Figured some of you guys might be interested in this. If you're like me and don't want to add bulk to your wallet with an airtag holder:
Tracking Card - Find My (nomadgoods.com)
Seems pretty thin, I think my favorite part is that I can charge it using a Qi wireless charger. I ordered one to try it out.

The announced on the livestream that they will be launching a Find My card when the Passport Wallet launches on the website. It's partially white label (i.e. that another company originally designed it), but that there will be some PD touches involved.
Just received my new Nomad Card Wallet Plus & Tracking card, been using a Ridge Wallet for just over a year and decided I wanted to get back into the Leather Wallet game. The Ridge is nice but has its flaws and for some reason my cards have started to fall apart in it.
Didn’t do much research but love Nomad Goods and currently using their Magnetic Leather back on my 15PM.
I’ve been using the rolling square one but sometimes it won’t beep if I’m in a different room than it(not reachable) even if I can see its live location. It’s also relatively thicker than a normal credit card
Does anyone have experience with other brands? I value loudness/ability to ping the card while I’m not in the same room over the thinness
Recently got a wallet tracker and it was great until I noticed that since I put my wallet in my back pocket, it constantly beeps! The pairing button is being pressed by my behind when I sit down anywhere.
So my question is is there a good wallet tracker card for iPhone / iOS that maybe has a toggle and not a pressable button that won’t get pressed when I sit?!
Hi r/digitalnomad!
I'm a new nomad and I love the experience of working and staying on the road a lot. Keeps me motivated and the location changes are a nice benefit for me personally.
However, as I'm a quite organised and analytical person I'm trying to stay on top of my expense and I'm tracking everything I spend. I'm currently doing it manually using a Google Sheet. There, I add my daily expenses and create SUMs and AVGs as I'm interested in how much my nomad lifestyle actually costs.
Do you have any recommendations or tips or systems you are using to track your expenses? How do you deal with all the currency conversion rates? Any particular app you love? I tried a few, for example TravelSpend but in the end I always shifted back to a simple Google Sheet as it's the most flexible solution for me.
Happy for any tips or recommendations
