Andrew has been receiving questions about how Nomad Capitalist ranked their recent article entitled, “Nomad Quality of Life Index.” The article featured 100 cities and how friendly they are to the Nomad lifestyle. Some of these cities like London and Dubai are lumped in with Lisbon and Malta Island, which to some, doesn’t make sense. Andrew explains the logic behind each of these rankings and how nomads can use this guide to pick and choose their cities based on the kind of mood they’re in.
