I’ve made an algorithm to score these places based on user reviews, WiFi speeds, proximity to each other (like it’ll recommend Hubba in Bangkok, and a hotel near that so you can walk to your work). It now includes over 10,000 places to work, like coworking spaces and coffee shops, and sleep, like hotels and hostels.This means, it now has 35,000 data points. In the last few months, I’ve worked together with a team of editors in the last few months to add the world’s 500 biggest cities, with about 70 data points (like safety, fun to the best hospitals). When Nomad List launched, it had data on 25 cities, with 3 data points per city (cost, internet, temperature).Here’s a little update on Nomad List itself: I’ve rewrote the entire site this month and will launch it soon as Nomad List 2.0, you can check it out at. It’s time for my regular request for feedback on Nomad List and all the related sites (including this forum, # nomads, Nomad Jobs etc.). If you want to know more about Toptal ( our developer community, how we travel, how we operate) or you just want to pick my brain, I’ll be happy to help where I can! Last year, I wrote a post on Tim Ferriss’s blog about how to travel as a founder/engineer that has some tips I’ve learned that you might find helpful:

We operate from more than 93 countries, and since we encourage everyone to travel, a lot of us are digital nomads. Although our network has grown to thousands of people, Toptal doesn’t have any offices. We are also an a16z-backed company in growth mode, and this year we’ll hit about $80 million in recurring sales. Toptal is a private network of awesome freelance software engineers, and companies hire us to build cool stuff. My name is Breanden Beneschott, and I’m a Co-founder and the COO at Toptal.Īt Toptal, we help developers get work they can do from anywhere.Īs a digital nomad, I’ve lived and worked remotely in >30 countries since I finished school four years ago.
