Like I put it on Nomad List in the cities as well. But I also realized you don't need to monetize everything. Some products are just cool. And it's cool to have hood maps exist. I want this to exist, right?

And also where do you put the ad, right? Like if you have a website, you can put like an ad box or you can do like a product placement or something. But you're talking about a map app where 90% of the interface is a map. So what are you going to do? You're going to like, like it's hard to figure out where is this.

No, exactly. Because if you make people pay for it, you lose 99% of the user base and you lose the crowdsource data. So it's not fun anymore. It stops being accurate, right? So you kind of, they pay for it by crowdsourcing the data, but then, yeah, it's fine. You know, it doesn't make money, but it's cool.

So Nomad List started because I was in Chiang Mai in Thailand, which is now like the second city here. And I was working on my laptop. I met like other nomads there and I was like, okay, this seems like a cool thing to do, like work on your laptop in a different country, kind of travel around. But back then the internet everywhere was very slow.

But back then the internet everywhere was very slow.

So the internet was fast in, for example, Holland or United States, but in a lot of parts in South America or Asia was very slow, like 0.5 megabits. So you couldn't watch a YouTube video. Thailand weirdly had like quite fast internet, but I wanted to find like other cities where I could go to like work on my laptop, whatever, and travel. But we needed like fast internet.

So I was like, let's, you know, crowdsource this information with a spreadsheet. And I also needed to know the cost of living because I didn't have a lot of money. I had $500 a month. So I had to find a place where like the rent was like, you know, $200 per month or something where I had, you know, some money that I could actually rent something. And, um,
