Nomad News: Today we’re reporting on recent data from Microsoft showing that remote employees might be working more hours than ever. Including stats such as:

40% of internet users checking emails at 6am 😧

16% more meetings after 8pm 😰

and 20% of workers checking emails on SATURDAY 😱

We discuss why people need to chill out on working so hard, corporations vs startups, and meetings that could’ve been an email. Plus, Nomad Nightmares about power outages, toilet paper, and unsafe water.

Is remote work dying or thriving? We’re joined by Marisa and Jeff, co-founders of Beach Commute and hosts of the Digital Nomad Experts podcast, to talk about the working side of nomad life. We discuss how to land a fully-remote job, why remote doesn’t always mean “work from anywhere,” the best careers and industries for remote work, and tons of inspirational advice.

We discuss some of the funniest city names in the world (excluding the UK, which deserves its own episode). But first, we play a real voicemail from Steve’s mom about some of our “risque” language on the show. This ends up being extremely ironic as we then delve into cities such as:

Sandwich, MA

Horni Police, Czech Republic

Fugging, Austria (formally Fucking)

Bangkok, Thailand

Batman, Turkey

Hell, Norway

Dildo, Canada

Muffin Butte, Utah

Cumming, Georgia

Intercourse, Penn

Kuk, Estonia

Tittybong, Australia

Climax, Michigan

Anus, France

Condom, France

Boring, Oregon

Poo, Spain

This week we chat with Jordi Llonch, Head of Growth at Satlantis, to learn about his bold mission to create the world’s first travel-centric social network. We cover how it works, what makes it different, why it’s built on Nostr, and how it could change the way nomads connect with places, people, and events.

You can explore the beta version of his app here: Satlantis.io
