Best online communities for nomads

Being a nomad can get a bit lonely, especially for those that don't make friends easily. But luckily, like everything else about this lifestyle, making friends can be done with a digital approach too. There are so many wonderful online communities created specifically for nomads so finding like-minded people in similar situations and with similar interests just became much much easier.

Let's take a look at some of the most popular sites:

Nomadlist

Nomadlist.com has become the most popular site for nomads all over the world. Their website provides a wealth of information about any country or even city that nomads frequent. Each city is ranked according to a large criteria such as internet speeds, weather, safety, cost of living and the friendliness of the locals. So if you're looking for your next destination, this site should definitely be on your research list. All members are able to leave reviews of cities so other nomads can benefit from each other's experiences. There is also a large online community that you can chat to and arrange meetups with other members in your area.
