🔍 Ever wanted to live inside a mystery novel?
Now you can…
Spend 7 days inside an English manor where the whole week IS a mystery game. You can expect clues, codes, and a story unfolding around you the whole time, building to one big dramatic finale.
If you're the type of person who loves a good board game night, this is that energy turned up to a thousand. Except instead of a few hours around the kitchen table, you get a full week of living inside the plot.
And no, you won't be solving mysteries all day long. You'll still have time to work and explore.
The Mystery Coliving is run by Dave Neale and Isabelle Dapprich. Dave is an award-winning mystery game designer and long-term nomad, so you might have run into him around the world in colivings or on a nomad cruise. Isabelle is an event manager who also facilitates nomad trips and colivings. Between the two of them, you're sure to have an unforgettable week.
📍 Where: Yorkshire Dales, England (2h45 from London by train)
📅 When: October 11-18
🔥 Status: Almost sold out!

🇺🇸 Want to try digital nomad life in the U.S.?
Not everyone can pack up and leave the country for months at a time.
Your job might not allow it, or you might be in a season where leaving the country isn't realistic.
Or maybe you've always wanted to experience living in a U.S. city but don't know where to start.
That's where TulsaBound comes in.
TulsaBound is a coliving program that brings together a small group of people for two weeks or a month in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You get a one-bedroom apartment, coworking access, and a full calendar of events.
I spent one month living in Tulsa through this program, and it was one of the most refreshing and surprising times of my nomad journey so far.
A few of my favorite things about the experience:
The built-in community. You join a group of up to 12 people, all experiencing Tulsa together. Everyone's working remote or on their own project, so you're with like-minded people and get to explore together.
The programming. Events are planned for you each week, so you can explore the city and meet the community in it. It takes away the pressure of figuring it out all on your own, and you end up at events and meeting people you might not have by yourself. Plus, the program provides transportation to organized events, so the community all rides together!
Tulsa itself. I didn't know much about Tulsa before, and I hadn't really planned to visit. But now I get why so many people move there and never leave. It's super welcoming and feels full of opportunity, like you'd have a community behind you no matter what you wanted to build. It's hard to explain until you're actually there.
The list goes on and on.
If this sounds like the kind of community you wanna be part of, the next cohort is in October.
📅 One month: Oct 2-31 or two-week sessions: Oct 2-16 / Oct 17-31
💰 Cost: $2,500 all-in (housing, coworking, events, airport pickup)
📍 Where: Tulsa, Oklahoma

✈️ Travel plans & upcoming trips
I’ve been in Orlando, FL for the past week activitymaxxing with my brother! We’ve wakeboarded at the cable park, walked many laps around Lake Eola, eaten Puerto Rican inspired sushi, hit a PB in bowling, watched Love Island, did aquapilates, and so much more.
All in between working remotely of course.
Heading back to North Carolina next to celebrate July 4th with the fam and their new puppy at the lake 🤭.
What’re you looking forward to this summer?? (besides puppy pics in the next edition)
