I have finally got the online travel / expat living calculator uploaded. I have only added two places for now (Bali & Switzerland) but will be adding plenty more over the next few months.
It should give potential Working Nomads an idea of how expensive a place is to live (or how cheap somewhere is in the case of much of Southeast Asia!).
October is still looking like a poor month. Traffic is well down on some of my main sites just like they were last October. I am hoping this poor performance is just a seasonal thing!

Yep, it is a seasonal thing, so don’t worry. October is usually a quiet month online - especially for travel websites.
The Southern Hemsiphere has finished skiing, but it isn’t yet warm enough to go tropical and vice versa for the Northerners.
At least that’s my theory.

Hope you are right Rob! Yesterday was my weakest Monday for a long time and it’s usually my best day of the week.

i had a dreadful october on my cricket shirts site until the champions trophy started, reminding people to go buy the one-day shirts!
i was getting a bit down about it a week ago, but $30 in the last 5 days has picked things up again. not a fortune, but something to keep me going.
