Tools we actually use for this

  • Revolut logo

    Track the real cost of a city by spending only on Revolut for a week. The app categorises everything in EUR, so your "I think it costs ~€1 400/month" turns into a number. Revolut

  • Wise logo

    If your income is in another currency, use Wise instead of your home bank — at €2 000/month, the saving on FX margins is roughly €60 every transfer. Wise

    Once your runway is solid, parking the buffer on a P2P platform (Esketit) at 10-13% beats letting it idle at 0.5% on a current account. Esketit

Frequently asked

How big is the Airbnb monthly discount?
Typically 20-35% off the nightly price for 28+ night stays. The exact number depends on the host’s settings; on slow-season weeks discounts can hit 50%. Always sort by monthly price, not nightly.
When should I skip Airbnb entirely?
For stays over 60 days. Local rental groups (Facebook, Bali Long-Term Rentals, Lisbon Digital Nomads), Flatio, Nomad Rental, Spotahome and local agencies are 30-50% cheaper for the same apartment, with longer-term contracts.
How do I get a landlord to trust me as a nomad?
Lead with proof — passport, proof of income (Wise balance, contracts), references from previous landlords, and an offer to pay first/last month upfront. A clear, professional message in the local language wins above generic broker outreach.
How much should I budget for monthly rent as a nomad?
Indicative baselines: $400-800/month in Vietnam/Georgia/Thailand outside Bangkok, $800-1,500 in Mexico/Colombia/Portugal outside core, $1,500-2,500 in Spain/Italy/Lisbon-central, $2,500+ in Western Europe and core capitals.
Is co-living worth it?
For your first month in a new city, yes — community, instant social circle, and a soft landing. For longer stays it gets expensive vs a real rental. Many nomads use co-living for week one, then switch to a private flat once they know the neighbourhoods.
