Digital nomad…one of my dreams. I envy you 
Where are you living nowadays?
I’m in Paris for the summer, but during Covid been in Middle East, Eastern Europe, Turkey and Greece. Nowadays it’s complicated to travel even for vaccinated people outside of Europe. Even if fully vaccinated I also want to avoid isolated islands or “3rd” world countries those days. Better to be in countries with decent medical system, we never know.

I totally understand you, I usually make several trips a year, some for work others for pleasure, especially because I take long motorcycle trips and when I have to use my laptop it takes twice as long to program than when I am at home using 3 monitors. I also believe that if in the future panels could be displayed on several screens it would be a great advance.
yes, with a Macbook pro + iPad Pro as second screen it’s a nice and decent set up for travelling. Not comfy as home set up (but anyway I’m used to not having big screens).
Do u imagine using something like an HTC vive with Wappler in the future? It would be amazing 
especially for those of us who travel a lot . But we are not there yet, the interface is not mature to work with a tool like Wappler or any other code tool.
So no Chiang Mai yet? I was betting that was one of them as it’s like an obligatory stay for nomads 
There is clearly a fit between tools like Wappler and living as a digital nomad. Once you break the learning curve of course!
Persevere! Once you learn how all the pieces fit and start adding coding to your toolbox you will be flying and creating simple and complex stuff at will. Why stay with strict nocode tools when you can have that plus the skills to perform any custom code you need.
People fear coding at first but it’s basically the same as learning a new language.

I’m nomad but not backpacker style / community stuff etc. I’m not a millenium neither (40+ here).
Well, but not everyone want to code.
I believe in logic, not in languages ))
That’s great because everything that has to do with computers(including programming) is based on logic!
No really. I can respect you not wanting to code but it’s a skill everybody should learn.
Governments of several countries(including the USA) are running programs to teach coding to all the kids and they are encouraging non-tech workers to start learning to code to be prepared for the future jobs.
Coding is the new English.
it’s interesting topic but I think that coding without code is the new English.
Coding is the new English is over imho.
You know what they say.
During a gold rush, sell shovels.
Non-tech people put too much faith in that becoming a reality. Probably based on the wish to level the playing field.
But the truth is that no-code tools are far far away from being a substitute of a bunch of developers with coding skills.
Low-code tools are a complete different story. The future is not no-code but low-code. Ergo my suggestion of having basic coding skills.
I kind of agree with you, so let’s correct :
“coding without little code is the new English” and we both happy ))

I’m pretty nomadic too.
Away in my caravan much of the summer, working in the car on cliff tops when the sun shines, travel by train and work when going from A2B, stay and work with family, friends, a partner…
… and as cool as two screens are, I’m not slowed down too much by only having one nice laptop screen…
It makes me smile how a thread about one thing slowly becomes a discussion about something totally different… 
Back when I was programming only in html, css, php, mysql & jquery I would have to update online databased websites from hotels in Morocco, France, Italy, Netherlands and New York, Texas & California.
This included putting whole new projects online that were based in Germany because these were for Beiersdorf, Bausch & Lomb, Bayer & other pharma companies. So I missed lots of sight-seeing.
The most ridiculous was creating & modifying a German server project from the library in Carmel, California. (And yes, I did see Clint Eastwood at his restaurant.) I’d use the Carmel Public Library wifi until I was kicked out when it closed. Then I discovered that they didn’t shut off their wifi server after hours.
Outside the library I’d find a place to sit as close as possible to a good wifi signal, even finding a power source on the side of the building to plug in to. As the sun set in California I’d be pecking away at my new MacPro, hunkered over trying to keep this slick aluminum surface from sliding off my lap while online with the server in Frankfort, Germany.
But for me these days with all the 2-factor login requirements the biggest hassle is my email or Twitter logins getting challenged because, even with a vpn, they are suspicious of my login. Telephone roaming around the world is still a situation by situation test of reliability. I hate 2-factor authorization using a mobile phone in different regions of the world.
The world pretends everyone now has high-speed connections & that phone services are essentially equal anywhere you go.

Just read that google rolled out WebOTP API support in Chrome 93 beta, here is how to simplify 2fa by setting up a remote device/desktop https://developer.chrome.com/blog/cross-device-webotp/
Not a digital nomad (yet) but I’m starting that journey on January 2022. I’m from Mexico and planning to roam around Europe for a year. Wework international plan + Airbnb seem to be a good combo to have a steady work environment and a private space for resting and cooking. Let’s see how it goes.

Hackerspaces are more and more popular. You don’t necessarily need to be a ‘hacker’ to oblige them… Lots of help, friendly people, full of developers from all backgrounds, fun times, lots to learn, usually find a bed if you need one, someone will put you up!

I hate to work from co working and almost don’t work anymore from bars. Nothing better than a quiet hotel room or suite with comfy chair and desk.
Everyone is different but I don’t care socialising in co working and “commenting” to go to co working a big no for me. I just don’t get any benefits from such places. I used to like to work from café time to time, but I’m not just productive when in such places.
@GlobaticoLabs, have you tried working from the passenger seat of your car parked out in nature with a lap desk? It has completely changed my view on nomadic working!
