Lisbon (Portugal)

The Portuguese capital is fantastic if you want to spend time travelling while balancing a job as well. Beautiful Lisbon oozes with old world charm and fun city life, and this is amplified with perfect summer weather and delectable cuisine. Strong and low-cost internet connections are also a huge plus. Did you know that Portugal also offers a digital nomad visa?

Timişoara (Romania)

The energy and vibe that Timişoara emanates is youthful and hip, making it an excellent place for digital nomads to set up shop if they are looking for a lively place to live. It is as convenient as a large city but also as peaceful as a rural town.

Chiang Mai (Thailand)

Chiang Mai is a trendy and popular nomadic hub, which boasts a wide range of coworking spaces and facilities, restaurants, cafes and amazingly fast internet speeds. If you can ignore the air quality, Chiang Mai is a safe and chillaxed city to live in.
