Work from anywhere. Travel smarter. Stress less.

The Best Digital Nomad Tools to Simplify Your Journey

Whether you’re planning your first remote work adventure, relocating abroad, or traveling on a budget, these resources will help you make it happen. We’ve tested and relied on these same tools to simplify everything from visas to flights—and now they’re here to help you do the same.

Note: Some links below are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend what we personally use and trust.

Because we believe that exploring the world should be accessible to everyone.

Relocation Resources

Visa & Entry Requirements

iVisa
  • Why We Recommend It: Simplifies visa applications for travelers. Great for countries with clunky government websites.
  • Why We Love It: We’ve used iVisa multiple times (including for Uzbekistan) to avoid frustrating paperwork delays.

Cost of Living Comparison Tools

  • The Earth Awaits – Estimate monthly living expenses in cities worldwide.
  • Price of Travel – Compare backpacker and mid-range travel costs.

Why We Recommend Them: Both tools provide ballpark cost-of-living estimates, helping you budget for potential moves or long-term stays.

  • Remember: These tools provide great ballpark figures, but always cross-check with expat forums or Nomad List for real-time updates.

Pet Relocation Services

  • Planet Pet Relocation (Guatemala):

Why We Recommend them: Exceptional support for moving pets abroad. They’ve been incredible in helping us relocate Mango to Guatemala.

  • Personal Note: Pet relocation isn’t one-size-fits-all, but this company has made the process seamless for us. Check them out here.

Budget Travel Essentials

Flight Deals & Fare Trackers

  • Skyscanner
  • Google Flights
  • Momondo

Why We Recommend Them: These platforms have been the most reliable helping us find the best deals, compare prices, and track fare trends.

Accommodation Options

  • Hostelworld — Best for budget travelers & backpackers.
  • Booking.com — Find hotels, guesthouses, and apartments.
  • Agoda — Best for Asia deals.
  • Airbnb — Rent short-term or long-term stays.

Why We Recommend Them: These apps offer a range of options for every budget, from hostels to apartments.

Pro Tip: Reach out to accommodations directly to negotiate rates and avoid booking platform fees when possible.

Currency Conversion Tools

  • XE Currency Converter — Get real-time exchange rates before making payments abroad. 

Why We Recommend It: Real-time exchange rates and easy-to-use features make this app a must-have for budget travelers.

Volunteer and Cultural Exchange Platforms

WorkAway

Why We Recommend It: WorkAway connects travelers with hosts offering free accommodation in exchange for help with projects. Perfect for immersive travel experiences.

HelpX

Why We Recommend It: Similar to WorkAway but with an even broader range of opportunities, from house-sitting to helping family businesses, opening the doors to unique experiences on the road.

WWOOF

Why We Recommend It: Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts or anyone looking to learn about sustainable farming. You’ll work on organic farms in exchange for food and lodging.
