The digital nomad lifestyle is becoming increasingly prevalent, as technology enables people to work remotely and lead more independent lives, which is where this home searches platform comes in. Currently in beta, Belooga is a new rental housing venture based in Portugal and co-founded by Andrea Rocca and Rosanna Lopes.
With an aim of making home searches for digital nomads easy, the startup delivers "the best laptop-friendly homes" straight into your inbox. Recently added housing includes residences in exotic locations such as Chiang Mai, Buenos Aires and Cape Town. So far 44 different cities have been added by Belooga spotters, making the platform ideal for those with a serious case of wanderlust and very flexible jobs.
