Do any of you regularly go "slowmad" and if so what's your strategy for apartments? (alien.top)

I'm starting to settle on the fact that 'slowmad' might be the way for me.

Basically, stay in a city for at LEAST 3 months but possibly up to 6.

My thinking is that I land, then spend the first week focused on finding an apartment.

They I buy a TV, desk, office chair, and a bunch of smaller things like towels.

It would be WAY cheaper than a hotel and a much nicer experience.

Then when you leave, you just sell the stuff or hire someone to do it for you.

Curious if anyone takes this approach and if they have any suggestions.

Right now I'm in BKK ... and thinking of going down this route.

Either monthly airbnb or Facebook groups. I don't rent unfurnished apartements, if you value your time its a huge unnecessarily hassle, I can't imagine ever buying a tv while nomading.

Ill sometimes buy a used office chair and some cookware.
