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?

In this cost of living Antigua Guatemala guide, you’ll learn the total monthly costs, how much rent is, eating out, entertainment and so much more! If you have ever thought of visiting Antigua Guatemala – keep scrolling to see what it could cost you to stay for a month!

Was The Cost Of Living In Antigua Guatemala Cheap Or Expensive?

Why Should Digital Nomads Go To Antigua, Guatemala?

Before we go into the costs, we need to understand why digital nomads are flocking to Antigua Guatemala. In recent years, it has gained popularity amongst digital nomads in search of a great work-life balance with a low cost of living.

volcano views antigua guatemala

What makes people become Antigua digital nomads? It could be because of the…

  • Beautiful nature & landscape:Antigua is surrounded by volcanoes and it is one of the most unique views you’ll ever see.
  • Cobblestone streets & colonial architecture: The entire city of Antigua is a UNESCO Heritage Site that transports you back in time. The colonial architecture will have you taking photos around every corner!
  • Growing digital nomad community:We made a whole bunch of digital nomad friends while living in Antigua. It was so easy because people are very welcome there and there’s places just for digital nomads to connect like coworking spaces popping up everywhere.
  • Affordable cost of living:I’m going to be straight with you – it’s not the cheapest place to be a digital nomad. You also won’t get the value for money as you do in Bali or Thailand. That just seems to be the reality of being a Latin America digital nomad.

There are tons of more reasons such as countless activities to do, beautiful weather, etc. We believe it’s only going to grow in popularity as the city opens more coworking spaces, coliving spaces and improves their wifi. Guatemala is also such a beautiful country – it’s worth the visit to Guatemala at least once in your life!

QUICK OVERVIEW – How Much Did We Spend In Guatemala For 1 Month?

As digital nomads who slow travel, we like to spend 1-3 months in each location. This gives us a little more stability to build a routine and (actually) get work done!

This is why all of our cost of living guides will be based on 1 month worth of expenses. We also travel as a couple which will be reflected in the costs!

Here’s the total cost of living in Antigua, Guatemala as a digital nomad couple:

CATEGORYCOST (USD)
Accommodation$533
Groceries$272
Dining Out$583
Transport$67
Phone Plan$26
Activities & Entertainment $65
Gym Membership$50
TOTAL:$1,537

From a quick glance, it can seem like a lot. Just remember this is what WE spent based on our budget and things we like to do. You can spend more or less – there are always ways to save some money but it’s up to you what kind of lifestyle you want to have as a digital nomad in Antigua Guatemala.

In the detailed breakdown, you’ll understand why we spent what we did for our cost of living in Antigua Guatemala.

Cost of Living in Antigua Guatemala – Detailed Breakdown

  • How much does an apartment cost in Antigua?
  • Can I afford to eat out every day for every meal?
  • Is it cheap or expensive to live in Antigua for a month?

Whether we like it or not, costs can play a big factor in where you go next as a digital nomad. It honestly all depends on the kind of lifestyle you’re after.

We think we spent quite a bit while living in Antigua! We made a lot of friends and our eating out bill is higher than usual and there’s just so many other factors that make up our total cost of living in Antigua Guatemala.

In the next section, I’ll share more about why we spent what we did and evaluate if Antigua Guatemala was cheap or expensive!

Accommodation Costs – $533 USD

Before you get excited about that number we spent on rent, we spent hours searching for it on Airbnb and we had to compromise on some creature comforts. For this Airbnb, we messaged the host to ask for a further discount which they accepted! They were some of the kindest hosts and worked hard to make the space great for us.

airbnb kitchen antigua guatemala

We rented a studio apartment on the west side of the city and it takes around 15 minutes to walk to the city center. It’s rather small and cramped with a double bed. The kitchen was also not that great to cook in but it still worked! While it wasn’t the most amazing place we stayed in, we think we got GREAT value for money!

To give you an idea – it can cost you anywhere between $800 USD to $1200 USD if you want to live in the city center of Antigua. Rent is where a big chunk of your budget will go! The thing is…it’s hard to find a modern apartment with up-to-date amenities in Antigua. You’ll end up paying close to $1,000 USD and it honestly might not be that great. You can forget about getting a villa with a pool like in Bali!

Grocery Costs – $272

The best place to buy groceries are La Bodegona or Supermercado La Torre Jocotenango. The latter is located in a town about 10 minutes Uber drive from the city.

Matthew and I went to Supermercado most of the time because there is so much more variety and the meat looks clean. We only used Bodegona for the small things we forgot to get at Supermercado. It does cost a little higher but this is comparatively the same as it costs for groceries around Latin America that we’ve experienced!

antigua to lake atitlan

This is a bigger bill than we expected because we ate out more often than we thought we would. A lot of groceries went to waste which sucks but we have learned from it since then! We went once every 2 weeks and it was a pretty healthy budget to make all the meals we needed.

Dining Out Costs – $583

Ahhh…the most embarrassing number on here!

We spent nearly $600 USD on dining out in Antigua. How did it get to be so expensive?

almuerzo rincon tipico

For one, the average meal price at a mid-range restaurant in Antigua is anywhere between 70Q to 100Q ($9 – $13 USD) which is a little higher than we are used to paying. For cheap eats, you can find places for as low as 35Q ($4.50 USD) which is pretty great but it’s not your $1 pad thai or al pastor tacos…you know? It took us quite some time to adjust and accurately convert the currency in our heads.

And second, we made a lot of friends and the main thing we do together is going out for lunch or dinner which is why we also went out so often!

pizza with friends la pasta nostra

You can most definitely do it cheaper than us – in fact, we encourage you do! If you find yourself loving Guatemalan cuisine, it’s much cheaper to eat the local food than at the ‘western’ restaurants. There are street vendors that sell pupusas or snacks which are pretty cheap. If you want a decent lunch meal, Rincon Tipico is the best value you’ll find in all of Antigua Guatemala! We went almost every day because it was close to our former coworking space, Impact Hub.

If you don’t mind splurging a bit more on dining out, there are some really cool places to check out. Here are some of our top restaurants in Antigua Guatemala:

  • Toko Baru – best cheap eats
  • Caoba Farms – best brunch spot
  • Cerveceria14 – beer garden & live music
  • Kombu Ramen Shop – authentic Japanese ramen

Make sure to watch your budget when you’re dining out in Antigua – it’s not as cheap as it may seem. We learned the hard way that it does ALL add up in the end!

And of course, make sure you try the incredible coffee that Antigua offers! You can check out the best cafes in Antigua Guatemala to see where you can the best coffee in town.

Transport Costs – $67

Let me start by saying…Antigua Guatemala is a VERY walkable city!

If you live 10-15 minutes walking distance from the city center (and don’t mind walking the cobblestone streets), you’ll never have to take any kind of transport. This is a great thing to keep in mind before booking your place and whether you enjoy walking!

antigua to lake atitlan

We spent the majority of our transport budget on Uber rides whenever we got lazy to walk. Trust me, it happens 😉 For Uber, we thought it was one of the cheapest places to take an Uber. It was about $1.50 USD per ride around the city which is very affordable (and tempting to take when you’re lazy like us lol).

If you want to go a little further out, Uber is the easiest and most convenient way. Whenever we went to Caoba Farms or Cerveceria14 – it’s much easier to just take an Uber. This is one of the ways our costs rose for transport.

We still think we did pretty good for transport costs and it’s a healthy budget for the month!

SIM Card & Pre-Paid Data Plan Costs – $26

Getting SIM cards in Guatemala isn’t as hard or as expensive as you might think.

There are 2 companies: Claro and Tigo. We recommend getting Tigo!

sim card guatemala

If you stay for a month like us, the plans are very affordable. It’s only 99Q ($13 USD) for 8GB of data and unlimited social media. When you first get the SIM card, you’ll need to pay for the SIM itself first and that’s around 50Q ($6.50 USD). In total, your first trip to get a SIM card will cost a little less than $20 USD and you’ll be set for the month.

Activities & Entertainment Costs – $65

There are countless things to do in Antigua, Guatemala! We had activities planned for almost every weekend and it felt like we hadn’t even scratched the surface.

matthew and ashley coffee fields

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Hike Acatenango Volcano
  • Roast marshmallows on Pacaya Volcano
  • Go on a coffee farm tour
  • Visit all of the church ruins
  • Buy second-hand clothes at paca (flea market)
  • See the views of the city at Cerro de la Cruz
  • Take a weekend getaway to Lake Atitlan

A lot of the activities – for example, Cerro de la Cruz are free! For any of the hikes up volcanoes or coffee tours – you’ll need to pay a tour company. For the coffee tour, we paid $30 USD! The hikes are a little more depending on which one you do – Pacaya was only $26 USD without the entrance fee. We found it hard to pay more than $50 USD for an activity which makes it a great place to get out and go on adventures!

volcano pacaya hike guatemala

Even if you plan to have a low cost of living in Antigua Guatemala, there are so many things to do – it’s hard to get bored!

Gym Membership Cost – $50

The gyms in Antigua Guatemala offer a great place to exercise on your own, join group classes or get some personal training.

A gym membership is pretty affordable. We paid $50 USD for both of us, which is only $25 USD each! Granted, it wasn’t a fancy gym – it just had a lot of machines and equipment which were somewhat new and well-maintained.

The best gym is La Fabrica Antigua – it’s everyone’s favorite place to exercise! They have friendly staff, qualified trainers and a big variety of group classes! It costs $32 USD to join La Fabrica for the unlimited monthly plan.

*Optional: Coworking Costs – $220

Coworking spaces help us get productive work done and meet like-minded people. We love signing up for coworking spaces any chance we get! The coworking spaces in Antigua Guatemala did not disappoint either.

working from impact hub

The most popular one which we tried for a month is Impact Hub. It’s the best value for money at only $115 USD for an unlimited monthly membership. However, we switched after a month there. We just had a couple of issues with the noise levels (there was a big team that took calls all day long) and a bunch of us couldn’t stand it any longer.

cowork tables el cubo center

We heard about a new coworking space opening up and we checked it out! It’s called El Cubo Center and it’s located 15 minutes drive from the city center but it is worth it. You have a beautiful office, ergonomic chairs and a space that actually wants to cultivate community! This cost a lot more – we paid $110 USD for a monthly unlimited membership. However, they seem to have increased the price since we were members in 2021 to $162.50 USD now.

Cost To Get To Antigua– $26

We like to add this because it gives you a bigger picture of what it would cost to travel there. Before we lived in Antigua, we were Lake Atitlan digital nomads for 2 months.

van shuttle antigua to lake atitlan

From Lake Atitlan to Antigua, we booked a shared shuttle which is a very popular way to get around Guatemala. It only cost us 100Q ($13 USD) each for a seat on the van including our digital nomad luggage. It’s the same costs if you want to get from Antigua to Lake Atitlan.

Was The Cost Of Living In Antigua Guatemala Cheap Or Expensive?

Our cost of living in Antigua Guatemala was more than we were expecting to pay!

It’s definitely not as cheap as other places to live the digital nomad lifestyle in Antigua Guatemala. But we believe it’s a beautiful country to visit, tour and soak up the culture for a few months. We can see it growing in popularity for digital nomads in the future!

Is the cost of living in Antigua Guatemala higher or lower than you expected? We know this is what WE spent and chose to spend our money so it’ll be different. But overall, what do you think? I’ve got some friends that like Mexico more because you get better value for money – I just think it depends on the kind of lifestyle you want to live!

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.

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 🇷🇸
