Digital nomads this week traded real talk on research overload, house hunting, and meetups: @nytoraja ditched exhaustive Cartagena planning after YouTube, Reddit, Google Maps, and AI tools left him overwhelmed by scam stories and bad reviews, now he just walks and follows good vibes. minonomad seconded the shift, preferring to ask locals or explore on the spot instead of pre-screening every stop. urbano floated buying cheap houses in Japan, while rajeevn warned that rising Toronto property taxes and mortgage rates may make real estate less attractive than the historical 10% S&P 500 return. @bill_bsb suggested spinning up a dedicated group to coordinate the upcoming Web Summit in Lisbon. nomads.com/chat/general
