Miami - City with Most Overseas Trips per Capita in the US
If you’re all about solving problems and keeping people happy, FlexJobs has a roundup of 20 companies hiring for work-from-home customer service roles. From financial powerhouses like JPMorgan Chase to old pros in staffing like Kelly, there’s a gig for every type of “people-person.” If you’d rather chat with customers from your couch—or a beach bungalow—check out these opportunities before they fill up. ☎️
A new report uncovers where Americans are most likely to hop a plane to international destinations—and it’s not just New York’s frequent flyers. Miami and San Francisco also top the list, buoyed by easy access to global airports and diverse communities with family ties abroad. If you’re pondering a big global trek, this data might give you an idea where fellow Americans are also heading (hint: Europe is huge, but Asia and the Middle East are catching up!). ✈️
Forget the idea that every digital nomad is a 20-something coder or an Instagram influencer. Veteran nomads Brent and Michael share their experiences with house-sitting, co-living spaces, “slomading,” and even living part-time on cruise ships. Their big takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re a retiree or a mid-career freelancer, a fast traveler or a slow wanderer, pick the path that suits your style (and your tolerance for ants and mosquitos). 🌏

✈️ Taiwan’s New Digital Nomad Visa: What You Need to Know
Taipei, Taiwan
If you’ve been scanning the globe for a fresh digital nomad hotspot, Taiwan just dropped a major travel bombshell. The island nation—known for vibrant night markets, stunning mountain vistas, and fast Wi-Fi—has officially rolled out a digital nomad visa that lets you stay for up to six months. Translation? Way more bubble tea and hot springs than a 90-day tourist visa allows. 🍵
Who Can Apply?
The guidelines vary depending on your income and age (with different thresholds if you’re 20–29 or 30+).
You also need proof of remote work experience, plus passport validity and financial statements.
Already scored a nomad visa from another country? That could fast-track your application.
Why Taiwan?
Taiwan’s National Development Council is betting big on attracting top “digital professionals,” pumping in over $4.5 billion annually to support innovation. It’s not just a glorified tourist pass: the government wants 10% of visa holders to stay long-term—meaning you could potentially set down semi-permanent roots. Think of it as an “audition” for your next home base, with options to extend, switch to a work visa, or even nab the coveted “Gold Card.”
What’s the Catch?
Not much, really. Taiwan’s already famed for its safety, affordability, and progressive vibes (Taipei consistently ranks among the safest global cities). And while you’ll have to jump through some paperwork hoops—proof of health insurance, income docs, etc.—the process is fully online. The biggest question is whether six months will be enough time to explore all of Taiwan’s hot pot spots and hidden hiking trails!
If you’re eyeing a new digital nomad frontier in Asia, this might be the perfect launch pad. Drop us a line if you’re heading to Taiwan—or if you’re already there, let us know how it’s going!
