Choosing a nomad base for your company is an execution decision first. Lifestyle matters, but it belongs in the second round. The costly mistakes usually show up after the city-ranking stage, when a place that looks great online turns into a slow or expensive setup once you start invoicing, signing contracts, and working against real deadlines.
