Emil Moe ( https://hashnode.com/@emilmoe "Emil Moe's Profile - Hashnode") there's many nomads in México, a lot of them are in cities close to the beach like Playa del Carmen. Mexico is a pretty big country, so as long as you avoid dangerous areas or regions you will be fine. I've been there like 4 times and I've never felt particularly unsafe.
Saying that sexism is not the problem is absurd. You can't extrapolate a very specific issue to just saying "oh there's just bad people". Visibility is the most important tool we have to address this type of issues. Women got tired of being harassed and started to tell their story, that's why we are having this conversation, that's why many man empathize with this situation, even though they will never be able to fully experience it. And that's the truth, even if many won't like what I would say, but man speak from a privileged position, it's simple, when a guy is walking at night in a lonely street, they don't experience the fear of thinking about the possibility of getting raped. When going to a job interview, man don't get asked if they're planning on having children soon. In their jobs, man don't have to worry about being harassed and not speaking up because they desperately need to protect their job. Among others. Stop undermining the issue. Use the word. It's called it's called SEXISM.
Nice story, although I find the title a bit misleading. This is story about traveling, since you stated you aren't making an income online yet, which is basically the minimum requirement to be a digital nomad. I try not get to caught up in what a DN is or isn't anyway, the concept has been too romanticized to a point where people have this tendency to look at it even as a career, it is not. I like the word 'location independence' better. A cornerstone in the digital nomad scene is infrastructure, all of those problems you mentioned, we research before making a move to a new location. So it DOES matter where you go, not just because of the infrastructure, but because there are also visa restrictions that can be harder to tackle depending on the passport you hold, even if you don't require one to visit a country, you will still have a limited set of days to stay there legally. Then there's time-zones, if you're working for a company where its majority of people are working from a fixed place, if you're not careful about choosing time zone friendly countries you might face a lot of slow communication issues or you'll find yourself working at strange hours. My unsolicited advise always goes along the lines of, secure a healthy online income before pursing the digital nomad crusade, being location independent comes with its own struggles, you don't want to be worried too about your financial status and overall well being on a foreign country miles away from home.
