newmes@alien.topBtoDigital Nomads•Would you prefer living in Medellin, Colombia or prefer another Latin Country for a full year?English1·2 years agoI’d prefer another country, where foreigners aren’t regularly targeted for druggings, robberies, and assaults. This year has not been good in that regard for Medellin lol. I’m not going there. And I know the city well and speak Spanish.
newmes@alien.topBtoDigital Nomads•For freelancers when traveling how low does your saving account get before you begin to sweat?English1·2 years agoMy savings account goes up not down. Build a business or something that will set you up financially.
But when I was beginning, I had like $20K in savings and I would have probably been worried if it dropped below $10K

Hoi An, Vietnam.
Bangkok, Thailand.
Playa del Carmen, México.
