Hi All,

With summer just around the corner, our latest iOS release makes it easier to coordinate & share plans with friends both in the app and on social. Plus:

But first, a small favor:  

If you have feedback on how we can improve, please reply to me directly.

Our latest update lets you quickly share your trip plans, or entire schedule from the app. It’s a great way to highlight where you’re planning to go to your friends who aren’t on Pangea (yet).

It's amazing to watch the serendipity happen beyond the app, and its a great way to get your non-Pangea friends to join you here! 

Every time I share my plans, I always get great recs, suggests & connections from my network to new friends. 

Take a look below 👇

PS: If you're a designer, and have an idea of a particular aesthetic you'd like to see in these infographics LMK! We'll be adding more themes this summer and would love to incorporate your ideas.

The earlier you share where you’re thinking of going, the more likely friends will be able to join. Add the places you’re thinking of going this year to the app with Trip Ideas 💡🌎

Things like: I want to go to:

Don’t wait until everything is booked & non-cancelable to share your plans... the earlier you share, the more likely you'll find awesome people to join you - or will be inspired to adjust your plans to match theirs!

Pangea Community in Antarctica - December 2024

We’ve secured a great group deal for Antarctica with the same provider we used last year.  80 people are interested in joining already, and we'll be launching date polls this week to solidify when we're going. Be sure to follow along in the chat as spots at the discounted group rate will be very limited.

Take a look below at the Summer Schedule to see where our community is headed, and how you can join in on some awesome programs across the Digital Nomad ecosystem! You can also join our WhatsApp Community to connect with Digital Nomads around the world. 

I’m joining the “Orphaned” Shirazi Journey in Lisbon this month. They were supposed to kickoff their 12-month trip in January and have been going strong with a group 25+ despite the Remote Year Shutdown. We’re excited to connect our community & theirs with several Nomad Events planned in Lisbon which you can join via WhatsApp. Several of our members will be staying at Outsite for anyone interested in joining us!

I'm (finally) joining my first WiFi Tribe Chapter in Tbilisi next month after being a member for 3 years. I'm impressed with how active the community is and am excited to share my experience after I join a full chapter. If you're planning on being in Tbilisi in June, you can connect with us here.

I met Diego, the Wi-Fi Tribe Co-Founder in Cape Town last month and we chatted a lot about the future of the Digital Nomad space. 

Given how many of our members were impacted by Remote Year's shutdown and the large backlog of applications they're receiving now, we arranged for Pangea Users to get expedited interviews if they decide to apply. 

Just select Pangea in the application form and they'll prioritize your application!

I’m excited to join several of our ambassadors at Bansko (June 22-29th) this year.  I’ve heard amazing things and can’t wait to try it for myself. You can use Pangea25 for $25 off your ticket (case sensitive). Join our community chat here if you're planning on attending. 

I'm super pumped to get back to London after more than a year since my last visit to connect with many old colleagues & friends from when I lived there. Plus, a ton of the OG Pangea (Baker) squad will be there, and we’ll be planning lots of Nomad events throughout the month.  

Nomad Nest has programs running across the world this summer, including a special edition in Porto that several of our community are eyeing.  Be sure to snag your spot before it's too late 👀

I met up with NomadNest Co-Founder, Walid, on the trip that he lead through Egypt last month, and am excited to cheer them on as they ramp up more programs in partnership with the amazing former RY city leaders.

If you're going anywhere they offer a program, be sure to join, especially as they are getting off the ground. We'll be giving $100 AirBnB gift cards to the first 3 Pangea Users who signup using our link 🙌

Sean & I are organizing an epic nomad journey through South East Asia late July – early September.  Vietnam, Bali, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar are all possibilities, and a dozen of our community are already planning to join. Follow along as we plan if you're interested in joining us!  

We’ve partnered with Digital Nomad Adventures in Koh Phangan. Their Beach Meets 5-day conference is a blend of workshops, wellness, and networking — with the next one happening August 19th!

Use code DNAXPANGEA for 10% off the conference, their epic Thailand Adventure Retreats, and their coliving experience - an unforgettable way to explore the country while leveling up your life and business alongside other digital nomads and entrepreneurs.

🌍 Outsite: Outsite remains one of my favorite brands for nomads, offering beautiful spaces, strong community vibes, and the flexibility to stay as long (or as short) as you want. We're offering $50 off your first stay for new members (just follow the link & use PANGEA50 at checkout).👀 Nomad Nest: Created by RY alumni, Nomad Nest brings back the magic of working & exploring new cities together.  Many of the City Leaders you already know and love including Omar, Thiago, Natalie, and Cata are now part of Nomad Nest, continuing to do what they do best in their home cities.  They're the only program with local leaders on the ground in every city they operate, providing an elevated level of service. We're offering $100 AirBnB gift cards to the first 3 Pangea Users who join a program using our link here.🌴 Noma Collective: A major player in the group travel space, and recently acquiring Hacker Paradise, Noma Collective offers awesome 2-4 week trips for remote workers, building a community of like-minded professionals. Check out their trips here.

If you manage a Digital Nomad event, community, retreat, co-living, or anything else that you think would be relevant to our audience of 20K+ Nomads, just reply to me directly. We only feature programs that we plan to attend, have tried personally, or have heard amazing things about from our most active members - but are always on the lookout to support awesome projects trying to reach this community 💪🚀 

This month's release was focused on improving the core of Pangea - making it easier to add, edit & share trips. You'll notice tons of small improvements throughout the iOS App, and would love to hear what you think. We haven't forgotten about Android either, and expect to provide a major update next month (you can always switch to iPhone in the meantime 😂)Hope to see many of you around the world this summer 🌍

Cheers,

-Matt

P.S. Everyone knows I’m obsessed with Cape Town, so much so that I may actually put down some roots there in November.  We’ve got A LOT in the works for next season already, so if you’re considering joining be sure you’re in our chat to stay in the loop. 

Final glimpses of the April community in Cape Town 🇿🇦
