🌍 Tonight: Don’t trust last year’s Mexico advice

When Ken and Chuck left Sacramento for Puerto Vallarta, they braced for all the fears: immigration hassles, safety as a gay couple, the weight of starting over.

Instead, they found kindness, calm, and a house by the ocean.

Their story is real. Their names are real. And it proves what’s possible when you stop circling and start living.

But here’s the part most people miss:

What worked for Ken & Chuck last year may not work for you today.

Because Mexico’s rules keep shifting.

📌 Just last month, the government quietly updated the temporary residency income requirements. Most blogs and “how-to” guides are still quoting the old numbers.

That means someone following last year’s advice could walk into immigration and be denied on the spot.

And that’s just one example. Residency processes, rental laws, even what landlords can legally demand as deposits — they’re all moving targets.

✨ Why the Mexico Soft Landing Plan (MSLP) is Different

We don’t sell static PDFs that go stale the day you download them.

The MSLP lives in Google Docs — which means it’s updated in real time.

• New residency thresholds? It’s in there.

• Fresh scam alerts? Added as they appear.

• Shifts in currency, safety, or utilities? Always current.

It’s not just a guide. It’s a living document, built so you never move with outdated information.

🚨 Final Call — Sale Ends at Midnight

Tonight’s your last chance to grab the Mexico Soft Landing Plan at launch pricing.

Don’t gamble your move on expired numbers and dead blog posts.

Here's what's inside:

• 🌈 The best LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Mérida & beyond
• 🛂 Visa & residency routes explained in plain English (no legal jargon BS)
• 🏡 Housing, rentals, and relocation hacks that save you thousands
• 🏥 What you really need to know about healthcare and safety
• 💸 Honest cost-of-living breakdowns (not the sugar-coated expat blogs)
• 🤝 How to plug into local queer communities fast

Fair warning: the Portugal plan sold out during launch week.

The Mexico Plan will be $197 after release.

But right now? You can lock in your copy for just $97.

Because the biggest risk isn’t moving.

It’s moving with old information.

P.S. Ken & Chuck’s story was Mexico. Yours might be Portugal, Thailand, or somewhere else. But the lesson is the same: rules change. PrideNomad keeps you ahead of them.

NOMAD TIP:

✨ PrideNomads, Stop Working in Bed

Let’s get one thing straight—well, nothing about this is straight—but you get the idea: co-working spaces abroad are not just about WiFi and cold brew. They’re about finding your tribe.

Because newsflash, dear reader: being a PrideNomad can be fabulous, but it can also be lonely as hell.

Sure, you could work from your Airbnb bed in your underwear all day. But spoiler: that’s not networking, that’s depression in drag.

The magic happens in the right co-working spot. And not all of them make the cut. Some are basically frat houses with laptops (and we really don’t need another Chad explaining crypto).

What we do need are spaces with queer energy—creative, safe, collaborative, and occasionally messy in the best way.

Consider this: your next client, collaborator, or maybe even husband could be sitting at the desk across from you. Co-working is where business and belonging get in bed together—and honestly, they’re a damn good match.

And it doesn’t always have to be a formal co-working space. I’m writing this now at the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney. I love the energy of this historic building (you should see the State Library in Adelaide—omg it’s so Harry Potter-ish!).

Right now, it’s filled with students and a variety of humans from all walks of life. Libraries are among my favorite places to work—they’re quiet, they’re free, and you don’t have to buy expensive drinks or food to use the WiFi!

So stop isolating. Find your queer-friendly hub, plug in, and let the magic (and maybe the flirting) happen. Because nomad life isn’t just about working everywhere—it’s about belonging everywhere.

NOMAD EVENTS:

🌍 Japan’s best-kept secret just rolled out the rainbow carpet for us 🏳️‍🌈

I’m gonna tell you something that might annoy a few nomads on Instagram…

Tokyo is overrated.

Yes, the neon’s fun and the sushi is solid. But living there as a queer nomad? It’s like being gay in Times Square. Technically accepted, but broke, cramped, and fighting for scraps of “authentic Japan” with a million other foreigners.

Meanwhile, down on Kyushu island, Fukuoka has been quietly building something better. And most nomads don’t even know it exists.

Which is exactly why it matters.

Here’s what changed the game:

Last year Fukuoka didn’t just tolerate LGBTQ+ travelers. They actively courted us. Sponsored queer travel writers. Hosted industry pros at the IGLTA conference. They put their money where their mouth is—in Asia, where that visibility really counts.

And it's working.

Colive Fukuoka wrapped its first year with 400 nomads from 45 countries. Average stay? Nearly three weeks. This isn't some random meetup anymore.

It's partnered with 30+ nomad communities worldwide -- from Bansko Nomad Fest to Outsite's coliving network. Japan even launched a digital nomad visa in 2024, and Fukuoka is leading the charge to make the country a serious nomad destination.

The city itself?

It’s got all the good parts of Japan, without the chaos:

→ Hakata-style ramen that will ruin you for life 🍜
→ Flat streets you can actually bike without collapsing 🚲
→ Cherry blossoms without the selfie-stick mobs 🌸
→ Beach islands a quick ferry ride away (because sometimes you need to escape your escape) 🏖
→ A cost of living that doesn’t require selling an organ 💸

So here’s the deal:

Colive Fukuoka is back next month for its second edition. Ten days. A mashup of nomads, locals, and builders who are there to actually create something— not just post about it.

Think late-night sake sessions that turn into business ideas, workshops that matter, and yes… karaoke that might get a little out of hand. (Fair warning: the Japanese do not play around with karaoke.)

And since PrideNomad is an official promo partner, you get 20% off with code PRIDENOMAD.

But here’s the catch: this isn’t a plan-it-for-2026 thing. It’s happening in a few weeks. Which means if you’re feeling the pull? Book it now, pack your bag, and let October in Japan be your wildcard move of the year.

P.S. Google “Fukuoka yatai food stalls.” That’s where half the magic happens—late-night street food with locals who actually want to talk to you.

P.P.S. Yes, the internet is blazing fast. It’s still Japan, after all.
