Resources

The tools and services we actually used building in Cape Verde. We only list things we've used ourselves — if it isn't here, we haven't tried it.

Moving money abroad

We moved our build money with Wise. We switched to it during the build after learning the hard way what ordinary bank transfers cost on international payments — holding sterling, converting to euros at a rate we set, and sending on to a Cape Verdean account.

How that actually works — including why you cannot send Cape Verdean escudos, and where the charges really sit.
