Loved this video. We’re moving to the Gold Coast in December due to work, I’ve watched many videos (I’ve never even been to the GC!) and this is the one that made me the most excited. Thanks for filming, you’ve really helped me and my family settle some nerves
Gold coast is the bomb!! Gr8 lifestyle all year round and its CLEAN. It never feels crowded and u can do as much or as little as u want. U get the chill vibe without having to rough it if u know wot i mean.
Chris, you have such great story telling skills! And your editing marries well with your communication. Sweet content & new fan and supporter of your work!
One of the most expensive places on earth as a digital nomad. Cool for a visit but doesn't make a lot of sense to me medium / long term unless you're Aussie...
The GC has been our home for over a decade. It has its cons, but in comparison to the hundreds of places we've experienced, it will always be our first choice for living. The nicest city in one of the nicest countries in the world!
Love you guys !!! This is an awesome video & love you have shared it with us. Gold Coast is so amazing i love everything about it. Hoping to one day live in such a beautiful state. Working on it. Enjoy guys
5 years on whats your perspective on gold coast living? living near sydney beaches means the GC doesnt seem that appealling other than perhaps cheaper. did covid ignite your travel bug again?
Obviously Covid has changed everything. Many of us dont care about Kangaroo tours on a Digital Nomad thread but what about internet quality and reliability there and the best town in the area? For those who arent interested in co working spaces but work from our apt/hotel/room what is the cost and options there? Also visa requirements?
Hi, cool lifestyle. I will travel the world in a few months. I live in Switzerland, it's ok, but it's not the country for me. Till now, I didn't consider Gold Coast in Australia, but I like it now. I will begin with some Caribbean islands, then Bali and the rest of the world, but it should be a safe place for women. Keep enjoying your life as long as you can.
I love the Gold Coast. But after 25 years in Australia, I need to do my round of Asia. Besides, realistically speaking, Australia is the most expensive country in the region and Gold Coast is not the cheapest place in Australia either. I seriously doubt it can be a viable option for too many non-Australians. Somebody like me (from Sydney) may go overseas a few years and come back to Gold Coast to settle down but maybe not too many from other countries. I am interested to see what happens a few years down the track. I bet you'll end up being a big corporate guy in Sydney. Mark my words!
This is a very interesting video....as someone who is "born and bred" here it is interesting you want ot have anything to do with us at all...but cleaerly you've identified a way to to expose us already
Whats the humidity like in dec-jan? Working hvac, so high heat and humidity is just death in full humidity. Im looking at moving here for at least 6 months from Vancouver Canada, to escape winter.Great informative video
Question,I am just curious , what happened to the nice. but feisty young lady you had featured in the video . How to live for $ 600a month? Now your on the god coast . To live the lifestyle you are doing now which appears to be much nicer, how much is it per month?
Chris the Freelancer Your temporary solution is pretty incredible, Chris! You’ve done so many amazing things already in your life, touched so many people, improving so many lives and you’re still a very young man! I know that you’ll thrive no matter where you live. Thank you for always responding to my communications with you.
The Gold Coast is not a cheap place to live :-( . The southern GC is much better than the northern GC for sure though. It will be even better down there once the tram extension is built to Burleigh Heads. For a day out you should check out Kings Beach just over into NSW ;-))))
Sure is. I've been here since 2008 on and off and have previously lived in Florida, Nevada and the UK. Australia in my opinion is more expensive day to day. House prices and rent here are high. Wages are high and you have penalty rates at the weekends here in Oz, but generally you have less left in your pocket each week (what I have found). For nomads on a tight budget I would seriously give it a pass. If on the other hand you earn decent coin in another currency ie. USD, then the conversion rate could make it worth while. :-)
Just one thing troubling me => maybe you have mentioned this and I missed it. Aren't most digital nomads (depending upon their origin) very restricted in how long they can remain in Australia? In any event, nice video. Thanx
Hmm, depends on who you talk to I guess. Mirko (in the video) seems to think it’s quite easy but he’s from Germany of course. One positive about Australia is that you can get a working holiday visa here and work legitimately for at least a few years. That option is not available in many other places around the world.
I'm from the UK and you can come here on a 3 month visa quite easily. If you're under 30 you can also get a working holiday visa for a year and it really was not hard to get.
Thank you, Chris, Loka, PapayaJoy for your responses. I have never heard about a "working holiday visa" before this. I would guess it is not available in most western countries. Cheers
@Keep Rocking! I am in a trade... but I work remotely (accounting)... going back to the 9-5 grind sounds painful. 😂 Marry an aussie? 😍 Sounds dreamy... all they need to do is talk to keep me happy! #bestaccent Lol. Thanks for your ideas!
Would love to see a breakdown of an average month of spending in the Gold Coast!
Noted!

Love it, when you want to take a break from nomadic life but miss the peeps, just convince the nomads to come to you! ;)
Enjoy the GC! ☀️
Pretty good assessment of the situation haha Thanks!
Great editing
Love the Gold Coast! Amazing video and cool dude

We loved the time we spent on the Gold Coast! Would be awesome to move there :D

been interested in this area for years, but this is the 1st time ever seen any vids onit. close surfing is keypoint
Love you guys !!!
This is an awesome video & love you have shared it with us.

I'm not a digital nomad, but I am really wanting to live there! Thanks for the video.
ruclips.net/video/AoX97LX2Snw/видео.html&ab_channel=MonikaNateras-KiwiTravel If you are thinking of moving to the Gold Coast, check this video.
Killer editing, you've definitely have come a long way. Good shit Chris!
Well... I was checking prices and it's not that expensive indeed. Would love to see a video with the cost of life there (house, gym, food etc).
It was really fun,we enjoyed it.!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing....
so good to see you being happy and doing what you want when you want , and back home is a bonus for sure.
I want to live here so bad... I'm living in Melbourne now, trying to convince my partner. It's weird I can actually breathe in Queensland. :(
Looks like a pretty darn good way of life to me.
Holly crap your story telling is crazy! Keep it up man. You put tons of effort into these videos!
Thanks bro. Takes one to know one ;)
It would be fun to see more videos from Australia!

Love your content Chris!
This put Gold Coast on my radar.
Cool I sent a request to join your group. Will be there next year.

Goldcoast is my favorite place!
I'm going to move there next year! hope I can meet you there by chance:)
Wow your shots, editing, and storyboard continue to get better!
Thanks guys!
Great vid bro. Thanks for the feature :)

haha I don't think so mate. I gave up corporate life a long time ago :)
Am i subscribed to the Ernie Dingo channel now.

You’re hanging out with the vegans! 😊 I’ve heard GC is a vegan central 👍🌱
Good. I want more videos! Digital nomads lifestyle! Se ya !
Jason is thirsty 8:45

Im looking at moving here for at least 6 months from Vancouver Canada, to escape winter.Great informative video
I dunno. I never looked into it.
Good vid. If I ever get back to Oz, will have to check out the east coast. Hope there will be some Barrier Reef still
Absolutely! You have to visit :)
Digital Nomad 2.0 in action !!
Question,I am just curious , what happened to the nice. but feisty young lady you had featured in the video . How to live for $ 600a month? Now your on the god coast . To live the lifestyle you are doing now which appears to be much nicer, how much is it per month?
Your new home is incredible!
Thanks! Actually planning on moving back to Brisbane this year but this does alright as a temporary solution ;)
Chris the Freelancer Your temporary solution is pretty incredible, Chris! You’ve done so many amazing things already in your life, touched so many people, improving so many lives and you’re still a very young man! I know that you’ll thrive no matter where you live. Thank you for always responding to my communications with you.
Chris the Freelancer Have you thought of reviving the Nomad Fit channel?
Hey Cris, in your opinion Gold Coast and Brisbane which one is better for family has one child to stay for ~6months?
Both are great for families.
The Gold Coast is not a cheap place to live :-( . The southern GC is much better than the northern GC for sure though. It will be even better down there once the tram extension is built to Burleigh Heads. For a day out you should check out Kings Beach just over into NSW ;-))))
Depends on what you compare it too. Cheap is subjective ;)
Sure is. I've been here since 2008 on and off and have previously lived in Florida, Nevada and the UK. Australia in my opinion is more expensive day to day. House prices and rent here are high. Wages are high and you have penalty rates at the weekends here in Oz, but generally you have less left in your pocket each week (what I have found). For nomads on a tight budget I would seriously give it a pass. If on the other hand you earn decent coin in another currency ie. USD, then the conversion rate could make it worth while. :-)
From London, its cheap

@@ChristheFreelancer it's tricky if you aren't under 30.

I couldn't believe how over priced the GC has gotten and the beaches are to crowded. You have to wait for ages for a ride at the theme parks.
😍
Can you do a video about the sunshine coast?
Where are you Chris? o.O
Why you stopped making videos? Everything is fine with you?
Hey mate. Yeah, I'm ok. I've published three videos since this one on a separate channel if you're interested to watch
ruclips.net/user/chrisrdodd
Do you ask people if it's ok to film them? I always feel weird about shooting strangers in public
Depends. If it's clear that you're filming them then it's probably best to ask haha
nice video!!! 😉
Hey Chris, did u retire from your career as a nomad? No more vids?
Kinda. I've travelled back to Bali twice after this video but the videos are on my other channel if you wanna watch:
ruclips.net/user/chrisrdodd
when is the next video
Gold coast is the toilet bowl of Australia
Who is the gorgeous girl on the thumbnail?
instagram.com/brooklynkellyy/
What is your field of work now that your back home?
I do mainly web development and video
Chris the Freelancer do you ever plan on living the digital nomad lifestyle again?
Sorry Gold Coast is really expensive to live. Adelaide is much cheaper to live.
Hmm, not sure about that.
Pizza Boxes Plus Adelaide hahahahaha
reminds me sodosopa ads from south park
Cost of living?
Similar to Brisbane. ruclips.net/video/4pgfSV0MZNg/видео.html
So about $1500 - $2000 USD per month?
Thats my home town
💪
Phim Vn con gai chi hang
this video is actually about nothing ohhh boring...
It's about the Gold Coast as a possible destination for digital nomads
So cringey.
How so?
