Revolut got MiCA license. Crypto on the app now has EU protection. Direct transactions, clearer fees & better safeguards. Plus, exchange up to 500 000 EUR in stablecoins monthly without fees. As a digital nomad, this transparency matters. Changes roll out Nov 25. Less to worry about.

Best nomad projects: the ones locals need. Nomads paint walls for stays or build websites for cafes they love. Project specifics don't matter. Leave a place better than you found it. Stop being a tourist, build real connections abroad.

Nomad impact isn't about stamps, it's about connections. Every chat plants seeds, every supported local creates ripples. We're weaving trust across borders. The bartender who remembers you, the nomad you inspired, the charity you backed—that's your legacy.

Avoid the lonely nomad trap. Volunteer at a coliving or coworking space—best way to build real relationships with nomads & locals. Trade work for housing & community. Solo travelers become core members in weeks. You're contributing value & forming lasting connections.

Icod de los Vinos: Drago Millenario, a 1,000-year-old Dragon Tree. Magical botanical garden with herbs & Atlantic views. Tenerife's microclimates from sea level to Mount Teide. Brunch at Casa del Drago = bliss.

Never heard of Honor of Kings till Malaysia. It's the top mobile game with 100M daily players. Played DOTA as a Warcraft 3 mod 20 years ago. Now this Chinese MOBA makes $2.6B yearly & dominates Asia. Living here opens my eyes! Thrilled by these discoveries!

Forget designer chairs.
As a tall guy, I measure cafés by one thing: can I sit for 10+ minutes without back pain?
That's it.
Your trendy furniture means nothing if I'm squirming after one coffee. Great espresso won't bring me back if your chairs are torture devices.

Remember when Grab plastered Google Maps across KL in 2019? Metro for heavy traffic, then Grab for the last mile. They've disappeared from Maps, but that last-mile strategy still works! Metro beats gridlock. Grab closes the gap. The best travel hacks outlive marketing.

Verne wrote about the Nautilus 150 years ago. I boarded a real electric submarine in Tenerife. For 60 EUR, no diving course is needed. We descended 30 meters. Watched seabream, trumpet fish, and garden eels. Crew divers played with rays on their heads. Fiction became reality.

AWS having a bad day took Buffer, Canva, Perplexity, Zapier, & Help Scout down. Wild how many tools rely on the same backbone. Wish more companies built real backups instead of trusting one cloud. The internet shouldn’t freeze when one provider sneezes.

Using Beeper for a year; it works! WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X - all in one app via Matrix. Remember XMPP? Let’s go further. If Telegram builds a WhatsApp bridge, others will follow. Imagine messaging like email: send/read anywhere. That's the future!

6 yrs testing Malaysian telcos taught me what matters. Hotlink's RM12/month plan is excellent: eSIM, 5G, Maxis coverage, 22GB + hotspot ($2.85 USD). Regular #, free SMS/calls. Zero minutes? No problem, WhatsApp rules. Stop chasing premium, find needs. Budget beats all sometimes.

Instagram just added Live Activities support for Dynamic Island on iPhone! No more failed story uploads when switching apps. Now I can record a gym session, hit post, and return to my workout app while the upload continues in the background. Proper multitasking for creators!

Revolut has finally cracked Portugal's banking network! 🇵🇹 Portuguese IBAN and MB Way are live for all residents. Meanwhile, local banks like ActivoBank struggle with basic tasks. Revolut is fast, mobile-first, and globally oriented, now perfectly integrated with Social Security, IRS, and MB Way.

Masca is the most impressive spot in Tenerife. I first visited in 2020 and keep returning. The winding road descends between miradors to a small village. The V-shaped valley is spectacular! Start early to avoid crowds. Check my favorite lunch place below ⬇️

That should be an easy paid option in Booking and Airbnb. Especially considering landing in a new destination in the morning and needing to wait hours to check in.
