Do any of you regularly go "slowmad" and if so what's your strategy for apartments? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

I'm packed and put together in about 30 minutes.

Takes a bit longer when I slomad though.

Maybe optimize your setup? Of course we might have completely different gear setups.

Yeah.I don't think I could do it in 3 days but sounds about right!

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.

Traveling to Vietnam for the first time next week, should I get a fake onward flight? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

They didn't ask me. Just rubber stamped my passport.

But $12 is good insurance if you use OnwardTicket.

You could always just step out of line and buy a ticket but I didn't have a problem.

Always thinking about my Thailand trip. in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone
