Pieter Levels

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,

And there was Nomad List, and it still runs. I think it's now almost 10 years.

I like how that one... I need to do that because the data sets are usually national. They're not on city level, right? So I don't know about the freedom of speech between Bangkok or Chiang Mai. I know them in Thailand.

Well, so it started crowdsourced, but then I realized that you can download more accurate data sets from public sources, like World Bank. They have a lot of public data sets, United Nations, and you can download a lot of data there, which you can freely use. I started getting problems with crowdsourced data where, for example, people from India, they really love India, and they would submit...

the best scores for everything in India. And not just like one person, but like a lot of people, they would love to pump India. And I'm like, I love India too, you know, but that's not valid data. So you started getting discrepancies in the data between where people were from and stuff. So I started switching to datasets and...

And now it's mostly datasets, but one thing that's still crowdsourced is, so people add where they are, they add their travels to their profile, and use that data to see which places are upcoming and which places are popular now. So about half of the ranking you see here is based on actual digital nomads who are there.

You can click on a city, you can click on people, and you can see the people, the users that are actually there. And it's like 30,000 or 40,000 members. So these people are in Austin now.

Yeah, so we have meetups. So people organize their own meetups. And we have about, I think like 30 per month. So it's like one meetup a day. And I don't do anything. They organize themselves. So I just... It's a whole black box. It just runs and I don't do a lot on it. It pulls data from everywhere and it just works.
