It’s going to be an interesting world in 5-10 years.

In Lisbon Padaria Portuguesa is like Starbucks, you know they are ready to welcome you for some laptop work every day, and the food is tastier!

You were bourn in X therefore you are W.
Makes no sense in today’s world.
Am I the only one trying to dig the pictures of the gym at every hotel I stay?
They make it surprisingly hard.
Boarding for 16h in Marrakesh before going to Essaouira.
What do I need to experience?
I’ve been to Morocco before but never stayed in Marrakesh.
Portugal has no spring.
Or its winter in May, or summer.
Nothing in between.
Today is winter.
The digital nomad state sounds like a fun project to work on.

Let’s build the future—
🌍 One borderless city
🏙 One wild idea
💡 One e-residency at a time
Got any other radical projects pushing new models of living or governance?
I want to learn.
DMs open.
We need new places.
New models.
New rules.
Where people can build, experiment, and reimagine how we live, work, and connect.
That’s what excites me about Próspera.
And why I’ll visit soon to see it in action.
Will it work?
Not sure.
But I’m here to support the moonshots that challenge outdated systems and expand what’s possible.
Because let’s be honest: our current systems weren’t built for this century.
I also have e-residency in Estonia—where I built my first company.
That was already a step forward.
But Próspera?
It’s pushing the edges even more.
It’s a bold bet on what governance could be.
As a Próspera e-resident, I can:
✅ Start a business 100% online
✅ Operate under a lean legal system
✅ Join a global community of builders
✅ Own property
✅ Spend time there IRL (and I plan to)
It’s not a tax haven.
It’s a full-on experiment in:
• Autonomous governance
• Private city design
• Global e-residency
• Attracting talent through excellence
A sandbox for 21st-century citizenship.
What is Próspera?
A charter city built from scratch on Roatán Island, Honduras.
It runs on low taxes, digital-first infrastructure, and a legal framework optimized for entrepreneurs.
Think “startup” meets “nation-building.” Wild, right?
🚨 New e-Residency unlocked!
I’m now officially an e-resident of… Próspera.
A startup city, a governance moonshot, and possibly a glimpse into the future of how we live.
Let me explain 👇
A successful nomad strategy needs 3 things:
1️⃣ Community builders on the ground
2️⃣ A structured experience (not just Wi-Fi)
3️⃣ Global visibility in the right channels
The visa is the invitation.
What happens next is what matters.
Governments think:
👉 Visa = nomads will come
Reality:
Nomads go where the vibe is strong.
Community, coliving, coworking, events, safety.
No ecosystem, no growth.
Just another visa collecting dust.
🇵🇭 The Philippines just announced a digital nomad visa.
Exciting? Yes.
But let’s be honest — a visa is just 1% of the work.
If there’s no community, no experience design, and no global visibility…
Nomads will go somewhere else.
Lets make it live!

I think you confuse nomads with immigrants.

We have limits but get to design our life, environment and relationships.
Come to Brazil instead.
