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?

What NOT To Add To Your Mexico Packing List
Mexico Packing List – Frequently Asked Questions
A quick list of things to add to your Mexico packing list:

The Only Mexico Packing List You’ll Need

1. Passport

Obviously, you can’t travel without your passport. Whenever we travel, it’s the last thing I check before we leave the house and it always gives me peace of mind while on our way to the airport.

usa passport with hand

Mexico usually gives most visitors a 180 days visa on arrival for most countries.

2. Fanny Pack

Trust me when I tell you this has been a game-changer for my airport travels. Matthew was against me getting a fanny pack but alas I wore him out. He now sees the benefits of me owning a fanny pack.

patagonia black fanny pack

In my fanny pack, you’ll find:

  • Passports (both mine and Matthew’s)
  • Boarding passes
  • Lip balm
  • USB drive with important documents in case
  • Airpods

YES – all of that! I wear it across my chest along with my backpack to go through the airport and every single thing is EASILY accessible. No fussing around with my backpack ever again!

3. Nordace Sienna Backpack

My favorite digital nomad backpack is the Nordace Sienna Backpack. I personally use this and only this backpack because the color is so cute, the pockets are plenty and it’s just a thoughtful design for every traveler.

nordace sienna backpack

There is a secret pocket for passports, emergency money or anything important. You can slip it onto a carry-on suitcase which makes traveling easier. There’s no reason NOT to get this backpack.

4. MOFT Portable Laptop Stand

If you’re a digital nomad, remote worker or maybe just a workaholic and need to bring your laptop with you to Mexico – the MOFT invisible laptop stand is the best. PERIOD.

moft laptop stand

Matthew and I are loyal MOFT fans because we love all their products and innovations. I’ve got their MOFT carry case, phone stand and laptop stand.

5. Turkish Beach Towel / Microfiber Towel

Both the Turkish towel and the microfiber towel work really well as a lightweight alternative to your normal towels. This makes it a must-have item!

sand free turkish beach towel

The towel won’t take up much space in your beach bag and it’ll do the job of drying you up and shaking off sand just as well if not better.

6. GoPro Hero 9

Making memories is one thing. Capturing those memories is another. It’s very important to me that we can look back one day when we’re old and see those photos or videos from our travels.

gopro hero 9

Our camera of choice is the GoPro Hero 9.

Why?

It’s the most versatile camera for ALL activities. Especially water activities like swimming in cenotes, snorkeling around Cozumel or just capturing the small moments like eating your first Mexican taco (in Mexico).

If you’re like us – you’ll want to add a GoPro Hero 9 to your Mexico packing list too.

7. Memory Card

The worst thing that can happen when you’re capturing those memories is when the text pops up that your memory disk is FULL. Ahhh! Then you’re left with memories from only the start of the trip. This has happened to us and it’s not great.

Usually, tech stuff costs more overseas than in the US so it’s good to buy before you leave for Mexico. It’s also just hard to find and who wants to do that while you’re tripping around Mexico, right?

samsung 128gb memory card

We use this Samsung MicroSD card and we recommend getting at least 128 GB if you want to also film videos of the trip. We chose this because of the value for money at less than $20 for 128gb – it’s a steal. This gives you enough memory to not worry about your storage at all plus it’s lightweight enough for you to easily add to your Mexico packing list.

8. Hard Drive

Want to create content on your Mexico trip?

Your safest bet is to bring a hard drive with you. This way you can easily transfer and safely store all those precious videos and photos.

2T hard drive

We recently bought this Samsung 2T Hard Drive and we are shocked at how lightweight it was. As digital nomads or full-time travelers, weight always plays a big role for us. The other popular hard drive that you see is the one with an orange frame. Either one will do the job!

9. Day Pack

You might ask…what’s a day pack?

g4free lightweight day backpack

A day pack is usually a foldable, lightweight pack designed for day trips or activities. Some people use tote bags, I’d say this is a safer, more comfortable alternative.

10. Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Are you hitting the cenotes or lagoons as part of your Mexico itinerary?

Most of these places have already banned normal sunscreen because they are trying to protect their reefs. So what do you do to protect yourself from the sun?

reef safe sunscreen

Reef-safe sunscreen! Yes, it’s a thing. I just discovered this and I’m so happy that there’s a way to protect our skin from the sun and not damage the reefs wherever we go. A must-have on your Mexico packing list.

11. Sunglasses

Are you really going to Mexico if you don’t add sunglasses to your Mexico packing list?! Everyone needs a good pair of sunglasses that look great but more importantly protect your eyes.

rayban frank legends sunglasses

Matthew recently got me these RayBans for my birthday which I’ve been eyeing for a while. While Matthew gets a pretty simple pair as long as they have good UV protection.

12. Hat

Another great protector from the sun and a must-have on your Mexico packing list is a hat. Any hat of your choice that makes you feel comfortable – for me that’s a bucket hat. I know I know. Matt hates it.

beige bucket hat

You can choose your hats depending on the coverage you’d like or solely based on the style you’re after.

13. Packing Cubes

Strong, durable packing cubes are a game-changer for any kind of travel – vacation, digital nomad, or longer time-off/sabbatical. We can’t imagine traveling without them now!

g4free travel packing cubes

We’ve had these G4Free 6pc Packing Cubes since 2019 and they are still holding up so well! If I were to buy again, I’d only buy these ones because you get 6-in-1 cubes, very durable and the zippers work well (important if you want it to last).

If you like to keep your things organized, neat and compact – then you need to add packing cubes to the Mexico packing list now. We even use the packing cubes to store our clothes in the closet – things don’t get out of place and they stay organized throughout the entire trip.

14. Mosquito Repellent Wristbands

Mosquitoes are aplenty in Mexico. These mosquito repellant wristbands will keep the mozzies away and they are great (less annoying) alternatives for a mosquito repellent.

mosquito repellant wristbands

If you have kids – this is a great option because you can just put it on them and not have to worry about reapplying it again.

15. Kindle Paperwhite

Looking to do some sun-bed lounging on a beach? A kindle could become your next best friend and an essential add to your Mexico packing list if you love to read. Matthew recently got this for his birthday and he loves it!

kindle paperweight 32gb

We recommend the Kindle Paperwhite 8GB (ad-supported) so there isn’t too much glare on your screen while reading. Bringing a kindle rather than multiple books can save you a lot of weight in your carry-on or checked bag.

16. Aluminum Water Bottle (Hydroflask or Yeti/LifeStraw)

Here’s the truth:

Mexico is hot. Especially in the Riviera Maya area (Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cancun). If being able to drink cold water is important to you (like it is to me) – you will want to get a Hydroflask or a YETI water bottle. They will leave your drink cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for even longer.

hydroflask aluminum water bottle

You might be wondering…

Is the water safe to drink in Mexico? No – not from the tap. A LifeStraw could be the perfect solution for you if you don’t want to be bothered about buying water all the time.

17. Water Shoes

Look, I get it. These water shoes look absolutely ridiculous!

I’m not disagreeing with that at all. But did I wish I had them while swimming in cenotes?

OH YES.

water shoes for swimming

They might not look the best but they certainly protect your feet from super hot sand, coarse reefs, and rough limestones from cenotes. Get these semi-cute water shoes here.

18. VPN (Virtual Private Network)

If you’re traveling to Mexico (or anywhere really) and connecting to so many different wifi networks – you’re putting yourself and your data at risk. And you might think ‘Oh that happens only at dodgy places’ but it happens all the time at restaurants, cafes, hotels, airports or Airbnbs.

We had this happen to us in Europe and we have never traveled without a VPN again. Matthew loves this stuff so he researched for a few weeks to see which one we should get.

nordvpn online security

We trust NordVPN and find it’s very affordable for every traveler. Simply turn on the VPN and you’ll be secure from cybersecurity hacks from then on!

19. Beach Bag

The perfect beach accessory is a cute beach bag where you can store all you need for a relaxing or fun-filled day by the ocean.

straw beach bag

I tend to use a bigger bag for beach days because you can hold your towel, sunscreen, book/Kindle or any other item that would make it a successful beach day.

20. Printouts of Important Documents

This might just be me but I like to have photocopies of important documents wherever we go. If you lose your passport, your ID card or any important documents – at least you have a photocopy for proof. I find this is always better than nothing!

21. Portable Charger

I can’t stress enough how important it is to add a portable charger to your Mexico packing list. Heck – any packing list really! This is another way we ensure we stay safe in whatever country we are in.

You don’t want your battery to die if you’re stuck in a random spot in Mexico right? That would be my worst nightmare.

That’s why…

Matthew and I searched the Amazon world for the best portable charger out there. After many tabs opened and listings read – we found one!

anker 20000 portable charger

We chose the Anker PowerCore 20000 Portable Charger because it can fully charge 2 phones and 1 iPad with a single charge. We rarely worry about our battery percentage and it’s saved us on multiple occasions already.

22. Bathing Suit

Going to Mexico and not having a bathing suit on your Mexico packing list? I don’t believe it!

With such clear waters and pristine beaches – you never know when you’re going to want to have a dip in the water.

black one piece bathing suit

Always pack a bathing suit even if you don’t plan on swimming because you never know what adventures you’ll have! These swimsuits are lightweight anyway.

23. Waterproof Dry Bags + Phone Case

Dry bags are really handy if you want to do some water activities. For example, a sailing trip, a snorkeling excursion and especially a scuba-dive.

earth pak waterproof dry bag

There are tons of options available, but this Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag also comes with a waterproof phone case already. A great addition because you can still safely bring your phone and take photos without worrying about it getting wet.

Either way – add a waterproof dry pack and phone case to your Mexico packing list if you plan to do a lot of water activities and keep your electronics safe.

24. Airpod Pros

I don’t go anywhere without my Airpods Pros. I love listening to music whenever I’m traveling and Airpods give you that WITHOUT the annoying wires getting wrapped up everywhere.

apple airpod pros

If there’s anything you don’t want to deal with while trying to get important documents together, transiting here and there or simply a not-so-ideal seatmate – Airpods could be a lifesaver for you.

What NOT To Add To Your Mexico Packing List

  1. Don’t take large amounts of cash. We usually pay by card (which is available in most towns around Mexico) until we can ensure we get money out safely from an ATM. Even then – we only withdraw what we REALLY need. An ATM we trust that can be found everywhere in Mexico is BBVA.
  2. Don’t take heavy books. I’m telling you – the Kindle is a lifesaver! You don’t want to pack your bag full of books and not have any space for souvenirs right?
  3. Don’t bring expensive jewelry. I left my real wedding rings at home because I just don’t want to tempt or worry about my jewelry. If you cannot easily replace it on travel insurance – don’t take it.

Mexico Packing List – Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to go to Mexico?

The majority of tourist destinations in Mexico are safe like Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Puerto Vallarta. We spent 6 months in Mexico and we felt very safe.

Of course – everyone has different experiences, this was ours. We were very aware of our surroundings and took all the necessary precautions to avoid any bad situations.

Should I get travel insurance?

For us – the answer is always yes. We use SafetyWing because it’s built for digital nomads and very affordable at only $40 per month.

When’s the best time to visit Mexico?

We love visiting Mexico during the shoulder months (mid-April – May; August – September) because you get good deals and the weather isn’t so bad (with a few days of rain).

The popular tourist months are December, January and February which doubles the price of accommodation. Read this if you want to see when the best time to visit Mexico is for yourself.

Can I use US dollars in Mexico?

It depends. While we were traveling the Riviera Maya, some places accepted US dollars and some didn’t. If you pay in US dollars – you always get a horrible exchange rate so we never did this. However, it’s definitely a convenient option.

How long is the tourist visa in Mexico?

A lot of countries can simply enter with the FMM card which usually gets you 180 days. This all depends on the officer you get – he/she ultimately decides how many days.

A quick list of things to add to your Mexico packing list:

  1. Passport

  4. MOFT

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 🇷🇸
