3. Travel insurance
SEGUROS IATI
There is nothing better than travelling with the peace of mind that if anything happens you are in good hands. IATI is a travel insurer, recommended not only by us but also by a large part of the travel community.
WORLD NOMADS
Another big insurer specialised in travel. The coverages differ from IATI so you should read the terms and conditions of both carefully before purchasing any of them.
SAFETYWING
The cheapest insurance for digital nomads and the one we currently use. Although it does not cover electronic equipment or cancellations, the price compared to other insurances makes it one of the best options if you are a digital nomad.
4. Cards with no fees
REVOLUT
Card with no fees when paying abroad. The free plan allows you to withdraw up to €200 from international ATMs without paying any fees, then it’s 2%. Very easy to use from your phone, it allows you to have everything under control in a very simple way.
BNEXT
Another choice when travelling. You are not charged fees for the first €500 you withdraw from foreign ATMs, and after that it is 1.5%.
