I'm personally considering starting the nomad life now at 24 or next year at 25. I'm South African and Greek, so I get the EU passport benefits. Grew up in both, been studying & working in SA for almost 7 years now. SA has a decent climate and stunning natural beauty, but government and other factors here make it a bit unpalatable.
A good way to describe Cape Town is San Francisco Lite - The same tech, central rental price, homelessness & drug problems (with crime too!), just cheaper. Pretty place, but not sure I want to keep dealing with that. Then there's also the general wanderlust. Ideally, I want to do the digital nomad thing while traveling through Europe, then decide on a "permanent" place to have as a base, then maybe keep traveling and see what else there is. Currently eyeing Amsterdam, Lisbon (local salaries are only slightly higher than CPT though), Talinn. Athens also has quite an urban flair to it as well, and coming back to it with a fresh pair of eyes for a few weeks last year made it enticing to go back. But alas, I'd rather not waste 9 months of my life in conscription.
