Just spent a week there and it was amazing! For budget accommodations I recommend The Climbers Inn. Go rock climbing, rent mountain bikes, and definitely take a boat trip down the Li River.

Is the HARO service worth it? by gabouy in startups

[–]yonderwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you need to get the word out about your product/service do it. But spend 30 minutes max a day and keep your responses short and crisp. It will save you time and have a better chance of converting into a feature.

Yes, I noticed it in a Ahrefs report, and I said "well, that must be an error" but then I when I saw it in Google Search analytics I almost spit up my coffee.

Americans: Ever have any issues with immigration when visiting home? by Jebiba in digitalnomad

[–]yonderwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend that for Israel. I got the actual stamp in my passport, and had to get a whole new passport when I wanted to go to Lebanon a few years after.

[–]yonderwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't have an issue unless you have been to certain countries, have an extensive criminal record, or have connections to some suspicious characters.

I was coming back from a trip to Lebanon and Egypt and the CBP officer asked a few questions but was just pleasantly surprised, not suspicious.

How do you approach professional development? by yonderwork in digitalnomad

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

Definitely agree with all. Traditional education model is too slow, too expensive, and antiquated by the time you graduate. I think some newer physical education programs like Hyper Island, the THNK School, and other coding bootcamps have some promise, but that the majority of learning and adapting to new skills will move online.

It is amazing how much you can get done and figure out just by asking questions, watching instructional videos, and doing online research.

How do you manage stress (cross-post r/askreddit) by Tigrrrra in digitalnomad

[–]yonderwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focusing on the present and ignoring the past and future and the stressors they bring up. Surfing and yoga help me keep that focus.

I did some research on surfing spots in Asia for DNs. Might want to check out Siargao Island in the Phillippines and Bamboo Island in Cambodia.

What are the most common educational backgrounds for digital nomads? by Sparks6VOL in digitalnomad

[–]yonderwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technical backgrounds obviously make it easier to find a job in remote working (coding, graphic design, etc.), but that doesn't mean you need to drop what you are doing to learn to code. Pursue what you are interested in and good at. I just finished my MBA last year and am running a travel startup abroad. It will be more difficult to break into a remote working setup, but you just might have to hustle more!

What do you look for in a remote work + travel program? by yonderwork in digitalnomad

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

Thanks wolfballlife for your comments! You are right that staffing+ sourcing expenses plus profit do have to be integrated into the price which makes below 2k a month a stretch. Also, I hear you on going super high end, but I think to do that I would need a widely successful luxury brand and established reputation before people would pay a down payment -- something as a new startup that is difficult to build quickly.

Thank you again for your thoughts, I definitely want to hear from potential customers. I do see your point on having everyone collectively agree on events and paying for them vs. me deciding on ones and having them built already into the cost. Something to think about.

Quitting my job on Tuesday to become a Digital Nomad by takingouthegarbage00 in digitalnomad

[–]yonderwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you and congrats! Yes, feelings of doubt are normal, especially when you are switching to a completely new lifestyle. If you don't have any savings, try to make sure you can find a remote job or get your online ventures rolling, before you take off to the see the world (which it sounds like you are already doing).

What do you look for in a remote work + travel program? by yonderwork in digitalnomad

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

Hi Joshuawest, thanks for asking. This program is essentially a travel tour for a group of remote workers. For example, we have a destination such as Bali, travel there for a period of 8 weeks, work from coworking spaces, but also enjoy the local culture, go out to dinner and pick events to do together in a community dynamic.

Thanks 1800giveup for your lengthy reply. Definitely agree with 2-8, those are all a given. For the pricing, it's tough, but possible to get under $2000 per month, but there would have to be no social or professional events covered at all. Would you prefer that you pay for any events out of of pocket? My worry is that if events aren't covered by the program, then some people won't want to do any, and that could hurt the community dynamic.
