A 15 minute city is where everything is available to you within 15 minutes walking, biking, or public transit.

I know Mexico city fits this bill. Playa del carmen as well.

PDC I'd rather avoid. A bit too party tourism, dangerous I found.

Vallarta I've been too and almost fits. I enjoyed there.

My VOIP phone has been having issues lately. Looking to switch.

I now many have had issues with Google Voice abroad over the years.

I started to look into Zoom Phone. It looks interesting. Anyone with experience with this?

I just need a simple phone line that allows me to call/text the US, Canada, and sparingly other countries for business.

Friends/family I use a local sim wherever I am and whatsapp.

I've always worked contract work. I do a service, people pay me "cash". I report that as self-employed business on my taxes. Simple.

One company wants to hire me for for 40 hours per month, but states they can only do so as a W2 employee.

How will this affect me? I know I won't have to pay as much taxes. Is there anything else to consider?

Medical, PTO, etc I don't need and won't receive as a part-time employee.

Does my status as a Digital Nomad come into consideration?
