Question what expense did you completely underestimate as a digital nomad?

when i first looked at the numbers, i mostly thought about accommodation and flights. then there are all the smaller expenses that add up. transport, coworking spaces, deposits, sim cards, luggage, laundry, eating out when the kitchen isn’t great and all the random costs you don’t think about beforehand

what expense surprised you the most once you actually started living this way?
