Hey nomads! 👋
I’m Luca Mussari, co-founder of Freaking Nomads, together with @Irene Wang.
We quit our corporate life, fell in love with digital nomadism… and quickly realized what a HOT mess it all was. Information was scattered, outdated, or just plain... wrong? Spread across dead groups, stale blog posts, and platforms that hadn’t kept up.
So, we built Freaking Nomads as the fresh and modern platform we wish existed: one clean, no-filter place for everything digital nomads actually need to live this awesome lifestyle.
Why Freaking Nomads isn’t just another “platform” for digital nomads?
🕵️♀️ Crowdsourced Insights: Every city and workspace listing is vetted by fellow nomads themselves who can submit Wi-Fi speed and can directly review safety, cost, and vibes.
💬 No-BS discussions: ask anything (tax tips, the best pad thai stall, you name it) and get answers from people who’ve been there.
🏠 Workspace Directory: You can search for coworking spaces, coliving spots, and laptop-friendly cafés worldwide
🔗 One-click group links—Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Meetup… join local nomad communities without digging through endless posts
🎉 Actual events: from tiny bar meetups to full-blown nomad festivals, you’ll see it all on our calendar!
We’re two nomads building for nomads. And we keep tweaking the hub to solve our own problems (and yours).

We’d love your feedback, contributions, and new ideas. So we'll see you on the platform! 🙌
Hi Luca and Irene, thanks for sharing Freaking Nomads with the Travel Massive community!
Nice community platform you've built. What's it developed with?
The Internet needs more "local" forums like these! You will have to nurture your discussions (and defend against low quality content) to build a reliable and long-lived community, so be sure to keep at it!
Hey Ian, thanks so much for your kind words and glad to have our platforms featured in Travel Massive!
Our forum is still new, so I'm sure we will definitely encounter these problems soon (🥲), so thanks so much for your advice, super helpful!
The platform is fully custom and it's been built using NextJS and React 😁
Nice! I just joined. I absolutely love travel and am just starting to explore the possibility of becoming a digital nomad either part-time or full-time so this is great timing. I had looked at a couple of Facebook groups in the last week or so, and they were duds regarding genuine information and help.
Great to have you in our community Patty! We do have a ton of resources, so we hope you will find something useful on our platform!
Feel free also to check out our main site freakingnomads.com where we share a ton of guides for aspiring digital nomads, including how to find accommodations, deal with taxes, digital nomad visas, and so much more!
Thank you! Will do.
Really cool website, I love the UX and how pretty it looks – for me as a user it's very important for things to work quick and intuitive. I met Luca and Irene recently in Sofia as well – keep up the great work :))
Thanks so much for your lovely words, Maria! We are super happy to have you in our community and thanks so much for the feedback.
The look and feel of Freaking Nomads as it's always been one of the things that we wanted to make stand out. Irene is been working hard to always make our platform (and branding) feel as fresh as possible so we are super glad to see you like it 🔥
Great to see this here, congrats guys!
Thanks so much, Chris! 🙏
This looks amazing! I've been pitched 10 Best Destinations for Digital Nomads Ranked in 2025 The study analyzed 1,370 locations worldwide using a weighted scoring system that balances affordability, safety, quality of life, infrastructure, nomad return rates, and social media presence. Data was gathered from public sources and community-driven platforms such as Nomad List, Numbeo, and Instagram hashtags to ensure a comprehensive view of the digital nomad landscape in 2025. I was wondering if you all might be interested in the results to add to your website?
Congratulations to the team for joining Travel Massive! The website is amazing!! super intuitive and, most importantly, full of valuable information for us digital nomads. I discovered you through social media, and when I visited the site I was like wow, a true traveler’s paradise! Thank you for all the work you do.
Thanks so much Angie! Thanks for being part of our Freaking Nomads community 💖
