Never land
in a new city
alone again.
You booked the flight. You found the apartment. And then it's Tuesday, you're in a café with good wifi, and there is nobody to tell about it.
Nomadbase answers the only question that matters when you arrive: who else is here?
The part nobody posts about
Remote work solved where you can be.
It didn't solve who you're with.
The third week
The first two weeks are exploring. Then the novelty runs out and you realise you have had no real conversation since you landed.
The numbers are lies
Every "cost of living" article quotes a figure from 2019 that someone copied from someone. You budget for it and reality charges you double.
The café roulette
Four cafés a day looking for one with wifi that holds a call, a plug that works, and a table you can sit at for three hours.
The place
Numbers you can actually plan with
Not a listicle. A dataset with a date on every figure.
Real rent, real coffee, real coworking
What a room, a desk and a data plan cost this month — with the date each number was checked.
Wifi that was measured, not claimed
Speed tests run in the café by people who sat there. Plus plugs, noise, and whether they mind laptops.
Visas checked against the source
How long your passport gets you, whether there is a nomad visa, and a link to the government page it came from.
Climate that reads like a season
Not an annual average that describes no month of the year.
Every number carries its source and its date. If we don't have it, the field stays empty and asks you to fill it. We never estimate.

No verified price yet, so the field stays empty and asks you to fill it. This is what we do instead of estimating.
The people
The guide gets you there.
The people are why you stay.
Who is here right now
Check in when you land. See everyone else who did — not who was here in 2023.
The group chat of the city
One per place. No admin, no invite link to hunt for, no WhatsApp group that died in March.
Meetups that actually happen
Someone posts a dinner on Thursday. You tap "I'm in". That's the whole mechanism.
People, not profiles
Everyone here is a working nomad who showed up somewhere. It is small on purpose.
Three taps from landing to a dinner invitation
Find your city
Search 103 cities. Read what it costs, where to work, what your passport gets you.
Check in
One tap when you arrive. You appear on the map for everyone else who is there.
Show up
The city chat, the meetups, the people who have been there six months. Thursday has a plan now.
Not a startup's guess
This community met in person first.
Nomadbase and Nomad Cruise have been running live events for digital nomads for years — weeks in Tarifa, crossings on the Atlantic, thousands of people who shared a table and stayed in touch. The app started as the thing those people used to find each other after the event ended.
That is why it is not a feed of strangers. It is a room that already had people in it — and it opens to the cities where those people actually live.
