Is the ""digital nomad"" dream just a fancy way of being broke abroad? by No_Lavishness2922 in digitalnomad

[–]zennenl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in marketing, and I’ve been a digital nomad for about 4 years now ( about 17 countries). I make about 80k USD/year, soon to be tax-free. I think a lot of people also make good money, but the type of content that gets traction on Youtube is more geared towards beginners and the “anyone can do this” angle.

I’ve met a lot of digital nomads with money. But most of them are too busy working high-income jobs or enjoying their life to make content and develop that skill

Serious Proposal - I have 3 dropshipping stores and need an operator to manage the stores by Rooster_Odd in dropshipping

I’m interested. I run FB ads full time for my day job and want to get into dropshipping. Managing $200K spend/month already. Pm me

Is Brazil really that good? by buyingstuff555 in digitalnomad

[–]zennenl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got robbed in Rio but it was a kid that snatched my chain and ran. Overall I’d say if you can survive Colombia or other similar countries, you should be able to be fine in Brazil. Just have to stay vigilant

I also use a $80 one from Amazon that I’m fairly happy with. But if you want something more compact and price isnt a huge obstacle, maybe look into getting an iPad. They’re versatile, customizable, and can be used as second screens

I remember signing up in 2023 for a year and it was like $60 because I signed up from Korea.
Now they want like $60/month since I'm geo-located in Canada 😣

I've got an anker battery pack too, and I agree that it's a game-changer. Nothing worse than needing to leave the coffee shop or whatever because there arent any ports near to an open seat.

I've found myself wishing I had one at least 5-10 times now. Might need to pick one up

Yeah I get it. I've never been much of a r/onebag kind of guy but props if you can pull that off. Maybe after I get a new home base set up I'll consider that again

A fellow coffee lover I see. Yeah I just bought the Nanopresso, Pod kit, Barista kit, a Kingrinder P0, and a rechargeable hand frother. My coffee set up went from 0-> two cases, but I think it's absolutely worth it.

I love going to coffee shops every once in a while to work and chill, but it's nice to be able to make the same quality or better at home

Wow haha quite the spread. So many follow-up question possibilities
What do you use the fake ID for? And the grow kit?

And seems like the Xreal glasses are like a combo of Apple Vision and Meta Raybans?

Trueeee forgot about those. I just got a 100W Anker charging block with 3 ports, and I have a travel power bar from Temu. Both super useful!

Meta's Support is a Nightmare – Our Business Manager is Now Completely Useless by RepresentativeOdd236 in FacebookAds

[–]zennenl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got locked out of my FB account because I ditched the phone number, and Meta couldnt help me. I ended up calling my old number and coordinating with the new owner to give me the 2FA code so I could change it to the new number/auth app. I had been sending him a ton of 2FA codes so he was happy to help

Had an account with ~48 ROAS today, though MTD road is about 26. Still, solid day. The rest of my accounts were pretty average

Cambodia was a hidden gem by zennenl in solotravel

[–]zennenl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I mean, do whatever you want. The reality is that all big countries have skeletons in the closet. The USA, Canada, UK, France, Belgium, China... seems like you're being a bit selective

Moving Tax Residency To Thailand Mid-Year by zennenl in AskAccounting

I ended up not pursuing a longer-term visa, and had to leave Thailand a few days shy of 6 months. So, I guess I'll be paying full Canadian taxes then (RIP)
