Tips for Digital Nomads in Singapore
Test WiFi Before Committing
Use Speedtest.net at your accommodation before booking a long stay. Cafes in Singapore vary widely in connection quality.
Try a Day Pass First
Most coworking spaces offer day passes. Test a few before committing to a monthly membership.
Cafe Etiquette
Buy something every 1 to 2 hours if working from a cafe. Lunch hours are usually not the best time to camp with a laptop.
Pack a Power Strip
Outlets can be scarce in cafes. A small travel power strip lets you share one socket between your laptop and phone.
