How to make digital nomading in europe actually work it? I fricking work 3pm to 11pm and when I'm done the streets are dead and I have to eat the shittiest last resort food instead of going to a restaurant. I'm considering giving up this lifestyle, after literally only learning how to code and getting into this industry so that I could DN.
Then on the other hand, I just spent a year in Latin America, which is the same timezone as East Coast, except if you leave your house after 6pm you get stabbed.
How do you make DN worthwhile? Was this all a fricking meme? I think I hate life

Digital nomading is definitely not the dream life that some are selling. Sure that can work for most people for a time but once the novelty has faded you're left with a pretty empty life with no home, few connections. Most DN settle somewhere after a few years.
I travel my wife and I visit home regularly so I don't feel empty. It's literally just the time zone thing, I can't get in the groove
I despise every place I've ever been to in the United States, every single thing about the country, the people, every single thing I HATE AMERICA. (I'm an american.) I kind of liked Portland Oregon, but I would need to get up at 6am to make my 9am standup meeting so it's not worth it. Please make recommendations... I did an entire US tour to try to convince myself it's not a total shithole, but it is.
Leave the United States. We're the same when it comes to the belief this country is a nasty shithole. Get an online job, or start an online business and leave. Even fricking Punta Cana or Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic is a night and day difference. You might even leave your wife after being swarmed by dominican women for being the only non-groid expat.
LOL my wife and I just went to Punta Cana, I loved it. It's mad safe, and I met some local friends that were genuine friends (never once asked me for money or to pay for stuff).
It's just too damn hot there to go right now.
I work east coast hours, that would be hell on earth
And yeah I have an online job, I'm OP
You have a wife that is useless for cooking and so you complain that you have few food options after 11 pm? Well now you are stuck with a wife who can't cook, so you are screwed on the eating actual meals front... You could learn to cook yourself or as a couple?
You know you could pickup food before 3 pm and eat it after 11 pm? Sometimes certain foods taste better later on. Recently I got a falafel and I couldn't finish the whole thing. I eat half of it the next morning and I swear it tasted so much better than when it was freshly made for some reason.
Shut the frick up loser, my wife cooks breakfast and lunch for us, we like to leave the apartment at night and have dinner so that we can enjoy the local cuisine and ambiance.
maybe you should have thought of that before you got a job where you finish at 11pm then huh
Maybe he thought that the whole of Europe would adapt to his schedule.
>I kind of liked Portland
>complains about nearly getting stabbed in Latin America
Filthy dumb anarcho scum
>I have to eat the shittiest last resort food instead of going to a restaurant
are you actually an adult? learn to look after yourself
The time zone thing is definitely one of the main drawbacks. I'd honestly stick to Latin America if I couldn't get a job that lets me work whenever. The fact you weren't able to find anything enjoyable there makes me think you'd be better off moving somewhere cheap in the U.S. and just settling there.
Go to SK or Japan
If you can't handle the time difference, refuse to go anywhere where there is no time difference, and refuse to get a job that allows a flexible schedule, then you aren't cut out for digital nomad.
I mean, really. What were you expecting?
Go home moron.
get a job that doesn't depend on a timezone. learn how to work asynchronously moron.
ZERO sympathy, dorker
the world is your oyster and you dare complain? Frick outta here
Find a job in Europe, problem solved
hostels are so fricking expensive right now fricking $50 a night for a bottom of the barrel hostel like JESUS FRICKIN CHRIST and 3rd tier cities are $30 a night. Dark times ahead... please open more fricking hostels!!!
just travel in summer and sleep outside at that point lol
Schizo LARP
You're fricking moronic OP. First of all I don't know where in buttfrick nowhere you're living that's shut down at 11 pm but there's plenty to do here in Italy at that time.
As far as food goes it's still possible to get food delivered in Yurop if you genuinely cannot leave the house for even 30-40 minutes to eat a meal for work so I don't know what you're schitzhing about
You need to have flexible work hours.
I work whatever hours I want, so I can go out in the day or go out at night.
Its a golden chain op. Just be glad you have work to keep you occupied, look what happened to notch
Move to Spain. 8:00pm is when restaurants first open for dinner.
