As a nomad, there are certain things to look for when it comes to finding the perfect digital nomad city to “settle” for a while. One is good wifi, another one is a great digital nomad community, and you of course also want a place that’s safe.

Other things you probably want are fun activities, a cheap cost of living, and a location where you can, for the most part at least, get around by speaking English. So which digital nomad cities fit into those categories?

We’ve gathered 19 different digital nomad cities around the world that we think are worth checking out.

Here are 19 amazing cities for digital nomads around the world

There are plenty of great digital nomad cities around the world. As the years go by and more and more people start working remotely the demand for these types of “digital nomad cities” around the world is continuously growing.

You can already see places like Bansko in Bulgaria becoming a HUGE digital nomad hub with coworking spaces all over the town. Over time, more and more places like this will pop up and there are already some beautiful cities making great strides in becoming digital nomad hotspots!

Below you can find 19 cities for digital nomads that we think are worth checking out. Each section has been written by ourselves and other talented digital nomads around the world. Each of these nomads has spent a significant amount of time in the specific location they wrote about and now they’re sharing their expertise with all of us!

#1 – Bansko, Bulgaria

By Kelsey from Sights Better Seen

Bankso Bulgaria

I hadn’t heard of Bansko until recently. I’d seen people post about it in various digital nomad Facebook groups, and it seemed to check all my boxes: small and pretty town, cobblestone streets, a strong digital nomad community thanks to Coworking Bansko, mountains and lots of nature nearby, vegetarian-friendly, good local food, a weekly farmer’s market, and very affordable.

I had no idea what to expect, but I loved it so much! I’m actually already planning to come back in the summer or fall. I even spent part of the holiday season here with about 20 other nomads. We had a fancy raclette dinner and played White Elephant on Christmas Eve, and then most people went skiing on Christmas Day.

There are events at the coworking space almost every single day. Between the weekly game nights, hot springs visits, group dinners, movie nights, and various other gatherings it’s pretty hard to get bored! In the winter, people come for skiing and snowboarding (I’m learning to snowboard now!), and in the summer people love to go hiking and mountain biking.

It’s amazing for networking, too. I landed a freelance writing job from someone I met here. Other people have helped me with SEO for my website, improved my mission statement, and taken photos for my blog.

So if you’re looking for some travel job ideas and how you can work and travel then you will make some amazing connections here.

I also have to talk about the food for a second – I love it! I really didn’t know what it would be like, but I’m already pretty obsessed with several dishes. As a vegetarian, it means I eat a lot of cheese, but Bulgarian cheese is AMAZING so I can’t complain.

I’m almost at the end of my 90 days (as an American, that’s the amount of time I can stay without a visa) and it will be tough to adjust to my next destination after being somewhere with such a strong community. But at least I know I’ll be back!

#2 – Tbilisi, Georgia

By Maggie from The World Was Here First

Tbilisi, Georgia.

If you’re looking for the perfect, up-and-coming digital nomad destination, then it’s hard to go wrong with the capital of the Republic of Georgia, Tbilisi. Boasting an incredibly affordable cost of living, friendly people, a great culinary scene, a solid network of other remote workers, fast and reliable wifi and one of the most liberal visa policies in Europe, Tbilisi really checks all the boxes to become the next digital nomad hotspot!

One of the most attractive aspects of heading to Tbilisi is their visa policy – countless nationalities (including Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, and EU citizens) can enter Tbilisi visa free for a whopping 360 days!

This means that you don’t need to worry about overstaying. However, if you want to find somewhere to post up short-term, there are numerous great places to stay in Tbilisi. If you’re looking for an affordable Airbnb, a hostel dorm bed or a chic hotel.

Wifi speeds in Tbilisi are also lightning fast! There is free wifi available in most cafes and restaurants throughout the city and very affordable data plans available, as well. As it is an up-and-coming digital nomad city, there is also a friendly and welcoming community of nomads in Tbilisi and there are frequent events in place where you can meet other like-minded people.

If you decide to stay longer in Tbilisi, finding longer-term accommodation is very easy. The cost of living is also quite affordable, especially when compared to everywhere else in Europe. Plus there are also countless budget flights in and out of Georgia. So flying to elsewhere in Europe and beyond is quite easy and cheap. It definitely makes Tbilisi an excellent base to travel from.

All in all, if you’re looking for the perfect place to base yourself as a digital nomad then check out Tbilisi.

#3 – Cali, Columbia

By Mitch from Project Untethered

Night Club in Cali, Columbia.

When most people think of finding a digital nomad base in Colombia, they automatically default to Medellin. I get it. Medellin is a great city. But for me, Cali is where it’s at.

I’ve been working remotely from Cali for over three years now. I love it just as much today as I did when I first arrived. It’s cheap, has delicious food, great internet, is still somewhat “undiscovered”, and best of all… It’s the salsa dancing capital of the world.

If you like to dance (and if you come to Cali, you’ll LEARN to like to dance), it is impossible to get bored here. Get your work done during the day, take a salsa class in the afternoon, and go dancing at a different salsa club every night.

Not only is it an addicting routine and a great way to exercise, but it’s also one of the best ways to make local friends and immerse yourself in the culture (I actually met my wife in salsa class!).

Apart from salsa, there are plenty of other fun activities in Cali to keep you busy—from hiking to learning Spanish to awesome days trips. When you put everything together, you end up with a truly amazing (and underrated) digital nomad city.

#4 – Prague, Czech Republic

By Dom & Jo from Red White Adventures

Prague Czech Republic.

One of our personal favourite cities for living as a digital nomad is Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The cost of living is fairly cheap – especially if you share a place. Prague has really great wifi, lots of cute cafes in Prague where you can sit and work (and drink delicious latte for like 3 bucks), and best of all, Prague has a great expat community!

We actually loved Prague so much that we have lived here not once but twice(!).

There are quite a few coworking spaces in Prague where you can get monthly memberships (or just pay hourly if you need to get out of the house). Using coworking spaces is a nice way to be in the right working environment and there are so many benefits to working at coworking spaces!

Apart from giving you the opportunity to live your best life locally, Prague also has a great advantage when it comes to travelling. The airport is only about half an hour away from the city centre. You can take public transport to get there and it’s really cheap (less than $2).

Prague is located right in the centre of Europe and the airport is pretty big, so you can get to so many places in no time, and for almost no money thanks to budget airlines. There are also a bunch of big bus stations where you can take Flixbus to destinations like Berlin, Budapest, and Vienna in 4-8 hours. 

Lastly, we want to mention that Prague is a very safe capital city. Different websites tell us different things but we found a few that said Prague was amongst the 10 safest capitals in all of Europe. During the almost 2 years we spent in Prague, we have never felt unsafe.

#5 – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

By Samantha Karen from Sam Sees World

The streets of Amsterdam also known as one of the best digital nomad cities in Europe.

One of the best cities in the world for digital nomads is Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. This is a city with beyond picturesque canals, quirky houses, grand parks, and a friendly atmosphere. Moreover, Amsterdam is very centrally located and is home to one of the largest airports in Europe! This makes arriving and leaving a breeze.

There are two main things that make Amsterdam a great city for digital nomads:
Firstly, Amsterdam is bursting with cool cafes that are laptop friendly and welcoming to digital nomads. In every area of the city, you can find a welcoming cafe and various other people sitting inside and working away.

Secondly, Amsterdam attracts a ton of digital nomads from all around the world. Finding other people like you in cafes and out and about is a common occurrence. So, if you are wondering if you will be the only one pulling out your laptop at a cafe or in a coworking space then don’t worry, lots of people are. It’s also easier to make friends this way too!

When work time is over the excitement only starts in Amsterdam. The city always has something cool and fun to do so finding a work-life balance is more than achievable. Festivals and events are weekly occurrences in Amsterdam and you are more than welcome to join.

One additional great thing about Amsterdam is that there is no language barrier. English is spoken by virtually everyone in Amsterdam and most digital nomads you will meet will be English natives.

#6 – Chiang Mai, Thailand

By Melissa from Nomad Life 101

Chang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai wasn’t on my list for a while since it’s away from the ocean and beaches but that quickly changed. My partner and I finally decided to try it in 2019. We stayed in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a total of three months. At first, we struggled to find friends. We were not sure if we would like it or not, but after a few weeks, we started to love Chiang Mai.

We found our favorite restaurants (there are so many options when it comes to food in Chiang Mai), a coworking space where we could be super productive. On top of that a nice group of friends with a similar mindset.

We had a comfortable, spacious and modern apartment which was great since we struggled to find spacious accommodation in other cities. Since we like to stay fit abroad, we easily found a gym – although, most condominiums also have a gym on-site. We became members at Punspace, which is the most popular coworking place in Chiang Mai. On the weekends, we were able to plan trips to Pai or Chiang Rai.

Overall, Chiang Mai became our favorite digital nomad cities in Thailand. We connected with fellow nomads who are focused and productive. We managed to get a healthy lifestyle there and we were living in a comfortable way which makes a big difference to increase productivity.

The only inconvenience is that the seasons aren’t always ideal. For example, the burning season and the rainy season are quite long. That said, from October to December, the weather is great. So maybe plan your trip around those months. You’ll have a great time in this wonderful digital nomad city.

#7 – Antigua, Guatemala

By Sean Lau from Living Out Lau

A band playing music in the streets of Antigua.

Antigua in Guatemala is one of the best places for digital nomads and it is easy to see why.

A small city of cobbled-stone streets lined with colonial houses. Antigua was once the capital of Guatemala and a present-day UNESCO Heritage Site. Had it not been for the devastating 1773 Guatemala earthquake, Antigua would still be Guatemala’s capital.

The small walkable city is known for its perfect blend between authentic Guatemalan culture and tourist-friendly features. Unlike other digital nomad destinations such as Bali, Antigua is not overrun by foreigners yet.

You will find various activities to do in Antigua Guatemala. My favorite of which is hiking Volcano Acatenango and seeing the nearby Volcano Fuego erupt with my own eyes. If the two days 1-night hike is too much for you and you just watch to relax, head over to the stunning Lake Atitlan for a weekend. It is the perfect place to soak up some heart-warming Guatemala sun.

Being a digital nomad is not an easy task, especially if you are away from home for a long time. I tend to miss the various cuisines my hometown can offer when I am traveling. Antigua is one of the few cities in Central America that offers delicious and international cuisine. Asian Food? Yes. Mexican? Yes. Texas barbecue? Why not!

The WiFi in the hotels and hostels in Antigua is also some of the fastest. So coworking spaces aren’t necessary to go work at. Of course if you want to go out connect and meet people then coworking spaces are probably the better option. It is nice knowing you can work from your hostel and hotel if you need to though.

#8 – Hanoi, Vietnam

By Lee from The Travel Scribes

Beautiful street in Hanoi Vietnam with a train track running through it.

It’s probably one of the most underrated digital nomad cities in the world: Hanoi, Vietnam. Famous as a city of a million motorbikes. The incredible street food is honestly something you won’t find anywhere else in the world. There’s a load of amazing attractions! Hanoi is more than just culture – it attracts travellers and nomadic workers from all corners of the globe. But, why?

Most remote workers migrate to Hanoi for the cheap cost of living. A high-end apartment will cost about $600 per month. Even short-term Airbnb options under $1000, plus the food is particularly cheap. You can dine out at hawker stalls but also relaxed restaurants for less than $10. Munching on flaky spring rolls, sipping delicious pho and gorging yourself on banh mi, the French-inspired baguettes that have featured in many a travellers’ dreams.

The city is jam-packed with charm – from the friendly people trying to help you with your luggage, to the incredible sights like Train Street, or the cathedral or even spending an evening (or two) walking around Hoan Kiem Lake and mingling with locals trying their hand at yoga. But, more than that, it’s a great base if you want to explore a bit more of Vietnam – just hopping on a bus to nearby Sapa or to Ninh Binh/Tam Coc to check out the river cruises.

While the wifi in Hanoi might not be as fast as Vietnamese counterpart, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). It’s undoubtedly speedy enough. You can expect high speed internet in most high rises. You can easily spend a day working in the many cool cafes and coffee shops that usually boast quick wifi.

#9 – Phnom Penh, Cambodia

By Emily from Wander-Lush

Beautiful arial view of a street market in Phon Pehn Cambodia.

Although not as popular as cities in neighbouring Thailand or Vietnam, Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, is a terrific place for digital nomads. I lived in Phnom Penh for a year and found it a very comfortable and convenient base as a digital nomad.

Phnom Penh is a rapidly changing city that offers an interesting mix of the traditional and the contemporary. For example, new apartment buildings are constantly popping up, which makes it very easy to find an affordable long-term studio rental. Alternatively, you can also find beautiful wooden houses to rent right in the centre. Utilities, groceries and internet are all relatively cheap.

One of the highlights of living in Phnom Penh is having unlimited access to delicious local cuisine. There are plenty of international restaurants, too (many of them run by long-time expats), not to mention a dynamic bar and nightlife scene.

WIFI is great in Phnom Penh and 4G data is cheap (on my last visit, I paid just $10 for 40GB of mobile data). There are literally hundreds of great cafes in the capital. Plus a few dedicated co-working spaces that cater specifically to local entrepreneurs and digital nomads.

Because the expat population is so large, you can always find events, networking drinks and meet-ups throughout the week. When the city gets too much, you can always take a short trip to one of Cambodia’s charming smaller towns. Kampot on the river just south of Phnom Penh is a favorite weekend getaway.

#10 – Goa, India

By Sapna from My Simple Sojourn

Beautiful Yellow mansion in Goa India.

Goa is one of the most popular travel destinations among international and Indian travellers. The laid back feel, beaches, and its heritage are major attractions. Goa not only attracts travellers but it’s one of the popular places among digital nomads in India. It is a nice place to work remotely and relax.

Only two-three years ago the Internet was a big issue in Goa and it was difficult to work online. The WiFi was patchy and due to electric cuts. But the situation has completely changed for the better in the past few years. The city has started to realise how important good wifi is.

Internet connectivity improved. Several co-working spaces came up in different parts of Goa. Many hostels have co-working spaces and they provide good Wifi. Coming back to coworking spaces, the co-working spaces have different ways of working. Some provide fixed desks and some have a casual feel. So you can easily find a coworking space that fits your vibe!

When renting an apartment in Goa, you can also ask the landlord to provide a WiFi with it. All these help in working remotely. You can comfortably get a 2MBPS connection through WiFi.

Other than that the mobile internet is also very cheap in India. Most of the mobile network providers give 1 GB data per day along with the unlimited calling at approximately 500 INR ($7) monthly rentals. They claim that connection is 4G but at lots of places this runs at 3G speed.

Moreover, Goa has a cosmopolitan feel and is safe for solo travelers. People from across the globe come here so it’s easy to find food from different parts of the world.

While coming to the safety issue, you just need to follow the common sense and don’t do anything that you wouldn’t do at home.

Considering all the above factors and the cost of living, Goa is a good option for digital nomads. Since the community is growing it’s easy to find support in case you have any requirements. Other than this there are several beaches in Goa to relax in between working hours and the weather is nice & sunny.

#11 – Lisbon, Portugal

By Wendy from The Nomadic Vegan

Famous 28 tram on the street in Lisbon, Portugal.

Lisbon has become a real hotspot for digital nomads, and there are many good reasons for this. For one, the cost of living here is cheap compared with most other destinations in Western Europe. While prices have started to rise with the influx of tourists, Lisbon still offers excellent value, with lots of affordable restaurants and cafés as well as plenty of apartments available as short-term rentals. The locals are friendly, and most people under the age of 40 speak English fluently, so you don’t need to worry about being able to communicate.

Lisbon is also the sunniest capital in Europe, so you can expect good weather at pretty much any time of year. Though beware that most houses here have no central heating and are not well insulated. Which means it can sometimes feel colder inside than it does outside. Internet is fast and reliable, with service providers like Vodafone offering speeds of 100 Mbps with even their cheapest package.

And with so many other digital nomads flocking to Lisbon, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded people, and maybe even brainstorm and collaborate together on a new project. Through Facebook and Meetup.com you’ll find several groups specifically for Lisbon-based digital nomads. These groups often organize events, including both casual get-togethers and more formal workshops on topics like SEO and productivity.

#12 – Lanzarote, Spain

By Darek and Gosia from Darek And Gosia

Beautiful arial view of a beach in Lanzarote, Spain.

Lanzarote is not the digital nomad capital of the world but it’s a new and upcoming cool place! This is one of the best places in Europe for digital nomads who want a cheaper life, stunning views, and great food. Living costs are also affordable. Their internet connection is reliable, which is a must for every digital Nomad.

Known for its amazing climate in winter, Lanzarote is the top destination for any digital nomad from Europe. 20 degrees Celsius in winter helps to be more creative than on continental Europe.

The island is not part of the EU customs union which means it is duty-free! Many products on Lanzarote are very very cheap – yes, this is due to being duty-free, so your savings are massive! In the Canaries, they are exempt from VAT, but they do pay a local sales tax on most goods, which is just 6.5% (compared to 21% in continental Spain), so that’s another reason things often seem cheaper here.

#13 – Valencia, Spain

By Lauren from Always Find Adventure

Beautiful building in Valencia, Spain.

Valencia, Spain is a really great city if you want to be a digital nomad. It’s Spain’s 3rd largest city, so you will still get that metropolitan feel, with the coziness of an old charming Spanish town. The history runs deep here, even including The Holy Grail.

Valencia is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, so you have the beach as well as the city. You can easily access Barcelona or Madrid within 1-3 hours. There’s an airport here as well as 2 major train stations that give you access to travel cheap to other destinations within Spain, as well as within Europe and Northern African countries.

The city is very safe – you don’t need to worry about pickpocketing like you do in Barcelona. You can even feel safe walking home late at night by yourself.

In comparison to larger cities in Spain like Madrid or Barcelona, Valencia is far cheaper with rent being significantly less. In comparison to the US especially, food and drinks are very affordable here.

Meeting other people here, especially other digital nomads, is very easy. There are lots of expat meetups and digital nomad groups that co-work at different coffee shops every week. There are awesome coworking spaces like WayCo as well. Wifi is available in most cafes and restaurants so you will not have to worry about that.

The city of Valencia hosts many celebrations every month. There are lots of events to attend so you’ll never be bored. They have street fairs, fireworks, and events almost every weekend.

Valencia also has a great club scene from the beach, to the famous Russafa neighborhood, as well as MYA which is located in the Arts & Sciences complex. If you’re here in March, then make sure to come for Fallas which is one of the most unique festivals in the world.

#14 – Bali, Indonesia

By Rai from A Rai of Light

A stunning beach in Bali.

Bali is one of those destinations that steals the spotlight when it comes to destinations for digital nomads. And with good reason.

The island boasts numerous co-working options, friendly locals, a diversity of natural landscapes, and good food attracting travellers from all walks of life. You can’t go wrong with the choice of either Ubud or Canggu offering something for everyone.

On any given street you can reliably find a variety of cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets with goods from around the world. There is also a multitude of yoga studios, parks, and nature reserves within a reasonable distance.

I have spent quite a bit of time on the island. Fortunately, there is also a whole lot to do from discovering the temples and rice terraces to hiking the mountains and snorkeling in the abundant waters.

This cheap tropical island is also particularly safe increasing its appeal for both female digital nomad and the solo traveler. Bali is cheap and for a fraction of the cost in other places, one can live well, eat well, and work well in this paradise.

#15 – Buenos Aires, Argentina

By Daniel James from Layer Culture

Busy restaurant full of people in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

If you are looking for a new location to base yourself as a digital nomad, We suggest you check out Buenos Aires. Named as the Paris of South America you can come here with your online business and work in style.

Traveling around South America as a backpacker we chose Buenos Aires. It’s the perfect location to set-up one of my first online ventures. One reason for this was because of the great social life. Plus the sheer amount of events going on in the city. At times it felt like I was in a major European city and really enjoyed working out of the many coffee shops on offer.

I wrote some do’s and don’ts when it comes to safety in Buenos Aires. This so you can feel at ease, but all the main neighborhoods in the city appear safe. You just have to follow the regular safety rules you’d expect, especially when walking around with your laptop or other expensive electronics.

With zones like the Palermo and Recoleta, you can also meet other like-minded individuals and digital nomads if that is your thing. All in all Buenos Aires is one of my favorite cities for working online and after living there for 6 months I will return time and time again.

#16 – Medellín, Colombia

By Iris Veldwijk from Digital Nomads Guides

Beautiful apartment buildings in Medellin, Colombia.

My partner and I traveled around South America for two years while working online. People we’d met before had enthusiastically talked about Medellín, Colombia’s second-biggest city. So when we came to the country, we wanted to see with our own eyes why everyone reps Medellín. It did not disappoint!

The city of eternal spring is full of work-friendly cafés, comfy Airbnbs, fast internet, and great munch places. And yes, the climate is indeed very pleasant throughout the year, without any marked rainy season. We loved it there so much that we extended our 90-day Colombian visa to double that amount and returned to Medellín after a short stint in the San Andrés archipelago.

In total, we spent five weeks working on a digital nomad-centric travel guide to Medellín. We met many people – Colombian and foreign – who are pursuing their location independent dreams in this city. They organized co-working sessions, built co-living spaces, and organized relaxing events in the evening.

Our favorite neighborhoods were Laureles, El Poblado, and Envigado. They are all very different in terms of availability of affordable accommodation, social events, tranquility, and walkability. It’s a good idea to either book accommodations for a short time to sample all neighborhoods or to really research into what it is you’re looking for to live your best life.

The country ‘Colombia’ and the city ‘Medellín’ make some people uncomfortable for fear of their personal safety. But the country has changed a lot over the years. As long as you’re not pursuing a career as a narco and keep your wits about you, there’s no reason to fear a visit to this lovely country.

In my experience, Colombians themselves are a friendly bunch – and I hitchhiked with many of them from socioeconomic estrato uno to estrato seis. Many Colombians are very entrepreneurial as well, so you might just find a great friend to talk about your online business while doing a language exchange to improve that Spanish. Colombia is a country to watch, and Medellín the city of those exciting developments.

#17 – Cape Town, South Africa

By Alya from Stingy Nomads

People walking by the port in downtown Cape Town, South Africa.

Cape Town is a great place for digital nomads who love outdoor activities. The city is squeezed in between it’s famous mountains and the ocean. If you are a foodie or wine lover, the spectacular wine estates and restaurants all the way from Costantia to Franschhoek, the foodie heaven in South Africa, offers plenty to fill your Cape Town itinerary.

The blogging community in Cape Town is quite active. So it’s easy to find people in the same niche and to connect with them. There are many great coffee shops and coworking spaces for online entrepreneurs where you can meet new people.

As digital nomads returning to Cape Town every summer we enjoy living in the Bloubergstrand area. The Big Bay neighbourhood near the beach is relatively safe with shops within walking distance. It is great for running on the beach, surfing and is a world renowned spot for kitesurfing.

Other popular areas for digital nomads are Seapoint. It’s great for digital nomads who want to stay near the ocean and close to the center of the city. For those who prefer to stay in an upmarket area close to the sea, Camps Bay is the place to be. The V&A Waterfront is one of the safest areas to stay, on the water’s edge with great views of Table Mountain and walking distance from the vibrant harbour and a luxury mall.

The weather around Cape Town is great for digital nomads, it’s warm and sunny most of the year, basically from October till May you can enjoy being outside, with the temperatures really picking up in January and February. Renting a place in Cape Town is quite affordable, especially if you can rent longer term.

#18 – Playa del Carmen, Mexico

By Hannah & Adam Lukaszewicz from GettingStamped

Girl overlooking beaches and ruins in Tulum overlooking Playa Del Carmen.

Playa del Carmen, or known as “Playa” by the locals, is not just a favorite vacation destination to us, rather it was our home base for six months. Playa is said to be Cancun’s little brother – a little bit smaller and more condensed which is great for digital nomads.

Unlike Cancun where the main town is a little further away, the town and beach in Playa are close together. This means that Playa is a very walkable city so getting around is relatively easy. Also, for the duration of our time living here, we felt very safe.

There’s also a community of expats in Playa that meet up a few times every month and it was awesome to get to meet other nomads like ourselves.

What we loved most about living here was the amazing work life balance we had in Playa, as the beach and all nearby attractions are close by to visit easily. Besides visiting the beach almost every day, we were able to check out the amazing Mayan Ruins in the area, explore nearby cenotes and even visit nearby Tulum a few times. Plus, Playa has so many great food spots and bars. It truly was the best of both worlds!

#19 – Ericeria, Portugal

By Dom & Jo from Red White Adventures

Beautiful photo of Lapoint Surf Camp in Ericeira.

Ericeira in Portugal is well known for having some of the best surfing in Europe, but did you know that Ericeira is also an up-and-coming digital nomad town?

From amazing surfing to fresh seafood to awesome coliving and coworking spaces, the small town Ericeira really has it all! Dom and I travel as digital nomads it is so important for us to not only have a good office space but also to be able to go out and explore as well as connecting with other like-minded people.

We can highly recommend staying at the Lapoint Surf Camp Ericeira – even if you don’t surf! Our favourite part about staying there was by far the community. If you travel to Portugal as a digital nomad you cannot miss out on Ericeira!

    Awesome list! I definitely agree with Bali and Chiang Mai – two amazing locations to live as a digital nomad.

  2. Tiana Bantis on March 8, 2020 at 3:53 am

    Soo many cool locations to become a nomad! Would love to be based in Amsterdam or somewhere in Asia! One day soon hopefully!

    • redwhiteadventures on March 11, 2020 at 10:42 am

      Hey Tiana,

      I was just thinking that to, how cool it would be to be based out of Amsterdam..a city with so much going on. Such a big hub for air travel as well.

    I just came from Goa it was lovely! Stayed there for 5 months. I stayed at NomadGao, it was a really nice coworking/coliving space with a great nomad community.

    • redwhiteadventures on August 11, 2020 at 7:48 am

      Hey Alex,

      Thats amazing! Thats some great information to know. It’s good to hear good things about places we’ve recommend. Will save the name for when we go visit Goa one day.

      -Dom

  6. Sam Joad on February 23, 2022 at 5:44 pm

    Good list indeed. A little surprised to see no cities in Turkey (Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum) made the list. Low cost of living, great connectivity, amazing food, lots of things to do and overall easy place to acess. I personally know over a dozen digital nomads, especially with families who have moved there on a mid to long term basis.

    • redwhiteadventures on February 24, 2022 at 3:45 pm

      Thank you, Sam! That is a very good suggestion. We haven’t been to Turkey ourselves but maybe we can find someone who has experience with it who can help share their experiences 🙂

    Try South Lombok next time instead of Bali. Just next island over. Much better spot in Indonesia.

    • redwhiteadventures on April 7, 2022 at 12:28 pm

      Hey Stephen, thanks for your comment!

      Yes, we’ve actually been looking at visiting South Lombok once the World opens up again. Looks like an amazing place 🙂

      Best,
      Jo
