Settling into a new country as digital nomads isn’t always easy…⁣
⁣
…We spent our first full month in Medellin, Colombia going through a list of things to sort out for ourselves (per usual).⁣
⁣
It might look like we just land in a country and have everything sorted by day 1 but that’s certainly not the case.⁣
⁣
In each country as digital nomads, you have to:⁣
- Buy a local SIM card (or find an eSIM solution - @airalocom & @realnomadtravel are our faves)⁣
- Find your local grocery store⁣
- Get connected with the digital nomad community (constantly putting ourselves out there)⁣
- Figure out where to work (coworking vs cafes)⁣
- Plan the activities we want to do while visiting the country⁣
- And so much more!⁣
⁣
We heard so much about Medellin for digital nomads, we just had to check out what all the buzz was about (especially as we run a blog for digital nomads).⁣
⁣
This was also my (Ashley’s) birthday month and we went paragliding for the first time (2nd pic). We flew with @paraglidingmedellin 💯 I absolutely loved it - if you get the chance, it was a great experience!⁣

2022 didn’t start off as we expected…⁣
⁣
…lying on the beach in Thailand, one of our favorite places in the world. 🌴⁣
⁣
Instead, we were touring a couple more US cities: Phoenix, San Francisco and Miami! At this point, we didn’t know how our year would look but we just needed to nail down our next location as digital nomads.⁣
⁣
How did we do that? Simply go on Google flights, enter Miami (where we currently were) and don’t add a destination! There was one place that popped up that was high on our digital nomad destination list - Medellin, Colombia! 🇨🇴⁣
⁣
For $245.15 USD total, Matthew and I hopped on a 2 hour plane ride to a country (and continent) we’ve never stepped foot on before! 🥹⁣
⁣
We were tired of flying and traveling (faster than usual) and we decided to make Medellin our base for a few months but that’s for the next couple of posts to come…⁣

Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ Dig Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀
Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiti Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiting Croatia 🇭🇷

In fact, lots of people never make it up this way. But digital nomads do!

Here’s the reasons we chose Zagreb as our digital nomad hub for the month of July:

💸 AFFORDABLE COST OF LIVING
Zagreb is less crowded during the summer time which means you get more deals on things like accommodation - its much cheaper than Split or Dubrovnik! Here’s some numbers (in USD) to give you a better picture:

🚊 Public transport = $0.80
☕️ Coffee + drinks = $2 - $4
🍽 Eating Out = $9 - $12
🛶 Activities = $5 - $50

👯‍♀️ GROWING DIGITAL NOMAD COMMUNITY
We’re surprised by how strong the community is in Zagreb! We made friends during our first coworking event & found an awesome group of digital nomads to hang out with ever since.

👩🏻‍💻 DECENT CAFE & COWORKING SCENE
We cowork at cafes with our friends at least 2-3 times a week. Coworking is kind of expensive here and imo not worth it because it’s too ‘corporate’ for our liking.

⛺️ GREAT BASE TO EXPLORE CROATIA
Plitvice Lakes is 2.5 hours away & popular coast towns like Pula, Zadar or Rovinj are only 3-4 hours drive away. You get the structure that comes from having a base but you get to travel/explore on the weekends - kinda perfect!

☺️ COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE
Public transport is a breeze in Zagreb - you can take a bus, tram or walk into the city fairly quick. It's super safe here!

We’ve lived in Zagreb as digital nomads for a couple weeks now and tbh - we didn’t love it at first. But after some time, we can now say we are seriously enjoying our lifestyle here. The community is amazing and we’re so glad we chose Zagreb! It’s just so peaceful and comfortable (which you don’t expect from a capital city)!

Would you consider being a digital nomad in Zagreb?

Do Digital Nomad Jobs Really Exist?

The short answer is… YES!

There are so many people, from lots of different countries, backgrounds, and cultures all over the world who work and travel full time as digital nomads.

I was at a coworking space recently and the staff told me that there were people from 32 different countries working from that space.

digital nomad jobs

 

32 different countries! That’s amazing…

It shows that no matter where you are from, what your background or experiences are, you can MOST DEFINITELY make money while you travel.

You just need to have a vision of where you want to go, be committed to the journey, and work hard to get there.

How To Create Your Own Digital Nomad Job

Now that we have got that cleared up, let’s jump in and talk about how you can do it.

To give you a better understanding, I have broken down some “Quick Facts” at the beginning of each idea. Here are the definitions of each quick fact:

  • Potential Income: The potential amount of money you can make from this idea each year. This is by no means definitive, but it will give you some context for what is possible.
  • How Long it will Take: An estimate of how many months it can take to make enough money to travel full time.
  • Hours Per Week: The typical amount of time a digital nomad spends working in this field each week while traveling.
  • Startup Costs: The estimated amount of money that you will need to get started.

I have gotten these figures and facts from my own experience, speaking to a multitude of other digital nomads and my research.

Remember, each idea is broad so that you can take the one that sticks out to you most and apply it to something niche and specific that you are passionate about.

Best Digital Nomad Jobs Right Now

If you are serious about working and traveling full time, you are in the right place! Let’s get started in building your digital nomad career.

1. Skilled Freelancer

Freelancing is how most digital nomads start off.

You can create a flexible digital nomad lifestyle and ultimately still work for yourself. Does it get better than that?

I’ll leave that for you to decide.

skilled freelancer job

 

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: USD $40,000 to $100,000+
  • How Long Will it Take?: 6-12 months
  • Hours Per Week: 40 – 45 hours
  • Startup Costs: $0 – $500

Skilled Freelancer Overview

Being a freelancer is one of the best places to start when traveling full-time. Most freelancers that I have met work pretty hard and also reap serious benefits in terms of earning potential and flexibility.

You can be a skilled freelancer in almost anything that provides value to the client. Some of the most popular skilled freelancer jobs for digital nomads are:

  • Social media marketer
  • Media buyer
  • Software developer
  • Content creation (writing, video, graphics)
  • App developer
  • Content writer
  • Search engine optimization
  • Accountant

The sky is literally the limit. If you have a skill and the experience to prove it – kickstart your digital nomad career as a freelancer. There are even lawyers who are digital nomads now.

As long as you can use a laptop and have an internet connection, a full-time skilled freelancer is a good place to start.

Skilled Freelancer Benefits:

  • Huge flexibility in the location of work
  • Very low startup costs
  • Fast starting time to earn enough money to travel
  • Opportunity to earn more income (and keep all the profits)

How to Get Started as a Freelancer

The way businesses hire freelancers today has changed from about 5 years ago. Businesses no longer want to hire freelancers who are “good at everything”. Most businesses want freelancers who have a very specific skill set.

The first thing you need to do is choose something to be an expert at. This will help you land more freelance gigs as well as make more money.

Why?

Experts can charge more money and get higher-paying clients. Let’s say you want to become a freelance writer. Ideally, you want to get more specific than that. Focus on a specific industry such as health and fitness.

This will help you land higher-paying freelance gigs because you are an expert freelance writer for the health and fitness industry – Your not just a generalist.

Once you have a chosen skill, ensure that you have the knowledge to deliver outstanding results.

I would start by creating profiles on sites like Fiverr and UpWork as well as leveraging your contacts on LinkedIn to get work. You can also check out relevant Facebook groups as this is a good place to pick up some clients.

Keys to Success:

  • Choosing a good niche industry to focus on
  • Being an expert in a specific skill or market
  • Building good relations with clients long-term
  • Leveraging your current network to get your initial clients

2. Full-Time Blogger

Ever thought of running your own blog?

Blogging can create a great digital nomad lifestyle. It’s not as easy as most people make it out to be, but your hard work can really pay off.

full time blogger

 

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $40,000 to $200,000+
  • How Long Will it Take?: 12 – 24 months
  • Hours Per Week: 20 hours
  • Startup Costs: $150 – $1000

Blogger Overview

We have all heard of travel bloggers.

But bloggers come in many different forms and in lots of different niches. You could be a blogger who writes blog posts, a blogger who makes videos (vlogger) or both.

The best thing about blogging is that there are so many opportunities to monetize. You can do it through affiliate marketing, referrals, sponsored posts, ads, and so much more.

After getting some traction, bloggers typically spend less than 20 hours a week working on writing, creating, posting and marketing. This means that you have a huge earning potential with very little work.

However, in the beginning, getting a good blog up and running does take a lot of effort and time. And I mean a lot!

But once you get there, the payoff is great. If you love to write, shoot videos, teach, and inspire others, being a blogger could be a great option. You could start a lifestyle blog or blog about a niche you are passionate about.

Benefits Of Running A Blog:

  • Large earning potential
  • Very little work after getting good traction
  • Many different ways to earn money
  • Low startup costs

How to Get Started with Blogging

The most important thing when starting a blog is choosing a niche. You need to choose a niche that you are passionate about, is specific, and has an audience that is engaged.

Once you have chosen your niche topic, you need to shift your focus to content.

Content will be the lifeblood of your business, so make sure you are relevant, provide value and speak to the needs of your audience. Do these 3 things well and you will be on your way to setting yourself up as a successful blogger.

Keys to Success:

  • Choose a niche topic with an engaged audience
  • Write or Shoot 3-4 blogs/vlogs each week
  • Provide lots of value for your audience
  • Build a good email list of followers
  • Be consistent and have a long-term perspective

3. Ecommerce Store

Ecommerce stores are considered by some as the ultimate online business.

Why?

Because once you have your business up and running you can predictably make money. And if you have a good product, your earnings can explode. Here’s what you need to know.

ecommerce store owner

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $25,000 – $150,000
  • How Long Will it Take?: 8-15 months
  • Hours Per Week: 15-20 hours
  • Startup Costs: $250 – $10,000

Ecommerce Store Owner Overview

Ecommerce can be a great digital nomad job.

You have a lot of flexibility in the business model you use whether it’s print-on-demand, drop-shipping, digital product, white-labeling, or creating your own product.

Marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy also open up a place where you can list and sell products to an already established audience.

Being an ecommerce store owner is great because you can often scale quickly and once going, requires just a couple of hours a day to fulfill orders and update digital marketing activities.

That said, if you create your own product, you will need to be aware of the potentially difficult operations and cash flow issues that can arise.

Because online competition has increased over the years, you need to have a strong digital marketing strategy in place. Being either skilled in digital marketing or having extra cash to hire an agency is essential to get continued sales and build a loyal fan base.

Ecommerce Store Owner Benefits:

  • Very little time required to run the business
  • Lots of flexibility with the business model
  • Potential fast return on investment
  • Able to scale fast or downsize as required

How to Get Started With An Ecommerce Store

A successful ecommerce store always starts with an audience that you want to sell to.

Most people make the mistake of deciding on a product then trying to find an audience to buy that product.

Once you have decided on a niche audience (industry/market) you will need to do your research to find out what products they want to buy.

Spend time doing your research, asking questions in online forums, and talking to people to find out what they are interested in.

This will be the difference between having an amazing start and a potentially devastating one.

Keys to Success:

  • Finding and serving a niche audience that has disposable income
  • Good quality products with enough margin
  • Strong digital marketing strategy
  • Cash flow management and good operations

4. Remote Job

You don’t have to run a business to become a digital nomad.

If you didn’t know… The world has gone remote (almost). The truth is that tons of companies offer remote jobs to employees and encourage them to become digital nomads.

If starting your own business isn’t your thing, get a remote job instead.

remote digital nomad job

 

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $40,000 – $85,000
  • How Long Will it Take?: 2-6 months
  • Hours Per Week: 40 – 45 hours
  • Startup Costs: $0 – $100

Remote Job Overview

Getting a remote job is probably the fastest way to become a digital nomad.

If you are the kind of person who just wants to travel and work but doesn’t have the drive to build a business, getting a remote job could be your best option.

Getting a remote job is the fastest way to start earning enough money to travel full time. You are still in a stable job, you just get all the benefits of traveling as well.

The only downside to getting a remote job is the fact that it is a job.

So you will always have to put in the full-time hours each week and depending on your contract, you may have to still work the business hours of your head office (which can be tricky with different time zones).

You also are capped at your earning potential and there isn’t any way to scale.

However, in saying that, most digital nomads and full-time travelers that I know with remote jobs, are building their business on the side. So, this could actually be a big benefit.

Make sure you think about the type of job you want. Job type will be a big factor in the lifestyle you have as a digital nomad.

Benefits of a Remote Job:

  • You could get a job by next week and start traveling immediately
  • Stable salary and income
  • Opportunity to travel without having to start a business
  • Part of a team

How to Get Started with a Remote Job

To get started with a remote job you need to look at your digital nomad skills, experience, and qualities.

You then need to create a strong professional profile for yourself which can include:

  • Resume
  • Cover letter
  • LinkedIn profile
  • Other social sites
  • Personal Website

Then it’s time to look for a job.

Check out websites like Flexjobs, Hubstaff, We Work Remotely, Working Nomads, and even LinkedIn. Then it’s the same as following the formal recruitment process.

With this type of job, you will often go through different stages and rounds in the interview process. If you stick to applying for jobs that are a great fit, you will be much more successful.

Keys to Success:

  • Having good experience and skills that suit the job
  • Creating a strong professional profile
  • Choosing jobs to apply for that suit you perfectly
  • Managing your time and sticking to deadlines

5. Unskilled Freelancer

You don’t have to be a “skilled” freelancer.

There are tons of digital nomad jobs designed for unskilled freelancers. The truth is you need to have some sort of skills but when I say “unskilled” I just mean a job type that doesn’t require formal education or previous skills to learn.

Here’s what you need to know to become an unskilled freelancer.

unskilled freelancer

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $25,000 – $50,000+
  • How Long Will it Take?: 3 – 12 months
  • Hours Per Week: 10 – 40+ hours
  • Startup Costs: $100 – $500

Unskilled Freelancer Overview

You don’t need a university degree to get (or create) a digital nomad job.

In other words, someone who knows how to use a computer, send emails and use Microsoft word could easily jump into these freelance jobs and start making money.

You might be thinking, “do these really exist?” Yes, they do!

The number 1 example of this job type is a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant typically has tasks such as scheduling appointments, booking flights, web research, managing emails, creating documents, and other administrative work.

Other unskilled freelance jobs can include-

  • Content writing
  • Proofreading/Editing
  • Customer service
  • Tutoring
  • English teaching
  • Content writer
  • Social media manager (depends on the clients’ requirements).

A lot of startups and entrepreneurs look to hire unskilled freelancers part-time, so there is a significant amount of opportunity and you can typically manage 2-3 clients at one time.

If you don’t have any formal skills or experience, but still have a passion to travel and work remotely, look more into these kinds of jobs for freelancing.

Benefits of an Unskilled Freelancer:

  • No formal skills or experience required
  • High demand for part-time or even full-time work
  • Good salary and enough to travel and live
  • Huge flexibility in the location to work

How to Start as an Unskilled Freelancer

The first thing you need to do is decide the kinds of services that you want to offer your clients.

If you are looking at a virtual assistant role, you need to come up with a list of services that you will offer. After that, come up with a pricing model which either includes a pay-per-hour fee or set packages.

You will want to create a website and an online professional profile for yourself. Remember you are a freelancer, not an employee, so you are not entitled to benefits and you do have overheads such as website hosting, office expenses, and software subscriptions.

So when you approach clients, make sure that your pricing includes these things.

Keys to Success:

  • A concise list of services that you can offer
  • Building good relations with clients long-term
  • Assisting clients with tasks that you can do
  • Leveraging your current network to get your initial clients

6. Online Course Creator

I personally love this as an idea as a digital nomad job.

Here’s why:

because it is extremely popular at the moment (and will be in the future) to take courses online. Thinking of starting your own online course?

Pay attention to this next section.

online course creator

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $35,000 to $120,000
  • How Long Will it Take?: 6-12 months
  • Hours Per Week: 10-15 hours
  • Startup Costs: $500 – $5000

Online Course Creator

The internet has completely changed the way we learn and one of the things that has come out of that change is online courses.

You can now teach hundreds of thousands of people around the world from your laptop. That is kind of crazy. If you have a skill or hobby that you know other people would be interested in learning, then an online course is a great option.

You can create courses on anything, from teaching people how to become a good barista to more professional things like starting a business.

Benefits of a Video Course Teacher:

  • Can be low startup costs
  • Extremely scalable business
  • High demand for courses
  • Very little work each week once started
  • High income earning potential

How to Start Creating Online Courses

The first thing you have to decide is the types of courses you want to make.

Do you want to create a long (3 hours +) course that teaches people something large? Or, would you prefer to create a short (less than 1.5 hours) course that teaches a very specific skill?

After deciding this, think about the type of skills, hobbies, passions, and experiences you have and make a list of potential courses you could create.

You also need to decide whether you will create a course for a platform like Skillshare or Udemy, or go it alone and leverage software like Kartra or Teachable to run a full-fledged course-based business.

If you’re just getting started, I would opt for the first choice and after having some success create your own brand and website for your courses.

This will dramatically increase your income earning potential over time.

Keys to Success:

  • Offer real information based on experience
  • Serve a niche audience
  • Invest in the right equipment
  • Choose a business model that works for you

7. Coach or Consultant

It is crazy how fast the coaching and consulting industry has exploded over the last few years.

Nowadays, everyone has a coach or consultant for everything. This is truly a great industry to get yourself involved in right now.

coach and consultant

 

 

Quick Facts:

  • Potential Income: $50,000 to $200,000
  • How Long Will it Take?: 3-18 months
  • Hours Per Week: 30 – 50 hours
  • Startup Costs: $1000 – $5000

Coach And Consultant Overview

The options are literally endless when it comes to coaching and consulting. If you can fast-track someone on their way to success, there is an opportunity for you.

Coaches and consultants work very hard, especially at the beginning of their businesses. You will need to create a system to build your personal brand and attract potential clients.

There are multiple different types of business models available. You need to decide whether you will:

  • Create an online program
  • 1 to 1 coaching/consulting
  • Group programs

You also need to decide whether to charge by the hour, have set packages, or charge subscription fees.

But with so many decisions you also get a lot of flexibility to create an online business that suits your digital nomad lifestyle.

Coaches and consultants both have huge income earning potential, regardless of the model they choose.

I have personally met a lot of full-time traveling coaches and consultants that earn very good money. Some work long hours, others don’t.

It depends on the goals they have and the type of business they run.

Benefits of Being a Coach or Consultant:

  • High income earning potential
  • Very flexible digital nomad lifestyle
  • Short starting time
  • Long-term, high growth industry

How to Get Started as a Coach or Consultant

Your first step is to decide what you are going to be coaching or consulting on.

To be a good coach or consultant you need to have real experience. Just knowledge is not enough. People will come to you with a wealth of challenges and you need to know how to handle and help them.

After deciding your niche area to focus on you need to look at the different business models available.

As you plan to travel full time, I would choose a model that works well with that lifestyle.

You will also need to have a reasonable idea of how to brand and market yourself so that you can get good clients and charge reasonable fees.

The key to remember as a coach or consultant is, if you provide value and care for your clients, you are already 50% of the way to being successful!

Word of warning: Make sure you know what you are doing.

You don’t want to be the “business coach” that has never run a business or the “digital nomad lifestyle coach” that has only just become a digital nomad.

Keys to Success:

  • Real-world, insightful experience
  • Ability to understand and solve problems quickly
  • Good branding and marketing strategies
  • Excellent content and plans to help people

People often make the mistake of trying to serve everyone or learn too many skills and therefore are not focussed enough. This is not a good perspective to take and will lead to difficulties down the road.

Now that you have a good overview of the best ways to make money while traveling, the next step is to select what you are going to do.

Choose one of the ways above, then apply it to what you want to do and where your passions lie.

Remember:

You are not trying to make a few quick bucks online. Rather, with these ideas, you are building a long-term, sustainable income. Keep this in mind while you get started and make sure your expectations are in the right place.

You should also make a digital nomad budget so you know exactly how much you need to earn.

If you do these things, hold on to your vision, and work hard, I have no doubt that you can make money while traveling the world full time.

Digital Nomad Budget: How To Create Your Own Full Time Travel Budget

Welcome!

We’re Matt and Ashley, the American-Aussie couple behind this blog. In 2018, we realized we could take our work with us…anywhere in the world. We packed our bags, sold our stuff and bought two tickets to Bali. Today, we slow travel full-time, run our business from our laptops and embrace life one adventure at a time. We’ve completely fallen in love with the freedom that comes with this lifestyle and we hope to inspire you to join us on the digital nomad journey!

Settling into a new country as digital nomads isn’t always easy…⁣
⁣
…We spent our first full month in Medellin, Colombia going through a list of things to sort out for ourselves (per usual).⁣
⁣
It might look like we just land in a country and have everything sorted by day 1 but that’s certainly not the case.⁣
⁣
In each country as digital nomads, you have to:⁣
- Buy a local SIM card (or find an eSIM solution - @airalocom & @realnomadtravel are our faves)⁣
- Find your local grocery store⁣
- Get connected with the digital nomad community (constantly putting ourselves out there)⁣
- Figure out where to work (coworking vs cafes)⁣
- Plan the activities we want to do while visiting the country⁣
- And so much more!⁣
⁣
We heard so much about Medellin for digital nomads, we just had to check out what all the buzz was about (especially as we run a blog for digital nomads).⁣
⁣
This was also my (Ashley’s) birthday month and we went paragliding for the first time (2nd pic). We flew with @paraglidingmedellin 💯 I absolutely loved it - if you get the chance, it was a great experience!⁣

2022 didn’t start off as we expected…⁣
⁣
…lying on the beach in Thailand, one of our favorite places in the world. 🌴⁣
⁣
Instead, we were touring a couple more US cities: Phoenix, San Francisco and Miami! At this point, we didn’t know how our year would look but we just needed to nail down our next location as digital nomads.⁣
⁣
How did we do that? Simply go on Google flights, enter Miami (where we currently were) and don’t add a destination! There was one place that popped up that was high on our digital nomad destination list - Medellin, Colombia! 🇨🇴⁣
⁣
For $245.15 USD total, Matthew and I hopped on a 2 hour plane ride to a country (and continent) we’ve never stepped foot on before! 🥹⁣
⁣
We were tired of flying and traveling (faster than usual) and we decided to make Medellin our base for a few months but that’s for the next couple of posts to come…⁣

Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ Dig Well, that's the truth...🤷🏻‍♀️

Digital nomad life isn’t for everyone.

There are days you’ll feel excited to live in a new country every couple of months, ready to learn about other cultures & always inspired by fellow digital nomads you meet on the road. 

But there are days where you’ll feel lonely, stuck, miserable and exhausted from moving and/or always making new friends. 

This digital nomad lifestyle is no way perfect, as it may look. But…

We wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiti Zagreb isn’t your likely destination when visiting Croatia 🇭🇷

In fact, lots of people never make it up this way. But digital nomads do!

Here’s the reasons we chose Zagreb as our digital nomad hub for the month of July:

💸 AFFORDABLE COST OF LIVING
Zagreb is less crowded during the summer time which means you get more deals on things like accommodation - its much cheaper than Split or Dubrovnik! Here’s some numbers (in USD) to give you a better picture:

🚊 Public transport = $0.80
☕️ Coffee + drinks = $2 - $4
🍽 Eating Out = $9 - $12
🛶 Activities = $5 - $50

👯‍♀️ GROWING DIGITAL NOMAD COMMUNITY
We’re surprised by how strong the community is in Zagreb! We made friends during our first coworking event & found an awesome group of digital nomads to hang out with ever since.

👩🏻‍💻 DECENT CAFE & COWORKING SCENE
We cowork at cafes with our friends at least 2-3 times a week. Coworking is kind of expensive here and imo not worth it because it’s too ‘corporate’ for our liking.

⛺️ GREAT BASE TO EXPLORE CROATIA
Plitvice Lakes is 2.5 hours away & popular coast towns like Pula, Zadar or Rovinj are only 3-4 hours drive away. You get the structure that comes from having a base but you get to travel/explore on the weekends - kinda perfect!

☺️ COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE
Public transport is a breeze in Zagreb - you can take a bus, tram or walk into the city fairly quick. It's super safe here!

We’ve lived in Zagreb as digital nomads for a couple weeks now and tbh - we didn’t love it at first. But after some time, we can now say we are seriously enjoying our lifestyle here. The community is amazing and we’re so glad we chose Zagreb! It’s just so peaceful and comfortable (which you don’t expect from a capital city)!

Would you consider being a digital nomad in Zagreb?

Novi Sad, this charming town is the best day trip Novi Sad, this charming town is the best day trip from Belgrade🇷🇸

Looking to escape the city life? It’s easy enough to catch the train, Novi Sad is a small town perfect for chilling, wandering around and drinking coffee at the cute cafes.

HOW TO GET THERE 🚊
Take the Coco high-speed trains that get you to Novi Sad in only 36 mins. Buy tickets via the app - Srbija voz and it’s only going to cost $3.40 USD for a one-way first class ticket.

COFFEE ☕️
Sit at a cafe and enjoy a cup of coffee - Zenit Books & Loft Downtown.

FOOD 🥘
Pls try Burek - the best place in Novi Sad is 100% Burek. Kombinat is a popular place to have lunch. But we recommend grabbing food from Maxi and having a picnic at Danube Park!

SEE, DO 🏰
Visit the Petrovaradin Fortress at sunset, chill on the ‘beach’ - The Strand, walk around Danube Park & stare at the beautiful Name of Mary Catholic Church.

You can spend a day in Novi Sad or it’s also great for a weekend getaway. Whichever you choose, just don’t miss Novi Sad on your digital nomad travels through Serbia 🇷🇸
