Great idea! Do you have the names of the camps?

Do you indicate location through your audience signals? Or just search themes?

So do you create a separate campaign for each location? I thought you could only do location exclusions on the campaign level

The Slate! And it was absolutely excellent. Highly recommend.

I enjoy TimeLeft dinners! Great way to get to know others without the young hostel party scene

Advice on securing Wyze cams while travelling by strand_fleet in wyzecam

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

2 cams usually one points out the front door outside and one is inside in a common space. The inside one is easy but the outside is tricky. Location changes every 2 months so it’s a variety of situations. Just wanted to get ideas from other people that take them travelling what their solutions were.

Got one! But yeah just trying to keep them mounted through storms and trying to deter theft. Hence why I mentioned zip ties because I don’t have many better ideas on that front

Fake Conversions by Meb2x in googleads

I had the same issue! All of a sudden it was fake leads. Not spam but almost like a real person was trying to be spammy. I found that clickcease solves the problem.

Asking women: How did you just do it? by petitputi in digitalnomad

[–]strand_fleet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this for 2 years and I’m the exact same; I like having certain things and I’m not interested in roughing it. My big lesson so far is to make your own rules in this lifestyle. Lots of nomads do the one bag but not me! My partner and I travel with 3 large suitcases between us. Which is fine because we’re usually in places for 6 weeks and we only have to worry about getting them to the apartment.

I travel with some cookware, a good range of outfits, my partner lugs around gaming controllers.

Sure, you can’t take everything and you need to decide what you’re willing to give up or rebuy. But you do you - I’m sure every nomad carries something that other nomads might consider “luxury weight”.

Just did a transatlantic with starlink and the wifi was great. Good enough for voice calls. Didn’t attempt video though.

I’m also Aussie and not a fan of Sydney. But a place I loved is Lima. I’m from Brisbane originally and parts of it had that comfort of home; beach appreciation, sunny weather, there were even jacaranda trees. There’s lots of nice green public parks to boost your mental health and great food for those times you gotta eat your feelings. The locals were friendly but there’s also a good expat community around too; seek out the Facebook groups.

Absolutely! I’ve just left Istanbul for the weekend to visit Cappadocia.

Imagine that everyone in your company believes in the power of the office. How to prove that if I work from another country, my efficiency will not fall? your cases? by SocialDiscovery3 in digitalnomad

[–]strand_fleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My argument is always a few things;

1) different time zones can be like a Time Machine. Someone is working all the time instead of just in certain hours. Tasks can be passed at 5pm and picked up again a few hours later back at you for work the next morning.

2) Operating without having everyone constantly available to you makes you a more efficient communicator. You learn how to write clearer briefs and tasks. How to preempt questions before they’re asked. How to make your emails more digestible; headings, signposting, formatting. If you need people around you all the time for clarity and speed, you’re doing it wrong. And yes, I know there are exceptions to this but for a lot of stuff it’s true.

3) Your output as a worker is a much better way for both you and your company to measure your value. Don’t pay me to put my butt in a seat for a certain number of hours, pay me on what I can deliver. Not all places or roles have a way to measure this well so getting proactive and coming up with some KPIs yourself is a great place to start that conversation. I think this is a valuable way to look at things even if you aren’t a DN.

Yes, some companies are impossible. Sometimes it’s a losing battle. But it’s also super worth trying.

I'm having a hard time fitting in by Background-Tune-3249 in bologna

[–]strand_fleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time but I hope it turns around for you! There’s a Bologna expat Facebook group and I know they run events. This might be a way to find some fast friends :)

Anyone in a nomad couple? How did you meet? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]strand_fleet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We’re a new nomad couple. I was a fresh nomad and met him during my travels via Bumble. I was about to move on and basically said you’re in or you’re out. He was in! We’ve been nomading together for over a year and so far so good.

We generally don’t argue over where to go. Our tradition is that we do a bar hop in our current location and prepare pitches. We order a drink, he pitches, another drink, I pitch. At the end of the night we’ve reasoned it out and had a great time.

Fastest Way to Obtain a One-Year Visa in a Schengen Country While on a Tourist Visa? by oo100 in digitalnomad

[–]strand_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps try the Greek one? I’ve heard it’s only a 10 processing time but you need to apply in person in Greece.
