People often ask us how we choose our next destination as digital nomads, so I thought we could take the opportunity to share our thought-process and a few resources we use to plan our remote work and travel. The process for choosing a digital nomad destination is slightly more specific than how to choose a…
Here’s why an Airbnb rental is still our top choice for accommodations right now. Plus, we share our safety tips for using Airbnb during the Coronavirus pandemic. What is Airbnb?
