How far in advance should I book a trip?

Booking and Payments

How do I book a trip?

Visit our "Find a Trip" page, select your preferred destination, and reserve your spot online.

When is the deadline to book a trip?

All trips must be booked at least 30 days before the program start date. This allows us enough time to finalize logistics, confirm accommodations, and prepare everything for your arrival. If you're interested in a trip that's less than 30 days away, feel free to reach out—if there's space and we can make it work, we’ll try our best!

Is there an early bird discount?

Yes, all trips offer a 10% early bird discount for the first 6 sign-ups.

Can I cancel, reschedule, or get a refund for my trip?

We offer a 24-hour no-risk refund—if you cancel within 24 hours of booking, you’ll receive a full refund, no questions asked.

After 24 hours, all payments are non-refundable, but:

  • If you cancel 90+ days before your trip start date, you can choose between:
    • A future trip credit (valid for 365 days), OR
    • A partial refund (minus a 20% cancellation fee and a $100 processing fee).
  • If you cancel within 90 days of the trip start date, your payment is non-refundable and non-transferable.

To cancel, contact us via our website or email booking@nomadnest.com.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards and online payment platforms.

Can I reserve my spot with a deposit instead of full payment?

Yes! For trips starting more than 90 days from today, you can now reserve your spot by paying a 25% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due 90 days before your trip.

I paid a deposit, when is the final payment due?

If you book with a deposit, your remaining balance is due 90 days before your trip starts. We’ll send you reminder email on your due date. If your final payment isn’t received by the 90-day deadline, your spot may be released and your deposit forfeited. Make sure to pay on time to secure your place.

Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?

No, there are no hidden fees. The trip price includes accommodations, workspace access, arrival airport pickup, community events, and local support. Optional add-ons like weekend adventures, private accommodations, and extra services are available at an additional cost, but these are always clearly outlined upfront. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book.

What support is available to me before I book a trip?

Our team is available to answer any questions, help you choose the right destination, and provide all the details you need to make an informed decision.

What happens if a trip doesn’t reach the minimum number of participants?

Will I have my own room?

All participants will have their own bedroom. If you select shared accommodations, you’ll have a private bedroom within a two-bedroom apartment, sharing common spaces with one other participant. If you prefer complete privacy, you can upgrade to a private studio or one-bedroom apartment at an additional cost.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes, all participants must provide proof of travel insurance at least 30 days before the trip. The insurance should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and travel-related disruptions. You can upload your proof of insurance on your account at: dashboard.nomadnest.com

To ensure proper accommodations and discounted pricing, couples must follow this process:

  • Step 4: The second participant must complete their booking using their own Nomad Nest account and the custom link provided.
  • Step 5: The second participant’s booking will automatically include a 30% discount off the total trip price.

Do both participants need their own Nomad Nest account?

Can couples book shared accommodations?

Can couples book at different times?

No. The second participant must book within a reasonable timeframe after the first participant to ensure availability. Both participants must book before the trip sells out.

During the Trip

What is the group size?

Group sizes are typically limited to 6-16 participants to ensure a more personalized and connected experience.

What kind of community events are included?

Each program includes weekly social events, a welcome social gathering, and a farewell event. Additional local experiences are also curated by the City Leader.

Guests are welcome to join optional activities but must arrange their own accommodations and workspace access. If they will be joining for the entire month, then they should secure their own booking.

Will I have reliable Wi-Fi?

Yes, we prioritize accommodations and coworking spaces with fast, reliable internet suitable for remote work.

Who are the City Leaders, and what kind of support do they provide?

City Leaders are your on-the-ground support, helping with recommendations, answering questions, and organizing events to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable stay. They’re there to assist with general guidance, local tips, and any issues related to accommodations or coworking spaces during reasonable hours. However, City Leaders are not hotel concierges and should not be contacted for non-urgent matters late at night. For emergencies—such as a major accommodation issue (e.g., no electricity or water) or a safety concern—you can reach out at any time.

What’s a typical daily schedule like?

There’s no rigid itinerary, as our trips are designed to be flexible. You’ll have time to work, explore, and join optional activities. Community events are scheduled in the evenings or on weekends.

Do I have to participate in all activities?

Not at all! Our trips offer a mix of structured events and free time. You can join as much or as little as you’d like.

Is there a time zone consideration for coworking?

We ensure coworking spaces have reliable internet and a productive work environment, but it’s up to you to adjust to your home office time zone if needed. Most of the coworking spaces we offer allow for 24/7 access.

Are coworking spaces 24/7 accessible?

Coworking space access varies by destination. While most of our coworking spaces offer 24/7 access, some may have set operating hours.

Before your trip, you’ll receive details on your specific coworking space, including:

  • Access hours (whether 24/7 or limited to specific times)
  • Amenities available (private call booths, meeting rooms, kitchen access, etc.)
  • Security and entry policies

If 24/7 access is essential for you, feel free to reach out before booking to confirm availability in your chosen destination.

Are there any community guidelines or behavioral expectations?

Yes! At Nomad Nest, we strive to create a welcoming and respectful environment for all participants. We expect everyone to follow our Community Guidelines, which include:

  • Treating fellow participants, City Leaders, and locals with respect and kindness.
  • Being considerate of shared spaces in accommodations and coworking areas.
  • Following local laws and cultural norms in each destination.
  • Engaging in a positive and inclusive manner—discrimination, harassment, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Respecting program schedules and group activities to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in removal from the program without a refund. By booking a trip with Nomad Nest, you agree to uphold these standards and contribute to a great community experience.
