Where to Next?
See what countries our Nomad Stays are active. We have hand-picked stays that suit the longer staying digital nomad with a minimum stay of one week.
We focus on locations for adventure sports and strong digital nomad community, and good wifi but as you know we never rely on someone else’s wifi we always have our own options. We are building a community of nomads for you to hang out, and connect with other adventurous nomads and stay connected with where you can go next.
If you want and on line Coworking, while you travel we have our Virtual Coworking as well with plenty of events each week for the entrepreneur building a business while travelling. If you’re looking for a team of global mentors to help you grow you can join the Sandtracks CLUB for only $97 USD a quarter, group mentoring for less than $32 a month. We have it all.
