCase]

From 2025 my job's going full-on remote, meaning I can work from anywhere on the planet. That's sick, right? But now I'm torn. Should I do a world tour, hitting up every hot spot for a week and seeing what Grindr's got to offer in each city? Or should I pick one amazing country and just chill there for a few months?

This is a total game-changer, and I'm trying to figure out the best move. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Obviously South East Asia, king. I lived in Da Nang, Vietnam for 3 months in 2018 and simply had the best time. A lot of fellow expats were there, most teaching English online and some in local schools too.

 

That being said, being isolated and working full-time and having no support system comes with its downsides so wherever you are, you'll want to stay for a few months and cobble together some kind of a network.

honestly....Japan.

 

Itʻs very affordable and the worst part of Japan is the work culture (which youʻll avoid).

anyway, 1st thing you should do is make sure you can actually go anywhere since your company will have to abide by the laws of the place you're living in

Thank you for giving answers!  Mexico seems really fun and it's so close, I might as well give it a try. And Japan seems very different, although I was told by co-workers they are very not welcoming to outsiders.

Totally depends on your age and where you're at in life imo. When I was in my early-mid 20s I travelled and lived in multiple different countries and loved it. The adventure, the anonymity, nothing was serious or heavy.

 

Now I'm in my early 30s and it's exactly the opposite. All I want to do is lay down my roots, build a home, and build deep, meaningful relationships. The traveling I do these days is a lot closer to home.

 

So it depends on you!

Not Mexico City.

And me about to tell you to go visit the world capitals 

[sugarysunflower]

Will you get taxed based on the country of your birth or the country where your company employs you, or in the country you're gonna be a nomad? 
 

Dubai, no?

[Cheers]

Yes that's amazing congrats!

This the kinda gig I need

Idk, have you done remote work before? I feel like depending on what your role is and how your company views remote work is going to heavily influence your ability to travel and your lifestyle. For most companies, working from home just means 9-5 but in your home office so idk. But if you do have the flexibility to jump time zones and work off your own schedule and hours, then go for the travel option.
