Digital Nomad Resources

Calling all digital nomads, business owners and bloggers, you are going to love these recommendations. Below, you’ll find all the resources and tools that make my life as a blogger and a digital nomad mom easier. 

And of course, since I love social media, I couldn’t resist adding those can’t-live-without tools that optimize every social media expert’s work.

Want to work on your social media strategies? I’d like to remind you that we offer 1:1 social media coaching sessions too. In these sessions, I will walk you through our proven processes and recommend tailored strategies that will help you grow your social media presence to reach your ideal clients.

The resources listed below offer great value. We’ve ensured that some are free or affordably-priced, as we’re well aware of the financial struggles that occur when transitioning to a remote lifestyle! You can also consult this list of affordable tools for digital nomads for more information.

Travel Insurance is nothing sexy but worth having! And this one is made for all your digital nomad needs in mind. We love SafetyWing because it lets us sign up and cancel any time – as a digital nomad family, we need to be flexible as often our plans change.

Tailwind

A tool I genuinely love because it’s such a time saver! It helps me manage and schedule my Pinterest account and allows me to be active without spending all day on the platform. With Tailwind Create I save so much time creating pins as they suggest pin designs that I can easily adapt and edit. Perfect!

Travel Resources

Whether you’re planning to move abroad or taking a shorter trip, the recommendations below are the travel resources we use when booking our own trips. Easy to navigate and simple to use, bookmark these travel websites and watch your travel planning stresses fly away.

Booking flights

We find the best flight deals by using Skyscanner. This website is world-renowned for its flexible and easy nature.

Booking hotels

When it comes to booking accommodation abroad, we use the three websites below:

  • Airbnb – Sometimes cheaper & better than staying in a hotel.
    With my discount code, you get 30 Euro off your stay if you use this Airbnb link to sign up for a new account. 
  • Agoda –This is the first site I check if we end up staying in a hotel.
  • Booking.com – For discounted hotels worldwide. This is usually the second page I scan through before I make a decision.

More useful travel websites

There are so many travel websites available, so here’s a short list of the ones we use the most. If you’re planning your next holiday, make sure to check our travel guides.

  • World Nomads Travel Insurance – I think it’s wise to have a designated travel insurance (even if your health insurance from back home would cover). It depends on each country, but check if you’d be better off with this insurance rather than staying with your home one. It’s recommended as a Lonely Planet partner too, what can I say.
  • SafetyWing Travel Insurance – I have updated this list with another great travel insurance: so many of my nomad friends swear by the great service and unbeatable price policy of SafetyWing – and we personally are using it every time we stay longer than 60 days in one country. From nomads for nomads – check it out!
  • Get Your Guide – this is a great site where you can compare and book sightseeing tours, attractions, excursions, things to do and fun activities from around the world on their site.
  • Skype – Still my number one choice when it comes to making phone calls. Often I buy a SIM card for each country I travel to, but I use up my Skype talk time instead. All I have to do is to connect to my mobile data and then I call via Skype. It’s the cheapest way, I’ve found.
  • Couchsurfing – I have used this a few times in South America, Hawaii, Europe and a couple of times in Australia. You need to build a profile and be safe in choosing a host for this free service. Here is one of my early posts on how I stretched my budget to extend my travels. Today, I prefer to stay in apartments that I rent to be able to focus on work and #getshitdone 🙂
