The NOMADX Story
Tags: Digital Nomads, Travel, Nomadx, Nomad, Portugal

NOMADX is seeking to revolutionise the way location independent professionals, or “Digital Nomads” live, work and travel the world.

NOMADX was born March 25, 2017 after 20+ years of digital entrepreneurship and five straight years of global travel experiences to over 50 countries. The founders saw a need to help others easily and affordably experience the slow travel Digital Nomad lifestyle whether for a month or a lifetime in amazing locations throughout the world, with our start in Portugal!

So what’s NOMADX?

NOMADX Slow Travel Pads™ and Community for Digital Nomads offers one to six plus month rentals direct from friendly hosts in cool local Portuguese neighborhoods. We help you stay on budget with a private room, apartment or shared coliving space ranging from €250 to €850+ per month. And, we offer access to our local digital community as a bonus. If you’re a Digital Nomad or a Host, please give us a try @ https://www.nomadx.com/

It’s our company’s mission as a Public Benefit Corporation to promote friendliness, cultural understanding and social interaction between Digital Nomads and the local communities in which they live and work. We realize that it’s important to give back and we’ve made that part of our company’s mission!

NOMADX makes it easy and affordable to live the Digital Nomad lifestyle, explore new cultures, and meet people from around the world while maintaining a healthy career. We provide the infrastructure necessary for getting you away from your home office or crowded co-working space and into a perspective-shifting setting, for as little as a month, and at local prices that are much more affordable than AirBNB’s short term rates.



Professionals who choose the NomadX lifestyle have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zones, living like locals as they achieve personal and business breakthroughs in picturesque settings around the world.

Dave and Jen Williams founded NomadX in March 2017 to help global workers experience a new way to travel, live and work throughout the world. They saw a need that wasn’t being met by current industry providers so they founded NomadX!

We hope you enjoy what we have created!

DAVE WILLIAMS, Chairman, CEO and Co-founder

Dave Williams is a pioneer in the digital marketing, advertising and ad tech industries as a serial digital entrepreneur over the past 20+ years with multiple exits in in the early formative stages of the search engine marketing, social media and ad tech industries. He and his wife Jen, the company’s Chief Fun Officer, and their dog, Manu, now reside in Lisbon, Portugal and the Northern Algarve after moving from the United States in 2017 after visiting over 50 countries on their global travels.

They decided to move after discovering the country while hiking the Camino Portugues from Caminha in the far north of Portugal to Porto and then through the southern coast on the Rota Vicentina’s Fisherman Trails. They immediately fell in love with the small coastal towns, rich culture, friendly people, culinary delights and the revived entrepreneurial spirit of the country. It was this inspiration that led them to starting NomadX as a way to share their passion for travel, adventure and living a location independent lifestyle.

Prior to starting NomadX, Dave and Jen spent the previous five years traveling the world where they saw an opportunity to improve upon the ease of finding affordable midterm housing and immediate connection to the local community for slow traveling freelancers, location independent entrepreneurs and remote employees. They’re driven by a passion for helping entrepreneurs, startups and corporate employees experience and incorporate the NomadX way of life into a futuristic global lifestyle.
