Creating digital nomad communities, with Gonçalo Hall from NomadX

When your lifestyle means you travel all the time, what do you look for in a destination? And what does it mean to feel like you're 'coming home'?

Today's guest Gonçalo Hall knows that digital nomads seek community and connectedness, alongside their next adventure - and when you don't live in a fixed location, that sense of community matters more than ever.

NomadX is combining the persistence and permanence of a digital community, with a growing network of physical communities - places that digital nomads can find the accommodation and infrastructure they need to do their work, but can also find those less tangible things we all need.  Other people who understand you, events which immerse you in the local culture, and ways to connect, share, and give back. As Gonçalo has memorably explained it, "people don't move from one place to another, they move from one community to another" - and NomadX make that easy, sustainable, and enjoyable.

From Madeira to Cape Verde, via Brazil, Switzerland, and a dozen more pins on the map, you can find your tribe wherever you go. And that tribe is changing, differentiating, and growing all the time.
