I did noma's lima edition in march 2025 and the buenos aires edition in april 2024. both were excellent! and exceeded expectations. what noma has cracked the code on is (1) freeing you to do your work without interruption while also then (2) giving you a way to do the best things in town/region *with awesome people.* i'd put my head down to work, knowing that every other day/night i'd be seeing people, having fun, and going to a great restaurant, bar, dancing, tour, cultural experience, etc. from what i've heard of other digital nomad approaches, i would worry about being alone for too long. with noma, you can be alone as much as you like but you have a built-in friend group to do fun stuff with. the local experience is greatly enhanced by the local community managers they hire. both ones on my trips (vani in ba and angel in lima) were kinda the greatest -- very different from each other but both cared a lot about the experience and were proud of their home cities and countries. i don't see how i can not do this at least once a year.
