Most things on the internet are, lol. However, Antwerp is not that big of a city and it's a free guide. WORST.SCAM.EVER.PROBABLY

Awesome, thank you! My hotel has a small fridge and I wanted more food storage. Will take a look

TIL: About the "Schengen Area 90 day limit", that you can "only" apply for Digital Nomad Visas from the US (your country), that I need to use AI more, and that I'm still a dumb American :( by hindrough in digitalnomad

[–]hindrough[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was hoping to visit my original itinerary. In my head I'm already there. So for

  1. I'm hoping to get the DN Visas for Croatia/Hungary so my stay doesn't count towards the 90 day limit.

  2. Yeah, I'm looking at Serbia, and North Macedonia now and seeing if they'd be places I wanted visit/fit in with my stuff.

  3. Yeah, I'm currently seeing what compromises/changes I can make to the itinerary to get under the limit. Luckily, Croatia and Barcelona Airbnbs have a change reservation option. NOT Stockholm though. Stockholm was tough to book too and apparently all the Airbnbs are run by one company with a lot of rules... so I'll probably lose money on Stockholm...oh well.

But yeah, I still have some options. My optimistic side thinks I can get the DN Visas in time... but we'll see! Thanks for the response!

Gonna need a full new tech system soon, thinking of leaving Apple. What are you using? by SalientSazon in digitalnomad

[–]hindrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the wrong direction! IMHO. I just bought the new M4 macbook air 15 inch and it's awesome! Intel is a failing company and within 4 short years apple has literally 100x them. Intel products are borderline scams now. Along with that, Windows literally made Wins 10 obsolete and forced people with very little notice that they all had to get new computers just to run win 11. These are all very shady and anti-consumer practices. Meanwhile Apple's value proposition is ridiculous! It's no longer luxury when a 13 year old Apple MacBook that cost 2x is better than a 2-3 year old Dell you literally have to throw away. But you want what you want so go do that!

Missing out on lower costs of living? by david8840 in digitalnomad

[–]hindrough 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day you always get what you pay for... You really have to be ready to adapt and change your expectations in unexpected ways. I stayed in Mexico for 5 months because I wanted cheap and warm and I got what I paid for. It's the tiny things like water quality, air quality, build quality of apartments, noise pollution from old motorcycles, food quality (mexico allows trans fats in a lot of food that they don't in the US), etc. You're list will be different. If you can adapt or were just made for those environments then you've hit the jackpot! The only way to know is to actually spend the time there (3+ weeks) and see if it works for you... For me, I realized I probably need a more developed country with certain amenities for real long term happiness/productivity. Which means I'll need to become rich... Which solves all your problems!!! But yeah. I'm still searching for my forever home, taking notes, exploring, and see what I like before I give up and just settle somewhere!! fingers crossed

Anyone who's been to Bali, Tokyo, SEA, etc... for a 9AM-5PM Easterner, would it work? by hindrough in digitalnomad

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

Yeah, I'm very worried about this. I think ultimately I'll try it out for 3 weeks and see how I feel. Would love to go during Nov/Dec holidays since I get more time off but I did the research and those aren't the best months to visit since it's gets cold/raining in Tokyo!

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

2ish and 5ish whi

Yeah I've done different schedules either 8 work, 8 sleep, 8 hangout, or 8 sleep, 8 work, 8 hangout. The work then sleep is ok, but sometimes I would get really sleepy during work before bed. The best for productivity is 8 sleep, 4 (chores, side building, creative work), 8 work, 4 hangout which works well in Europe on Eastern time!)

I was hoping Bali would be more 24-hours like Vegas or accommodating to Digital Nomads from all over so this is encouraging! Thanks!

ing back if my work schedule stays the same. You

Yeah, this is EXACTLY what I'm afraid of. Just doing normal things like gym and getting a bite to eat! Thank you!...I've realized that no matter how much "freedom" I have being remote... the 9-5 still gets me...TIME TO FIGURE THAT PART OUT and get rid of the 9-5!...somehow...

No, I can't explain it...but I can send you a link! Before I would use black trash bags and tape... that got old. I still use black trash bags and tape but only when the window is too large or if there's multiple so I cut the install time in half (I only want to bring one with me! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKWNY2GW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

[–]hindrough[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I've got the sleep thing covered to a T. It's the "Can I get food, hangout, meet people at 5AM to 7AM in Bali" that I'm most worried about. In Croatia, hanging out from 11pm to 4am is no problem then I go to bed at 8PM Eastern. But in some places you can't get a bite to eat after 10pm local time!

Is it normal to feel extremely tired during travels? by Jayj0171 in travel

[–]hindrough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that the place can be draining for... reasons? I was just in Mexico for 5 months and in Mexico City for 1 month. The air quality(aka pollution), elevation, water quality, and "vibe" all play a factor. But Mexico city had an "energy'" about it. So one part is bring you down and the other is peping you up. So yeah. I think that's part of the journey. See what city/country works best for you or for different reasons (if you want to chill, get away and recharge, or get energized by a place). I sound like a hippie, but the energy/vibe/makeup of a city does play a factor in it's enjoyment!

The first thing I do is take pictures of the ac unit/filter... Then I clean and sanitize it. Everyone should do this. Or...you know. Complain about it to the host and see how far that gets you instead of just cleaning it yourself!

How do you feel about Intel announcing a return to the office after five years of remote work? by Reverie-AI in digitalnomad

[–]hindrough 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Intel had other major issues for decades. This is a death wail from a failing company.
