anonymous phone ☎️
1.) buy a pixel 3a or higher refurbished or used
2.) flash calyxOS or grapheneOS to it
3.) buy a eSIM "data only" on bitrefill.com (160 countries supported)
buy with lightning, use one time email
4.) scan eSIM QR ---> phone does the setup
4.) use simpleX for voice and video calls
5.) firefox klar for web browsing
i think this setup is quite good
you only cant call people on their phonenumber
Ooooo I like this 👌
Vietnam Visa (up to 9 months on Tourist visa)
A govt visa departmnet that gets back to you within a few minutes of an enquiry is something of beauty when you're a nomad. I asked to expedite my visa and got a reply back in a few minutes. Epic!
Vietnamese visa is available for 3 months (tourist) and extendable twice so thats 9 months of visas if you want.
I'm off to Da Nang Vietnam to surf and work for 2 months before returning to Thailand (Thailand is the best imo).

If it's a girl don't worry for now.... 😄
Sweet outdoor gym in Chiang Mai Thailand in Old City. Its fun because there all walks of life and ages and sexes here. Get to chat to some real Thai people who aren't in the tourist bubble.

Ice latte at Story 106 Cafe , Chiang Mai, Thailand - a good place to work from if your here.
Perspective is key... but many will not attempt a change imo. Perhaps our life events also cause a change in perspective? The idea of Karma comes to mind a la Hindu definition. Ie life is somewhat if not a lot pre determined. Free choice is there but not always accessible. Just some thoughts.
Low key, low budget v good Thai food in Old Town Chiang Mai
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WhGipDytHDk1cHkq6
This spot is tucked away and mostly not seen my tourists but you can find really healthy sized portions for 35 BAHT (approx $1USD) which is 5-50 BAHT cheaper than anywhere else I've seen especially in Old Town where all the tourists are.

Argentina might be a good idea also!
Cost of Living Crisis? Move to Mexico or Thailand for a year(s)
I keep seeing posts about cos of living crisis in Europe and US and many places where cost of living has always been high and is getting higher.
Digital Nomad or remote lifestyle means you can move to where the costs are low but keep your high developed world wage.
Consider moving to Mexico, for eg Oaxaca City, or Thailand, Chiang Mai for a year to work remotely in your current job but from a cheaper destination.
Obviously this is a difficult transition to make for many but easier if you are single or couple with no kids.
I can personally recommend Oaxaca City and Chiang Mai as potential spots as they are both very cheap and safe (certain parts of Oaxaca City are not but plenty are near downtown and tourist areas so shop around).
Previously I wrote a post here talking about the cost of living in Chiang mai where one person can easily get by for $750 p/month USD or even less depending on your particular lifestyle. I suspect you could do it for around $500 if you lived in a not so nice place and cooked a fair amount.

Daily Zap amounts down... send a zap today!
Would you zap more if there was a dirty fiat zap button? I'm on Amethyst and this isnt a thing but Id be tempted to send USDT for eg more than btc. If you use Strike Wallet you can easily have it flipped into BTC when it arrives automatically. Maybe other clients have this??
