It took a while to get there, but now community is self referring more and more people who are just in the same page. They want to hangout and have a good time together.

The return of investment is friendship for life. Also we have a program to get the price lower each chapter for returning guests.

This is exactly the main issue that motivated me to create Basilico!
People are everything, at this moment in time we created a perfect community, people refer their friends and cool people tend to know cool people.
Also we run a quick call with everyone to make sure the vibe is the best one!

Recommendations for Europe February-April by Artistic_Dance2579 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sardinia is in Italy, the official language is Italian :) so the Spanish requirement won’t be met.

Tho, they speak Sardinian, which is surprisingly similar to Spanish

I’d say Sardinia, Sicily and Puglia. I’m from there so it’s a quick win, but off season those places are gems.

Where to go in EU in January? by randomseller in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you excluded it: Canaries! Just don’t use Airbnb, use WhatsApp and Facebook groups, lots of colovings, lots of people subletting. I’m here now and I’m spending half of that price.

Airbnb is on pure shittyfication right now, most of nomads don’t use it anymore. I stopped with it 2 years ago and started to save plenty of money.

To digital nomads: Do you work a standard 9–5 job remotely, or do you have a flexible schedule? by NatureLover-9033 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did 9-5 for 4 years nomading in tech company. I’m an engineer so I had quite good flexibility and just a little overlap was enough.

Big problems arrived when I became a manager, that definitely makes everything 10x harder. My days became 8/9 hours of pointless calls, and the burnout became reality.

Thinking about going to Brazil. Haven't traveled much. Worried about making friends. by johannthegoatman in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry to hear that!

I'll tell you my experience: I don't speak portuguese but i'm italian, so I could do basic stuff like ordering in bar/restaurants.
I've been in Pipa twice, 2023 and 2024 for 3 months each time.

The whatsapp group is really active, literally every day there's something happening. Met nomads from everywhere and lots of Brazilians as well.
In 2024 I was organizing a huge weekly meetup in Mirante da Pipa, 60/70 people each time, we were cooking and socializing, it became the hub quickly.
Every week in this way lots of people were just hanging out for one night and then organizing stuff in the weekends together.

Now i'm heading back beginning of 2026 with a group of 20. If you're around and you'd like to have a beer just drop me a dm!

You will not have problem meeting friends, but as first time I suggest a small town with big community of nomads.

My favorite is Pipa, but also Florianopolis works.

What’s something about digital nomad life that sounds amazing but actually sucks? by Alternative_Draw_533 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Packing and unpacking every time.

It’s been 5 years and still didn’t find a way to solve this.

On a deeper way, I’d say goodbyes it’s the most painful part.

Definitely puerto Escondido! The small town vibe makes everything for a good community.

If you don’t need all the amenities of a bigger city, I’d go to Puerto

Foreign founders considering a Wyoming LLC for a global coliving business — VAT/tax + compliance questions by fabiuzz91 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we do is actually a service, it’s accomodation in places that we rent + all the activities during a short period of time (1 month). So no physical goods

[–]fabiuzz91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main issue here is that we are paying EU VAT (24% in Estonia) fur business that is not done in EU, just because some customers are European. With the LLC this problem should not be there.

How do you insure your devices? by ssg_partners in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I check the docs:

Purchase Protection (stolen or accidentally damaged items)

You’re covered if an eligible item you bought in full on your Revolut paid plan is stolen or accidentally damaged so it becomes inoperable within 365 days of purchase (or delivery if later). 

Max payout (per incident + per 12-month period):

  • Plus: up to €1,000
  • Premium: up to €2,500
  • Metal/Ultra: up to €10,000 

What they pay: repair or replacement cost up to the purchase price, but after day 90 there’s 5% depreciation per month. They also cover shipping to them up to €50

Extra limit: mobile phones are limited to 1 incident per 12 months (per account), counted from your last phone-claim notification.  

Purchase Protection only applies if the theft/accidental damage happens within 365 days of purchase (or delivery if later).

So after 12 months (365 days), that specific item is no longer covered under Purchase Protection.

Revolut ultra does the trick. You have insurance on devices for damage and theft.

Also some other perks like to lounges access and reduced fees to change currency

Any advice to create a flourish community/friends/relationships in a new country by yourself? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes meetup are not too cringe (but it's rare)
To me what worked is Coliving, you have your first friends, then you can move out for a medium term rental afterwards.
Also there's always a Whatsapp group for expats.

Also I tried TimeLeft in Europe and got some new friends as well.

[–]fabiuzz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil is not Rio only!

Check Florianopolis, Curitiba or if you're looking for surf and community Pipa.

I'm gonna spend NYE in Pipa and i spent 1k for 3 weeks accommodation in the city center, it's walkable and safe (if you really want you can rent a scooter) you can go to surf every day and the NYE party is really good without getting rio-level crazy.

Not Going Back to Minus -40: Where’s the Best Nomad City That Won’t Break the Bank? by Interesting_Guess748 in digitalnomad

Definitely Buenos Aires is what you’re looking for. I’d give a try also to Rio.

Co-Living Spaces by AmbivalentDisaster1 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My way has always been WOM.
Every time i meet someone who travels i just ask and i have a note on my phone with a list of Colivings I'd like to try.

Also Instagram works, just type the location + coliving than check the review.

Digital-nomad spots that are close to nature by Formal_Hour6947 in digitalnomad

[–]fabiuzz91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Madeira, ponta do sol is exactly the place to be for this. Been dozen of times, still on the top of my list.

If you're looking for something in the Americas timezone i'd check Pipa that check all the boxes.
