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?

Coworking Antigua Guatemala: The Best Spaces To Work From

Category Digital Nomad, Antigua Updated on January 9, 2023

Coworking Antigua Guatemala… Are there really spaces for digital nomads to get some productive work in this small, colonial town nestled amongst volcanoes?

This was one of the first questions we ask when moving to a new digital nomad destination. All digital nomads need to make sure they prioritize work even when it’s so much more fun to explore your new city. Tbh, digital nomads are some of the most hard-working people we have ever met!

We found it’s much easier to focus and get things done when you place yourself in an environment that encourages that. That’s exactly what a coworking space does for digital nomads constantly on the road.

As Latin America digital nomads, we spent about 1+ years traveling around Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia. We think it’s on the rise and one of the reasons is because of all the cool coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer.

In this blog post, we are going to share the best coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer. I’ll review the features, amenities, costs and share our personal experience working from them.

Coworking Antigua Guatemala – Is It Worth It?

Is The Coworking in Antigua Guatemala Any Good?

That’s a completely reasonable question! We weren’t sure how working remotely would work from Guatemala in general. We asked ourselves:

  • “Will the wifi be fast enough for us?”
  • “Is there a coworking space available?”
  • “Will we meet fellow digital nomads?”
  • “What’s the cafe work culture like?”

As our fellow digital nomad friends (who we met in Bali), Heyner and Taylor, were living in Antigua – we figured it had to be a decent city to be a digital nomad. But we just didn’t know anything about Antigua, Guatemala.

lounge area el cubo center

Little did we know, there were more coworking spaces in Antigua Guatemala! Since 2020, the digital nomad movement has grown in popularity because people realized it’s possible to work from literally anywhere! We think this has contributed to the growth of coworking in Antigua Guatemala.

Long story short – yes! The coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer is pretty great and comparable to the spaces we’ve worked from in Bali, Thailand, Mexico, etc.

What Makes A Good Coworking Space For Digital Nomads?

Not just ANY coworking space will do, right?

If you’re spending the money to become a member and using the space to get valuable work done – you might as well get the best space available.

But how do you know what makes a coworking space great? Here are 3 factors that we look at before signing up:

  1. Fast, reliable wifi: As digital nomads, it’s our responsibility to be in locations that have decent wifi to work not just for ourselves but for our clients, employers, employees, etc. The last thing you want is for your wifi to drop out in the middle of a Zoom call right? While a digital nomad in Latin America, you can’t expect it to be super fast (with Medellin as an exception) but it’s good enough! The wifi speeds can be anywhere from as low as 10 Mbps up to 80+ Mbps.
  2. Comfortable Workspace: We love a coworking space that has ergonomic chairs! We sit on our butts behind a screen for nearly 6-8 hours a day and it’s totally necessary (at least in our opinion). It’s not a deal-breaker for us if they don’t have ergonomic seating but it’s definitely a bonus!
  3. Vibrant Community: A good coworking space will make the effort to organize workshops and events for its members to get to know each other. A vibrant community is so important for digital nomads because we need to constantly make new friends in unfamiliar places.

Now you know what makes a coworking space awesome, here’s a list of the best coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer.

The Best Coworking Antigua Guatemala Has To Offer

Planning on becoming an Antigua digital nomad or maybe you’re a remote worker? We feel so grateful that we got to work remotely from there and make some genuine friendships! We spent 2+ months living in Antigua and we worked from both of these coworking spaces in Antigua Guatemala for a month each.

I’ll be honest…

There aren’t plenty of choices for coworking in Antigua Guatemala but the ones that already exist are nothing short of amazing!

Let’s get started!

1. El Cubo Center

El Cubo Center is a professional office and coworking space for digital nomads, remote workers and entrepreneurs. Its mission is to house members that want to create, collaborate and change the digital scene for Latin America.

laptop coworking antigua guatemala

They strive to become one of (if not the best) coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer, they have built a huge 4-level building offering:

  • shared coworking spaces
  • private offices
  • rooftop access
  • networking events
  • a cafe
  • a restaurant
  • volcano views

We didn’t know about El Cubo Center until our friends at Impact Hub started talking about a new space opening up. As we were all curious, we booked a tour to have a look around and see what they offer.

From the moment we entered the property, we were absolutely blown away by El Cubo Center!

What To Expect Working From El Cubo Center

Imagine working from a coworking space that’s got the most inspiring design and aesthetic serving delicious coffee and access to high-speed internet…

…That’s El Cubo Center for you!

You’ll be amazed by the volcano views you could have while working – it’s like nothing else we have experienced! The ergonomic chairs are comfortable and the air-conditioning makes it a comfortable space no matter what the weather is like in Antigua.

work space el cubo center

The vibe is a little more corporate than we like but it’s understandable because they also cater to business professionals that hire their private offices. We still went in with our limited clothing options as digital nomads (aka no suits for us lol) and it was more than fine!

There were also other remote workers, expats and digital nomads in more casual clothing. That actually made the space feel more comfortable for us.

The only thing is… it’s located 10-15 minutes away from the city center closer to a town called Ciudad Vieja. There are 2 options to get to El Cubo – order an Uber or take the shared shuttle they have organized to get from the city center and back.

Features & Amenities At El Cubo Center

The features and amenities are what make El Cubo Center one of the best coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer. They pack a lot of value for your membership!

Ergonomic Chairs & Seating Options

Have you been working from wooden chairs that by the end of the day, you’re feeling sore? We get that!

El Cubo Center offers the most comfortable chairs! There’s no doubt they are ergonomic and will make a comfortable place to sit for hours of focused work. The chairs are rolly ones and have an armrest for extra comfort.

desk and chair el cubo center

There are plenty of seating options from the big shared tables on the 2nd floor to the booths on the 1st floor. You won’t have trouble finding a good spot to work for the day!

Cafe On-site

Worried about not having access to good coffee? Don’t! El Cubo Center has partnered with my favorite cafe in Antigua – Artista de Cafe. It’s located on the 1st floor and they make a mean iced caramel latte or latte!

Corazonada Restaurant On The Rooftop

What about lunch? El Cubo has thought of everything!

restaurant el cubo center

There’s a shared kitchen for you to microwave any meals you brought from home BUT that’s not all. There’s a restaurant on the rooftop called Corazonada. I’m not sure if they still offer it but they have a menu del dia for 35Q ($4.60 USD) that includes a soup, main and juice which was always fantastic!

Indoor & Outdoor Coworking Options

We get it – sometimes you just want to switch up your work environment! That’s easy where you’re working from El Cubo Center.

outdoor seating el cubo center

They have 2 big shared tables that can seat up to 8+ people, lounge areas with the most beautiful couches and even outdoor picnic tables so you can enjoy the beautiful Guatemalan weather!

Community & Events

How do I describe the community at El Cubo? It’s a mix of corporate vibes with the occasional digital nomad in casual clothing. We sometimes felt a little out of place but it’s just the culture there. We never felt the pressure to dress up!

events el cubo center

All of our friends that we made at Impact Hub (including us) switched to El Cubo which meant we already had a great group of friends to have coffee or lunch with at the coworking space. We made a few more amazing friends, Becca and Brook, who were working remotely as well. We felt it was harder to connect with the locals working in the private offices.

google presentation el cubo center

We loved that they made a real effort to provide good events, workshops and networking opportunities! Since 2020, it seems that a lot of coworking spaces have stopped all events even as we are getting back to ‘normal’. El Cubo Center organized weekly meet-ups for new members to get to know others and while we were there, they also had a Google talk that we attended. El Cubo Center also has a WhatsApp chat for members to join and see what’s happening for the week!

Staff At El Cubo Center

The staff is very friendly and welcoming! It’s hard to go past without having a little chit-chat. A lot of them speak English which helps make the whole sign-up process and experience so much easier.

Clean & Well-Maintained Facilities

You can tell they focus on the attention to detail here. It’s almost too clean you feel like you’re messing things up but it’s no problem.

Free Coffee, Fruits & Water

That’s right! Every day they replenish the basket of fruits for you to enjoy a work break snack. You can also help yourself to the coffee (which honestly isn’t too great but you have Artista de Cafe when you want something better). There are also free water dispensers on every level which means you just bring a water bottle and you don’t have to worry about refilling!

Is There Fast & Strong Wifi At El Cubo Center?

The #1 digital nomad question is probably… “how’s the wifi?” It’s only right to ask when you need to work to continue traveling.

It’s not even a question at El Cubo Center! It’s the fastest wifi we have ever seen during our whole time in Guatemala from being an Antigua and Lake Atitlan digital nomad.

The wifi speed at El Cubo ranges from 65 Mbps to 100 Mbps. We had the chance to meet the owner of El Cubo and she mentioned they also have huge backup generators in case the power goes out. In other words – you’ll always be connected!

Costs & Monthly Membership at El Cubo Center

You’ve just discovered the best coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer…

…so what’s a membership at El Cubo cost?

It depends on the duration you plan to stay! At the start when they had just opened, we asked them to offer day passes because they only offered monthly memberships – it seems like they have finally done that!

Here’s the USD prices for El Cubo Coworking Antigua Guatemala:

  • Day Pass: $12.90
  • 5 Days Per Month: $57.50
  • 10 Days Per Month: $84
  • 1 Month Unlimited: $162.50

Is this expensive or cheap for a coworking space? We think for all that El Cubo Center offers, it’s a reasonable price. It’s definitely the most expensive option – but you get to enjoy the amazing features, amenities and community they offer. The monthly unlimited is the best option but if you only want to go a couple of times a week – the day pass is a great option too!

It’s worth mentioning that El Cubo has a number of different membership options including a “work & workout” plan that gives you access to their new gym.

Opening Hours

Monday-Friday: 7am-7pm; Saturday-Sunday: 8am-5pm

We’ve been digital nomads since 2018 and we have been to our fair share of coworking spaces around the world. A lot of them offer 24/7 access such as the Playa del Carmen coworking spaces and/or while we were coliving at Bali Bustle.

volcano view el cubo center

We don’t mind not having 24/7 access and it’s great that El Cubo opens so early! Matthew and I like to start working around 8am giving us a great cushion.

How To Book Coworking At El Cubo Center

The best way to book is by messaging them on WhatsApp at +51 and letting them take it from there! They might offer for you to do a tour which is great so you can see it before paying. We always do a test day or a tour of the place to see if we like it. It’s a big commitment for a month and you want to make sure you love it so don’t book online in advance!

el cubo center exterior

We paid with our Wise debit card which allows us to get the best exchange rate. You can also pay cash, it’s up to you!

REVIEW – Is It The Best Coworking Antigua Guatemala Has To Offer?

Yes, it is – at least in our experience.

We didn’t really have many complaints about working from El Cubo Center. The only one I can think of was the shuttle to and from Antigua city center – which I believe they offer now! To be honest, our 2 suggestions: the day pass and the shuttle have both been implemented which shows how committed they are to your experience.

matthew and ashley el cubo center

We loved working from El Cubo Center and if we had to do it all over again – we would choose them over all the other coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer!

2. Impact Hub

Impact Hub is the most well-known coworking in Antigua Guatemala!

They have been around for a couple of years now and they have even moved locations around the city. Impact Hub offers a great space where you can focus, get work done and maybe even make some fellow digital nomad friends. We know we did!

impact hub antigua guatemala

When you book a coworking membership with Impact Hub, you get:

  • shared coworking space
  • free coffee and water
  • like-minded people
  • affordable prices
  • sunny patio

We spent a month working from Impact Hub before switching to El Cubo. While it was a pretty decent experience, there were just some things that could have been improved.

What To Expect Working From Impact Hub

If you choose to work from Impact Hub, you’ll enjoy a beautiful outdoor space with comfortable seating and strong wifi.

The vibes at Impact Hub are more low-key and casual. You won’t catch anyone in suits which is something we love! The people are very friendly and welcoming – we met a majority of our friends at Impact Hub.

It’s the most central location for any of the coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer. We walked every day from our Airbnb, it was only 15 minutes through the cobblestone streets. This is probably why a lot of people still opt for Impact Hub which is something you should consider.

Features & Amenities At Impact Hub

After spending a month working from Impact Hub, we’re going to share the features and amenities that they offer you as a digital nomad or remote worker.

Ergonomic Chairs & Seating Options

Impact Hub has a couple of great 2-person desks which was perfect for Matthew to share one and spread out our digital nomad setup lol (iykyk).

impact hub desks

The chairs are pretty comfortable! I guess the best way to explain them is that they are those old-school black office chairs that roll around. It’s not the fanciest chair but it works well!

Cafe On-site

As soon as you enter Impact Hub, you’ll immediately see the cafe. It’s called Coffea and they do a pretty decent cappuccino but it’s just a little more than what you’d pay at other cafes.

Wachuma Restaurant In The Same Compound

Wachuma is a vegan restaurant that’s right next to the coworking space. They offer these amazing vegan bowls for only 35Q ($4.60 USD) which is a steal for all the protein and veggies packed into them!

You can sit at the restaurant if you want or they can also bring the food over to your desk! There’s a great sunny patio with a huge old plane in the middle which makes for a cool lunch backdrop.

Indoor & Outdoor Coworking Options

There are no indoor options if you work at Impact Hub! We have had to endure the hot summer heat and the rainy afternoons which made for an interesting work session. They had to move the desk closer to the walkway so our laptops wouldn’t get splashed with the rain.

rainy weather impact hub

As it’s only an outdoor coworking space, this means you won’t get a temperature-controlled room which may or may not bother you. It worked just fine for us!

Community & Events

Unfortunately, there are NO events if you cowork from Impact Hub.

We were really disappointed because this is one of the main reasons we join a coworking space. From their Instagram, I could see they probably used to do events but have since stopped.

friends antigua guatemala

While we did make a majority of our friends there, it was out of our own volition and effort.

Staff At Impact Hub

They are very friendly and welcoming! You might need to speak some basic Spanish to get by but there’s also Google Translate to the rescue if you need it.

Clean & Well-Maintained Facilities

The staff at Impact Hub do a great job at making the workspace really comfortable. The bathrooms are always clean!

Free Coffee & Water

When you have a membership, you get free coffee from the filter and free water from the dispenser. This is a great bonus for any coworking space to offer!

Is There Fast & Strong Wifi At Impact Hub Antigua?

Yes, there is! Impact Hub has decent wifi for any kind of work you do online.

working from impact hub

We got internet speeds of 30 Mbps to 60 Mbps at Impact Hub. While we working there for a month, we never had any interruptions to our wifi connection.

It’s Noisy 🙁

I wasn’t really sure if I should include this but we just want to share our true experiences whether that’s good or bad.

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at Impact Hub mainly because of how noisy it was! There was a company at the back taking a couple of desks and they would have meetings on the speaker (as in we could hear the entire meeting including the response/feedback). They never kept their voices down and it gets hard to concentrate.

I’m not sure what the affiliation they had with Impact Hub but the staff never asked them to turn the volume down. It was frustrating, to say the least, and the main reason we plus our 2 friends moved to El Cubo Center.

Costs & Monthly Membership at Impact Hub

This is the most affordable coworking space Antigua Guatemala has to offer. Impact Hub offers more flexibility when it comes to membership options.

Here’s the USD prices for Impact Hub Coworking Antigua Guatemala:

  • Day Pass: $8
  • Weekly Pass: $45
  • 1 Month Unlimited: $115

This is the most cost-effective option for coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer! If you want to save some money then Impact Hub is still a great option (despite the noisy meetings you might hear). As we tried coworking spaces in Bali, Thailand, Mexico and more – we think the monthly unlimited membership is a great deal and competitively priced.

Opening Hours

Monday-Friday: 8am-6pm; Saturday: 9am-5pm

We like to start work pretty early then end early! The 8am opening time at Impact Hub is pretty great and I believe you can also come a little earlier (if the door is slightly open or something like that). They aren’t open on Sundays and have limited hours on Saturday.

How To Book Coworking At Impact Hub

We highly recommend just walking in! This way, you can see the space with your own eyes and decide if it’s a fit for you. If you sign up, simply tell the staff you want to do a month and you can pay by cash or card. We always use our Revolut or Wise card for these transactions to get the best rates!

REVIEW – Is Impact Hub A Good Coworking Space in Antigua Guatemala?

We’re going for an honest hour okay…

…We’d say yes it’s a great coworking space in Antigua Guatemala. However, some improvements can be made – like the noise levels for one and the lack of or absent digital nomad community that’s being cultivated.

If you want to save money but still work at a coworking space without leaving the city, Impact Hub is still a great option!

Why We Didn’t Include Selina Cowork…

If you know Matt and me by now, you’d know that we (strongly) dislike Selina! Why?

It’s simple –

On the outside…they are trying to disguise themselves as a coliving and coworking space for digital nomads.

In reality…it’s just a hostel with more transient guests that are backpacking for a short period of time who probably don’t work online and just want to party most days. (That’s NOT close to the digital nomad lifestyle in any way!!)

matthew at selina cowork

The coworking in Selina reflects this! We did a day pass to try and give it a second chance but alas it disappointed us again.

selina cowork

This might be biased so keep that in mind! A day pass for only the coworking space costs 60Q ($8 USD). The staff seemed a little preoccupied with checking people in and the hostel people were trying to get their yoga class going – a little chaotic but we finally managed to receive the wifi codes and proceeded to the space.

Story Time: Once we set up for the day, a man comes and sits next to me. He isn’t wearing a shirt, he’s barefoot and it looks like he’s just woken up. While we don’t expect much when people work in a coworking space (we love a t-shirt and shorts combo) but to show up in your boxers?! Maybe this gives you a better picture of what it’s like to cowork from there (let alone ‘colive’).

meeting room selina cowork

It’s fine, whatever and we ignore it! We proceed to work and it begins to rain – the roof is just some flimsy thing. If it rains even just a little bit hard – we can barely hear each other talk. It was SOOO noisy!

Anyway, I digress. You get why we didn’t include Selina as one of the best coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer.

Coworking Not Your Thing? Work From These 3 Cafes Instead.

So you don’t like coworking spaces huh…

…We got you! I also love mixing my work environment up with cafes here and there. You get a good cup of coffee and the buzzing cafe atmosphere makes it a cool and different work experience. You can count on Antigua, one of the best cities for a work and cafe culture.

Here are the best cafes in Antigua Guatemala to work from:

1. Artista de Cafe

This is my favorite one ever! If you like iced coffee drinks – you have to try the iced caramel lattes. From the moment you enter, you’ll be inspired by the beautiful decor and aesthetic. The wifi is fast and there’s enough plugs for some people!

Make sure you head there early because it’s very popular and gets very busy!

2. La Vid Coffee Roasters

The best coffee shop in Antigua Guatemala is La Vid Coffee Roasters. The barista skills, the coffee beans and the machines all contribute to the most delicious cup of coffee you’ll have!

la vid work space

If you want to work from La Vid, they have a huge table in the middle where you can set up, or in the back, there are 3 seats which are nice to work from as well.

3. Cafe Boheme

Want a calm, breezy and relaxing place to work? Try Cafe Boheme!

Go up the stairs and you’ll find their lovely terrace. There are several places to plug your laptop which means they are no strangers to digital nomads.

Coworking Antigua Guatemala – Is It Worth It?

We love coworking and we’ll say yes it’s absolutely worth it!

If you decide to cowork from El Cubo, it’s hard to beat those volcano views. I mean who cares about a corner office when you’ve got that! It’s a little pricey but we had some of our most productive work done there and met some great people!

Impact Hub is the most affordable option and it’s conveniently located in the city center. You can walk to and from your home easily.

The list of coworking Antigua Guatemala has to offer might be small but both of these spaces pack a punch in value and offer digital nomads a stable place to work while living in Antigua.

Cost Of Living In Antigua Guatemala: Is It Cheap Or Expensive?

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 🇷🇸
