   You're very right. This is one of the main challenges for people to move away. There's expat insurance though (usually in the same country as where you're from) and usually the fees are way lower since you're now in a po

   If you work in the US, and most of your clients will be in the US, most tax agencies (and probably IRS, but I'm not sure) will effectively presume you're a US-based company. It doesn't matter if your company is registered som

    There's more to this story. I was the first person to be interviewed by this journalist (Michael Thomas @curious_founder). He approached me on Twitter to ask questions about digital nomad and remote work life (as I founded Nomad List a

    Remote work is the #1 perk/benefit for employees now. It's no wonder it's hard to land a remote job because everybody wants them. The focus should be on increasing your skills, making them more unique and super necessary for

    As the maker of Nomad List: no, definitely no guarantee and it's not the main purpose of the community at all. It's just a chat and there's a jobs channel. I know many people found clients etc. through it but it's very i
