# Nostos

> Nostos ranks over 300 digital-nomad cities on cost of living, safety, healthcare, internet speed, visa ease, getting around, climate, air quality and quality of life. Users set their own weights; every number cites an open-data source and is published as a CC BY 4.0 dataset.

Dataset 2026.09.4, published 2026-09-26. Every page in this list has a markdown twin: append `.md` to the URL or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`. The full site is in https://nostos.navoy.io/llms-full.txt.

## Tool

- [Ranker](https://nostos.navoy.io/): weights and filters live in the query string, e.g. `?w=10-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5&budget=2000&region=europe&visa=1` (weights 0–10 in the order cost, safety, healthcare, internet, visa, mobility, climate, air, quality of life). Add `&passport=DE` (ISO alpha-2) to score visa ease for a passport; `/visa/DE` returns that passport's entry rules as JSON.
- [Methodology](https://nostos.navoy.io/methodology): formulas, thresholds and caveats.
