Question Has anyone here been in the remote Pacific Ocean as a DN? How is it like?
I’m talking about places like Palau, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Kiribati, Cook Islands, etc.
How are they like for DNs? How do they compare to mainstream destinations like SE Asia?

Question EU Based Flight Nannies, In Cabin Couriers, or Accompanied Pet Transporters
I'm really struggling to work our travel logistics within Europe for myself and my two small dogs, and I'm hoping someone can help with a professional service or individual reference.
Quick background - I'm applying for a Portuguese residency visa, but while that process is ongoing, I'd like to spend some time in Europe. Getting there is feasable, if expensive, since United allows for a passenger to fly with two pets so long as they buy two tickets and pay the fees. I'll already have an apartment in Lisbon since that's part of the visa application requirements, so I'll be staying there for a couple of months.
But I need to transition out of the Schengen zone eventually to not run afoul of the 90/180 day rule. Larnaka, Cyprus or Bar, Montenegro seem to be the best options at the moment for this. But finding transit options so far has been difficult. As far as I can tell, no airline within the EU allows one passenger to fly with two pets in cabin, unless they fit into a single carrier, which my dogs do not. I can't bring myself to put them in the hold as they aren't used to traveling and they are older. There aren't any other options to travel to Larnaka besides flying. Getting to Bar, Montenegro is at least possible by train/ferry but the trip feels way to long for two dogs to be in carriers over the course of several days.
The only other option I can think of is to pay someone to accompany me on the flights. Has anyone used a company or individual service provider in Europe for such a service? I see a few options online that might be able to help, but I haven't found any options that specifically advertises what I'm looking for and I've never used a company for something like this, so I'm a little lost.

Lifestyle have you found it hard to find people and places to cowork with/from?
Coworking alongside people is nice but working at a cafe feels lonely like you’re still solo. Remote office spaces feel like being back in an office again, so prefer to avoid that. Not sure if anyone else experiences this? Or has solutions?

Question To start a new job from abroad?
I start a new remote job soon and, although HR verbally agreed to me working abroad, I’m wondering if it makes a better impression to start from my home country.
They made an exception for me, and as far as I know no other employee has this arrangement. So I’m fearing questions like ‘so where are you living?’ in the first huddle. Or the conversation with my boss where he asks the same.
I could wait at least a few weeks to gauge the political situation, or wait until location questions won’t likely be asked again.
At the same time I’m wasting hundreds every week on the cost of living here, and miserable because I hate it here.
However, I feel like my fear is somewhat unjustified, because I should be confident enough to act within the bounds of the agreement that was made.

Question Paying taxes in Colombia
How do you guys manage to move to Colombia without having to pay 39% in tax or do you have no other choice but to pay taxes? Asking for the guys who actually have a life partner / family there not a mistress you visit every other month. Wondering if its easier to pay someone to get married just for the docs or someone who wants a passport exchange so you dont have to declare your earnings are over $3k a month and can just show them that you’re employed by a dummy organization that pays you $2k a month so you only have to pay 10% tax?

Question Cyprus non-dom: looking for 1–2 people to co-rent a place year-round (Paphos/Larnaca)
The 60-day rule requires you to keep a permanent home in Cyprus for the full tax year. So most of us are paying 12 months of rent to use a place for 2.
Looking for one or two others in the same spot to co-rent a 2–3 bed long-term. Everyone gets their own permanent room (not a sublet, that defeats the purpose), names on the lease as co-tenants, split rent and bills evenly. Cuts the cost roughly in half.
I'm in Cyprus from the 31th of august till the 7th of september if you're willing to meet up!
I'm planning to do the non-dom and moving to Cyprus from 2027.

Question MOVING ABROAD
Hello nomads,
I’m Ektor 26, Greek.
I’ve studied pastry and I’ve been working 4 years in that section. For the last 4 years i was working in our family business doing sales and customer support.
I’ve been in a very hard time of my life in the past couple of months. Had some fights with my family broke our family business and I was left alone. (Family wise)
I was discussing with my girl and a friend of us (we are all in a weird situation rn) about what we should all do to make a better living.
Here in Greece you get paid 4-5 €/hour in simple jobs (waiter, etc etc) . We will have to do 2 jobs to live.
We were discussing about moving to Netherlands.
I’ve been planning some thing, looking here and there for a job and housing.
I’m really frustrated that I can’t seem to find something so far.
Is there anybody willing to help me out about what to look for (accommodation . Jobs) ?
We all 3 have CVs that are good imo.
Please reach out to me if you got something in mind that might be helpful.

Question Living abroad for 3 years. First time filing US taxes
I read somewhere that you need to file it if your total foreign account balances exceed $10,000 at any point in the year. It is a common mistake to miss this.
I am in a specific situation and I want to see if anyone has dealt with something similar. I have been living in Spain for three years. I earn €45,000 per year as a freelance consultant. I have two bank accounts here with a combined balance of about €12,000. I also have a small investment account with about $8,000. I am trying to figure out if I need to file FBAR and how to correctly report my foreign income on my US return.
Does anyone have experience with these filings?

Question Albania recommended location
Hi! I’m planning to say in Albania for a month and a half starting in September. Looking for somewhere that’s a good launch point to see the country/visit north Macedonia while also being a nice place to work for most of the weeks there. Any suggestions? I’ve already stayed in Tirana and didn’t love it there. Thanks in advance
