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?

A digital nomad vpn is esssential.

Why?

The nomadic lifestyle means connecting to tons of different wifi networks in:

  • Cafes
  • Coworking Spaces
  • Public wifi networks
  • Airbnbs

There’s no way to tell how secure those networks really are and who has access to them. If you want to be protected online, you need to take matters into your own hands.

Thankfully it’s easy to do with the right digital nomad VPN.

After tons of research and trials, there is one digital nomad VPN that consistently stands above them all.

In this blog I have outlined the #1 best VPN for digital, plus I’ve also included 3 other VPNs that I can confidently recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Digital Nomad VPN?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN masks your IP address online so that your online activities are basically untraceable.

But quality VPNs do a lot more than just that…

VPNs work by establishing a secure connection between your device and the internet. All of your data is then funneled into an encrypted tunnel that only you have access to you.

Think of it like an invisibility shield around your online activity.

The VPN makes your location invisible and protects you from any external attacks. VPNs level up your online security with a click of a button.

What Makes A Good Digital Nomad VPN?

There are tons of VPN providers out there.

But not all VPNs are made the same.

VPNs can dramatically affect the speed of your internet. And cheap

VPNs may not provide much security at all.

Here are some criteria that we use to evaluate the a good digital nomad VPN:

High Level Of Online Security And Protection

Online security and protection should be your biggest focus.

That’s the main reason for getting a VPN in the first place.

Because your online privacy is so important, you should only get a VPN from a trusted company. A good VPN encrypts your entire connection so even if the wifi you are connected to has weak security, your data is safe.

But it doesn’t end there…

Your VPN should also:

  • Block malicious websites
  • Prevent malware
  • Disable trackers
  • Provide private internet access

Even if you take a wrong turn online, your VPN will protect you.

Fast Connection Speeds

Slow internet is the bane of all digital nomad existence.

Regardless of what VPN you use, your internet will slow down a bit. But good VPN services don’t slow your internet speeds by much.

vpn locations

The main VPN factors that affect browsing speeds are:

  • The internet speed
  • The quality of the encryption
  • Your distance to the VPN server
  • VPN server load

One of the biggest things you should look at is the number of VPN servers the company has worldwide. The more servers, the faster your internet connection should be regardless of where you are.

Even in more remote foreign countries, your VPN provider should have a close server location.

Ease Of Use

A click of a button is all it should take.

Good VPN providers make their service easy to use, whether on your phone or laptop.

digital nomad vpn quick connect

If you are constantly turning your VPN on and off, you don’t want to have to go through a whole process every single time.

The best VPN for digital nomads is accessible with just one button.

Available On All Devices

Use a banking app on your phone?

You need your VPN to be able to protect yourself. Not all VPNs provide protection for all devices.

vpn devices

Think about the devices you have:

  • Laptop
  • Tablets
  • Phones
  • Kindle
  • Streaming devices

You need to ensure that the VPN you choose works on each device.

Good Price

VPNs don’t need to be expensive.

Just because a VPN is expensive doesn’t mean they are good either. You must be careful to choose a VPN that offers the services you need while still providing good value for money.

What about free VPNs?

Yes, there are free VPNs around. Usually, these are very basic and have caps on how much you can use them. Not to mention, free VPNs are often very slow.

There are plenty of good VPN s from trusted companies that won’t break the bank.

In most cases the longer you buy a VPN, the better the price. You can easily get a good VPN for less than $5 per month on the right plan!

#1 Best Digital Nomad VPN

What’s the best digital nomad VPN?

After trialling a bunch of VPNs and doing tons of research, there is one VPN that sits above them all.

The best digital nomad VPN is NordVPN.

NordVPN

NordVPN is by far the best VPN for digital nomads.

nordvpn best digital nomad vpn

Here’s why:

NordVPN offers more than 5300+ VPN servers located in 60+ countries. It has a massive network of servers which means you are always close to a server and get faster connections.

Value your privacy?

NordVPN has a strict verified No Log policy. They don’t store any of your online data guaranteeing the highest level of privacy you can get from a VPN service.

While other VPNs make the same claims, NordVPN has had its policies independently tested and verified.

nordvpn features

Nord VPNs’ military-grade encryption and dedicated IP addresses offer completely secure access regardless of your wifi connection. Its one of the only VPN services to offer dedicated IP addresses to each connection

The unparalleled security combined with real animous browsing means an uninterrupted service you can depend on.

But what about the NordVPN speeds…

NordVPN offers some of the faster download and streaming speeds you can get.

Independent testing from Technadu showed that NordVPN is the fastest VPN available.

fastest vpn for digital nomads

Their download speeds absolutely crushed the competition. We have personally found that NordVPN has sped up our internet connections in some cases. This could be because NordVPN overcomes internet service provider throttling – also unique to their service.

That means even if your Airbnb host buys a cheap wifi package, NordVPN may give you access to faster speeds.

Cool right?

Here’s a complete list of top VPN features that NordVPN offers:

  • Extremely fast VPN speeds
  • Complete privacy with a strict no-log policy
  • Blocks malware and virusea
  • Up to 6 simultaneous connections from any devices
  • Works on Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, Amazon Firestick and more
  • Dedicated IP address for safe online banking and internet activity
  • Works for all online content streaming platforms
  • 24/7 customer support through live chat or email
  • Over 5300+ VPN servers located across 60+ countries

nordvpn user interface

While support is often an afterthought for premium VPN providers, NordVPN offers 24/7 customer service. You can contact them by live chat or email whenever you have a question and they’ll be available to help you.

All NordVPN Plans include up to 6 simultaneous connections. That means you can have 6 different devices connected at the same time!

One plan with NordVPN will suit you and your friends.

NordVPN Pricing

How much does NordVPN cost?

NordVPN has a range of pricing plans you can choose from:

  • 1-Month Plan – $11.99/month
  • 1-Year Plan – $4.99/month
  • 2-Year Plan – $3.99/month

nordvpn pricing

We chose the 2-year plan because you save a ton of money. Comparatively, NordVPN’s pricing is highly competitive.

Lots of VPN services don’t even offer a 2-year plan to charge higher prices. This makes NordVPN one of the most cost-effective premium VPNs you can get.

NordVPN doesn’t offer a free trial but does come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

NordVPN Works For These Streaming Services:

Get access to over 400+ streaming services including Netflix, HULU, HBO Max, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, BBC iPlayer, YouTube and more.

nordvpn streaming services and features

Use NordVPN On These Devices:

Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Android TV, Linux, Chrome and Firefox (extensions for browsers), Fire Stick, Kindle Fire, Chromecast, Android TV, Nintendo Switch and more. You can configure NordVPN to work on some routers.

Digital nomad travels come with a lot of uncertainty.

NordVPN makes it easy to protect yourself online while giving you many other benefits you can take advantage of.

3x Other Digital Nomad VPNs You Could Consider

Are there any other VPNs that you could use as a digital nomad?

Short answer – Yes.

There are a few other digital nomad VPNs that work well while traveling.

While NordVPN offers the best overall performance, the following 3 VPN services are also good options.

1. Express VPN

ExpressVPN is another trusted choice for digital nomad VPNs.

They are among the fastest providers available and offer great VPN features for digital nomads.

expressvpn for digital nomads

ExpressVPN also has a strong network of servers. They have 160 central server locations across 94 countries. This provides all the infrastructure you need to get high-speed VPN connections anywhere in the world.

The features for ExpressVPN include:

  • 24/7 customer support by live chat
  • 160 fast servers across 94 countries
  • Works with most streaming services
  • Best-in-class security and encryption
  • No activity logs and no connection logs
  • 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Easy to use applications on all devices

express vpn user steps

One of the biggest benefits of ExpressVPN is privacy.

ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, which means that they operate outside of the jurisdiction of the 5/9/14-Eyes Alliance. Even if a government agency tries to intervene, your data is protected with ExpressVPN.

It’s about as good as anonymous browsing gets in today’s modern world.

ExpressVPN Pricing

ExpressVPN has shorter pricing plans you can choose from:

  • 1-Month Plan – $12.95/month
  • 6-Month Plan – $9.99/month
  • 1-Year Plan – $8.32/month

expressvpn pricing

ExpressVPN offers a 7 day free trial on mobile devices and a 30-day money-back guarantee for every purchase.

ExpressVPN Works For These Streaming Services:

Get access to over 400+ streaming services including Netflix, HULU, HBO Max, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, BBC iPlayer, YouTube and more.

Use ExpressVPN On These Devices:

Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Android TV, Linux, Chrome and Firefox (extensions), Fire Stick, Kindle Fire, Chromecast, Android TV, Nintendo Switch and more. You can configure ExpressVPN to work on some routers.

expressvpn apps

If you are looking for a premium VPN service that rivals NordVPN, Express VPN is about as close as you get.

They give you an extremely high layer of protection while providing fast speeds for most locations.

2. CyberGhost VPN

CyberGhost is a popular digital nomad VPN.

They are one of the most cost-effective premium VPN services you can get.

cyberghost vpn

CyberGhost has the most VPN servers of any VPN available, with over 7700+ worldwide. It also offers protection for up to 7 devices simultaneously with one subscription.

Although not the fastest, CyberGhost has reliable connection speeds that will suit most digital nomads. They have also built a friendly user interface across each supported device.

cyberghost vpn user interface

The key features include for CyberGhost:

  • Large and well-distributed 7700+ server network
  • Allows up to 7 simultaneous connections
  • Good VPN speed test scores
  • Excellent value for money
  • Premium security and encryption
  • 24/7 live chat

When it comes to security, CyberGhost encrypts user traffic using military-grade AES-256 encryption. Like the other VPNs, they don’t keep user logs and use no-memory servers, so you are browsing completely anonymously.

CyberGhost VPN Pricing

CyberGhost offers a very competitive range of pricing plans:

  • 1-Month Plan – $12.99/month
  • 1-Year Plan – $4.29/month
  • 2-Year Plan – $3.25/month

cyberghost vpn supported devices

CyberGhost is undoubtedly a good value VPN for digital nomads – especially if you pick up their 3-year plan.

3. SurfShark VPN

SurfShark isn’t just a cool name.

They are a reliable VPN service and each of their plans comes with a bunch of added features.

surfshark vpn

What SurfShark is really focused on is its advanced security features.

Their entire network offers excellent protection and includes ad-blocking, malware blocking, P2P support and a fake GPS feature. It’s true that NordVPN offers the same features, but Surfshare is cheaper.

Because of the advanced security features, you’ll be almost untraceable online. Surfshark is noticeably one of the best VPNs for streaming because the service doesn’t recognize that you’re using a VPN.

A big bonus for many people.

The best Surfshark features are:

  • 3200+ VPN servers located across 65 countries
  • Huge range of security features
  • Strong encryption and protection
  • 24/7 customer service
  • Unlimited amount of connected devices

Unlike every other VPN service, Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections.

unlimited connections

Their service also comes with Bypasser technology which allows you to have certain apps bypass the VPN when you need to.

The user experience that Surfshark offers is also really good.

So with all of these features, why doesn’t rank number 1?

One word: Performance.

While the standard features are similar to NordVPN, they aren’t at the same level. NordVPN offers faster speeds and better quality (and more) servers. You could argue that NordVPN has better security features as well.

But there is no doubt that Surfsharks pricing is the best on the list.

Surfshark VPN Pricing

Surfshark VPN pricing is:

  • 1-Month Plan – $12.95/month
  • 1-Year Plan – $3.99/month
  • 2-Year Plan – $2.49/month

surfshark vpn pricing

Surfshark comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Surfshark VPN Works For These Streaming Services:

Get access to tons of streaming services including Netflix, HULU, HBO Max, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Kodi and more.

Use Surfshark VPN On These Devices:

Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Android TV, Linux, Chrome and Firefox (browser extensions), Fire Stick, Kindle Fire, Chromecast, Android TV and more.

surfshark applications

Surfshark is a great digital nomad VPN because of how many features you get and how little it costs. The performance it provides is really solid and is comparable to any premium VPN.

But it just doesn’t reach the heights of NordVPN.

4x Benefits Of A Digital Nomad VPN For Travel

What are the main reasons we use a VPN?

There are the four biggest benefits of a VPN:

1. Online Banking While Overseas

Some banks don’t allow access outside of your home country.

VPNs solve this problem quickly.

You can choose your home city within your country using the VPN service. This should solve any online banking issues you can encounter.

It also protects your bank details while accessing online banking.

Looking for a good banking option as a digital nomad? Check out the 9 best banks for digital nomads.

2. Find Cheaper Flights

Does location affect the price you pay for flights?

Short answer – Yes, it can.

Some airlines build different websites for different regions to charge higher prices.

For example, Avianca is a budget airline based in Colombia. They provide lots of flights from Medellin and Bogata to different destinations in Europe.

Avianca’s main website is – https://www.avianca.com.

But if you access their website while in Europe, you will be redirected to https://www.avianca.com/eu.

The same ticket on the Europe website could cost you as much as 30% more! In this case, the savings you can get are cheaper than most VPNs’ cost for 2 years!

How do you get cheaper flights with a VPN? Try changing your VPN location to:

  • A developing country
  • The country you are traveling to
  • Airline’s home country

It takes a bit of research, but these 3 factors can affect the end ticket price you pay.

3. Unlock Favorite Streaming Services From All Locations

Steaming services are location-blocking gurus.

The truth is, for legal reasons they have to be careful who has access to their content.

Depending on where you are located will change the content you have access to. And many streaming services like Hulu and Disney+ aren’t available in lots countries.

VPNs allow you to choose any country you want, so you can quickly get access to your favorite streaming service.

Note: Streaming services are good at detecting VPNs.

netflix detecting vpn

You need to use a high-quality VPN like NordVPN or ExpressVPN that guarantees you get access to all streaming services.

Cheap VPNs are usually easily detected by steaming services.

4. Keep Your Details and Sensitive Information Secure

For us, this is the most important.

Internet security is not taken seriously enough by most digital nomads.

You never know who is sitting beside you and what they are doing the same public network you are using to connect to the internet.

In Bali, we were once inside a coworking space where the owner had just kicked someone out because they were trying to hack the network.

And that’s a coworking space in one of the top digital nomad cities in the world!

Imagine what goes on in your average coffee shop or public area.

Wrapping It Up

As a digital nomad, you should use a VPN.

It will protect you online and ensure that you always have a high level of security.

The best digital nomad VPN is NordVPN. They offer excellent encryption to protect your online activity while still providing fast speeds. They also have 5300+ VPN servers worldwide so it doesn’t matter what country you are in…

You’ll always have access to a close VPN server.

If you’re ready to get started, I recommend getting the NordVPN 2 year plan because it offers the best value for money. If you want to test it out, try their 1-month plan and see how you go.

Remember, you always have that 30-day money-back guarantee!

As digital nomads, we connect to lots of different wifi networks. Getting a VPN is a no-brainer for what works out to be a few bucks a month.

Protect your online activity and stay safe as you travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best VPN for travel is NordVPN. They offer over 5300+ VPN servers in 60 countries and have military-grade encryption. With NordVPN it doesn’t matter where you travel in the world because you’ll always have access to fast VPN servers and excellent security for protection.

…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!

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 🇷🇸
