Nomad Resources
Ready to start your digitally nomadic life? We've saved hundreds of dollars moving money around by using Wise. We save even more in ATM fees by combining Wise with a local bank account. Use this link and Wise will give you a free money transfer up to £500.
If we weren't house plant murderers we would do a bit more house sitting. It really is a great way for digital nomads to save on accommodation expenses AND get a comfortable environment in which to work. Americans may prefer to join here.
We will be using SafetyWing when we start travelling again. Their policies are aimed at nomads like you and us and both their travel and health insurance include cover for Covid19 so we can spend as much time abroad as we please.
Running our website was such a chore with our last host. It is so much easier updating our site now we have made the switch to A2 Hosting.
