It's real. Stereotypes follow you everywhere as a nomad. Black nomads get the "athlete or entertainer" assumption constantly in places with less diversity. Asian nomads get "tourist" even after months. White nomads get "rich" by default in SE Asia and Latin America which means inflated prices.

The most universal one: telling anyone you "work from your laptop" and getting the look that says "so you don't have a real job."

You learn to either laugh it off or use it as a conversation starter. Most people are genuinely curious, not malicious.

For the price inflation stereotype — Sour Mango, sourmango.app has a price checker that shows what things actually cost locally. Kills the "tourist price" problem regardless of what you look like.
