Bariloche, Argentina is a very cool town with an amazing ski resort (Cerro Catedral)

Real estate is pretty expensive here and the economy is extremely unstable. It’s great to visit and can be extremely cheap for tourists but I wouldnt invest here imo.

You wouldnt be super comfortable like that but you could do it. Minimum wage here is less than $200 a month. Many people dont even make that.

If you made $800-$1000 a month here you would do great though.

I’ve definitely had luck with English classes before, just was very spotty but I can get something everything once in a while for sure

How to make $20+ a day online? (alien.top)
 

I’m a US citizen but I am currently based in Argentina so $20 goes a long way.

I’ve signed up for quite a few sites and platforms online (Upwork, UserTesting, Dscout, Appen) but no luck. Also quite a few job applications from everything from web dev to customer service and not much from that yet.

Anyway I have a good bit of marketable skills so I’m sure I can make something work but have just been struggling a lot.

I can do:

• Web Development - React.js sites mostly, usually alongside Node.js, Next.js, Firebase and good old JS/CSS/HTML - Github is JohnFuhrm12

• Translation/Transcription - My native language is English but I am also fluent in Spanish and have decent Portuguese skills as well - I’ve given classes before as well

• Customer Support - I have a year of experience with a call center/social media management job that I had in Colombia, can do anything bilingual as well

If you have any ideas or advice let me know and I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

How did you become a digital nomad? (alien.top)
 

I’ve been traveling for the last several years but I have never managed to make a lot of money completely online, I have saved up working in the US a few times and once I got a job for a year in Colombia but that was in person, so no traveling.

I have given a few english classes online as well but nothing sustainable.

I’ve spent the last 3 years becoming a self taught programmer (React) but I havent gotten a job yet although I have started offering freelance services. I am also enrolled in online college for computer science now.

Overall I speak 3 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese) have experience in sales, and I can build websites.

Any advice for someone trying to break out of just the nomad world and into the digital nomad world? How did you do it?

So... which countries with similar cost of living to Thailand got no roaches? 🫣 in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

Colombia is súper cheap and while you will see them in the streets Ive never seen a roach in my apartment living for over a year in MedellÍn. I dont think They like the altitude and cooler temps as much as super hot and humid like the caribbean or SEA.
