curious what does and doesn't constitute "nomad". e.g. I was based in Thailand and traveled around a lot for 2 years, which probably constitutes "nomad".

but then I moved to Spain and have been there pretty steady for 2 years. I fit a lot of "nomad" traits, except for the key definition: I haven't moved around.

There's a blurry line between "expat" and "nomad".

There has been interview with one of the owner of coworking space in Bali and he mentioned most of the people living digital nomad lifestyle for few years (2-4). Looking at my friends I would agree and either they moved back home after ~2 years or settled somewhere abroad (turned expat).
What visa did you use in Thailand and/or Spain (assuming you don't have freedom of movement through your citizenship)
In this case it appears to constitute "using nomadlist".
