I love it. Partner and I have been in a different city almost every month this year. Mostly mid west and east coast. We might settle down next year or do the same thing on the west coast.

The biggest issue so far is 90% of airbnbs say they have great wifi which turns out to be pretty shit wifi, or at least shit for two tech workers who are both having video calls at the same time during the day. A backup is pretty much required.

Yeah. I've gotten into the habit of asking hosts to send me their exact up/down. Even then, they often have wifi routers that are just awful, so I have to plug in via ethernet and share it from my laptop.

I'm so glad my unexpected nomad journey is coming to an end. :-)

Do you guys work freelance or any company that is willing to have nomads on there payroll?

Genuine curious how you got into this lifestyle.

Kinda got the okay to move around during covid from past companies. We both have changed jobs since and said, "We've been doing this for over a year with no issue" and new companies were okay with it.

That’s really cool to hear. So just good communication!

Yeah. I think smaller companies and companies where you have some prior relationship or are willing to go contract to hire with are much more likely to allow this as well.
