Some international destinations for remote workers are more digital nomad-friendly than others. Internet speeds can vary widely across countries, cities, and even within a single city block due to factors like the data transfer technology (e.g., fiber optic cable vs. DSL or satellite) at a particular location. To minimize the risk of internet-related work disruptions, is there a reliable way for nomads to verify accommodations’ internet speeds before booking their stay? Yes, there is!
Wired Nomad has a search engine that allows travelers to browse short-, medium-, and long-term accommodations by internet performance according to host- and guest-submitted information. This innovative system increases transparency during the booking process and makes life easier for both hosts and guests. Product reviews confirm this: “This platform took away the guesswork and made my planning much smoother. My stay in Spain was productive and stress-free, thanks to the reliable internet connection I found through The Wired Nomad.” With information on internet speeds conveniently at their fingertips, guests can browse only those listings that meet their work-specific internet needs, which may be simple (like basic email or Slack) or more bandwidth-intensive (such as uploading large files or participating in video conferencing). Wired Nomad also helps hosts minimize complaints and early cancellations due to guests not being able to work well at the accommodation.
