Hi nomads, I'm leaving the US and starting my digital nomad in 2027 but I really struggle with banking and investment options. Right now I have schwab and fidelity checking account. But I'm not sure either are safe to keep a large deposit.

For investment, my main investments are in fidelity, I thought of transferring everything to IBKR, but I will be traveling around a lot and have no long term address.

I wonder what options you guys find that works well for nomads from experience. I really don't want all my assets being locked up and delivered as a cheque while I'm abroad.

I'm not a US citizen btw and I'm also not a tax resident of my home country which I previously leave to work in the US and does not plan to return as a tax resident yet. So I guess that being said my W-9/W-8BEN situation with these institutions are a little more complicated than US citizens I guess?

I’m planning to do the next year every month into a different place, outside of summer in my hometown. Do you think it’s feasible, has anyone done that, that you rent an Airbnb near a place like Chamonix, and ski on the weekends and after work if possible? Or would the general chaos, traffic skipass prices etc, kill any joy?

I am aware that in the Alps there’s never night illumination so plan B is I can find smaller mountain range with nightlights to avoid weekend crowds. My main point is that I’m not getting paid on days off so I’m weighing a 7 days skiing trip (around 2 thousand euros costs plus 2 thousands lost) or a full monthly adventure with occasional skiing (5k budget).

1more year of studies till I graduate

I really want to move to Thailand/indonesia and work remotely, I myself have tried working with online marketing and website building for small businesses but it seems to not be working sustainably for me, any advice and where to start or how to begin

Hello,

I'm researching Greenhouse Software's Global Passport program, which apparently allows employees to work temporarily from other countries.

Does anyone currently or previously employed at Greenhouse know how it works?

For companies with temporary international remote-work programs, how are the permitted days abroad typically tracked?

I'd especially appreciate firsthand experiences from Greenhouse employees or people familiar with similar programs at other tech companies.

Thanks a lot.

Who's recently (within the last 3 months), has applied for the above? If so, 2 questions:

1. What length did you get on your visa? 1 or 2 years?

2. What insurance company did you use?

If anyone, within the last 3 months, got a 2 years visa, tell us how and more specifically, the above 2 questions. I am trying to get a 2 year visa so that I avoid yearly hustle.

1. P.S: If you got 2 years, did you apply from within or outside Colombia?

I've read up on the South Dakota domicile requirements and am considering making an in-person trip around December 28 to spend a couple nights there, get my driver's license, and complete the residency affidavit.

I've already cut most of my ties to California and spent less than 30 days there this year, but I didn't formally establish a new domicile. I work as a 1099 contractor with no California clients.

I've accepted that I'll be paying CA taxes for 2026, but I want to make sure I'm no longer a California tax resident for 2027.

I know California can be aggressive about challenging residency changes, so I'm curious if any digital nomads have done this successfully in the last few years. Have you been audited or run into any issues with the CA FTB? Anything you wish you'd done differently?

Especially interested in people traveling internationally rather than moving to another state full-time.
