Your Nomad Directory
This page is built to be the place you come back to every time you’re planning a trip, comparing stays, or trying to make the lifestyle feel more financially realistic.
It’s simple on purpose: the links we use, the categories you actually need, and the system assets if you want the full framework.
Quick note: Some links on this page are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Get Paid To Roam
A practical start that helps you get your link hub live, plan your trip on budget, and start monetizing your planning and travel decisions in a way that feels doable.
The Visibility Engine
Brand and social setup, plus a sustainable content rhythm so this does not become your entire life. Built for on camera or off camera.
The Nomad Media Flywheel
Speed, leverage, and individuality. This is where you stop copying anyone else and start building your own lane, plus a stronger approach to discounted or comped stays.
Building Your Digital Foundation
This is the foundation we use to keep everything in one place so the setup is easy to maintain.
GoHighLevel
GoHighLevel is the “home base” we use to keep the Get Paid To Roam system simple. It lets you build a clean link hub, host your key pages, organize your travel offers and resources in one place, and manage your social media accounts so your setup stays maintainable as you move.
SendGrid
SendGrid is the email delivery engine that plugs directly into GoHighLevel. Once it’s connected, GoHighLevel can automatically trigger emails and notifications based on what someone does, like opting in, requesting a resource, or buying a download. It’s what makes your system feel alive instead of manual.
Content Creation Tools
If you want to monetize travel decisions over time, this is the small set of tools that makes publishing easier, especially for travel clips and voiceovers.
Captions
Captions is an AI-powered editor for turning raw clips into finished short-form posts fast. It can generate subtitles, style your on-screen text, and even create AI voiceovers so you can publish without always recording audio. It’s a strong option when you want consistent output with minimal editing time.
CapCut
CapCut is a straightforward video editor that makes travel content easy to batch. Use it to trim clips, add transitions, layer text, and build a repeatable template so your videos keep a consistent look. It’s great when you want control over edits without a complicated workflow.
Canva
Canva is the quickest way to create clean, branded visuals on the go. It’s perfect for quote posts, travel tips, checklists, thumbnails, and simple guides, plus you can reuse templates so your content stays consistent. If you want your pages and posts to look polished without hiring a designer, this is the tool.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT helps you turn travel decisions into content people actually engage with. Use it to generate hooks, captions, voiceover scripts, post ideas, and repurposing plans so one trip becomes dozens of pieces of content. It’s also great for keeping your tone consistent and making publishing feel easier.
Finding Your Next Stay
These are the platforms we use to find, compare, and book stays. If you’re overwhelmed, start here.
Expedia
Solid for comparing hotels and packages, especially when you want to bundle travel pieces or keep everything in one checkout. Useful when you are planning ahead and want options at multiple price points.
Vrbo
Best when you want a full home style stay, like houses, condos, and longer-term rentals. Great for slower travel, groups, or anyone who wants more space and a kitchen.
Cruise Direct
Cruise Direct is our go to when we want to compare cruises fast without bouncing between a bunch of cruise line sites. It is great for checking dates, ports, ship options, and total pricing side by side so you can spot the best value for your timeline. Super useful when you are planning a bigger reset week, a celebration trip, or just want a floating hotel that moves you to the next destination.
Stay Secure and Connected
Nord VPN
NordVPN helps keep your connection private when you’re on the road, especially on hotel, airport, café, or other public Wi-Fi networks. It encrypts your traffic, can reduce risk from sketchy networks, and makes it easier to access your accounts safely while traveling. It’s a simple “set it and forget it” layer of protection.
Saily eSIM
Saily is an eSIM option that helps you get mobile data quickly without hunting for a local SIM card. You can activate data plans digitally, stay connected in more places, and keep your travel workflow moving for maps, bookings, messaging, and work. It’s especially useful as a backup when Wi-Fi is unreliable.
US Global Mail
US Global Mail gives you a real U.S. mailing address and a digital mailbox you can manage from anywhere. They scan your mail so you can view it online, then you can request forwarding only when you actually need something in hand. It keeps banking, tax forms, and subscriptions flowing smoothly even when you are never in one place.
Saving Money and Finding Unique Attractions
Tiqets
Tiqets is our go to for last minute tickets and skip the line entry when we want to explore without overplanning. It is great for museums, landmarks, tours, and local experiences, and you can usually keep everything on your phone for easy check in. Perfect for filling a free afternoon, building a quick date day, or making the most of a short stop in a new city.
Need To Get Around Overseas?
Bookaway
Useful for booking transportation that is not always easy to find on big flight sites, like buses, ferries, trains, and transfers in many destinations. Great when you are piecing together multi-city travel and want everything in one place.
FerryScanner
FerryScanner is our shortcut for island hopping and coastal routes when flying is a hassle. It lets you compare ferry schedules, routes, and operators in one place so you can quickly lock in the best departure time and price. Perfect for places where ferries are the real transportation system, like Greece, Italy, Croatia, and beyond.
