  • Lisbon is the next remote work hub of Europe. There’s many reasons why I think that:
    1) it already has somewhat of a startup/tech scene because of the annual Web Summit conference
    2) which means internet is fast, and there’s lots of meetups and it’s easy to make friends
    3) it’s relatively affordable for foreigners compared to Spain and the rest of Europe
    4) Portuguese people are super friendly, a lot more friendly than in the rest of the Mediterranean and Europe
    5) Lisbon is ideal to go on day/w

  • Came to CDMX from NYC. Lived in a bunch of cities around the US. CDMX is my favorite. That being said, it’s still Latin America. Take precautions. I grew up in the NYC area around the gangs and stuff of the 90s and 00s. Here are a few tips to strongly consider
    1) Live in Polanco, no farther north than Juarez, no father south than Escandon (unless you’re going to Coyocan), no farther east than Roma or Doctores. All assuming you want to be near some action. Don’t listen to these wannabe “woke” pe

  • Grew up here in the 80s/90s, moved back in 2015 after 10 years in LA and 10 years abroad. I don’t get why it’s so highly rated. It’s a far cry from the free-living, cheap to live, music-infused past. The old music venues are being torn down to build condos. Tech bros moving en masse has caused housing demand to spike, and with it, property values, rent, and cost of living, and no scale with increases in pay. All the musicians and artists are leaving, and everyone here is young, white, and has

  • Ericeira will be the Canggu of Europe, I think.
    It’s the surf capital of Europe, so it has the surfers. It has the hipster cafes with nice coffee, although they are quite tiny and need to be bigger.
    It has amazing restaurants, especially sea food but also typical hipster food.
    It has the same type of people you’ll see in Canggu and Bali.
    Right now there’s a coworking space called Salt but it’s small, cramped and insufficient. What Ericeira needs is a big moder well designed coworking spac

  • I spent one year in Istanbul and it’s absolutely amazing. The city is really safe, I went back home really late during the night, walking, without any problem. Parties are really fun and there are all kinds of spots to have fun (bars, nightclubs, restaurants…). The city has a lot of cafés to work at and most of them have free and reliable wifi. Definitely recommend!

  • My husband and I spent about 6 weeks testing Prague in Nov-Dec 2018 as we were considering it as a semi-permanent base of operations for the next year or two. Honestly it was great and we plan on leaving Malta where we have been for the past year. Pluses – transportation is very good and quite cheap, tons of restaurants, lots to do. People are more reserved, perhaps even a bit suspicious, so I would not say it was an OVERLY welcoming vibe, however there are a lot of expats from the US, CA, UK

  • Better than Lisbon, much more cozy and welcoming. You can find cheaper places in the “other side of the bridge”, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. Public transports works and is pretty convenient, most part of the city is covered by tram stations. Beaches are freezing cold but nice for a running. Don’t miss the daily sunsets in the garden nearby the bridge, eating pastel de nata and drinking a bottle of Porto Wine. But please, don’t clap your hands to the sun — only Brazilian t

  • Literally the worst traffic in North America, 6th worst in the world, grotesquely expensive, Horrible weather much of the year, Cold and distant people. Possibly the most Anti-American people In the world. Surging crime and homelessness since Orwellian government lockdown
    On a good note, decent waterfront in the summer and fall, if you dig around You can’t find decent food though very expensive.
    Overall you’re much better off in NYC or elsewhere. Trying to defect from here as asap.

  • Doesn’t matter what you’re interested in, Saint Petersburg has it. It’s the largest “small” city in Europe. Such a large population, but everything you want in nightlife and action is packed into several districts. Best city in Europe for nightlife. Not sure why nomadlist has “safety” as a con because it’s safer than any western europe city and every american city. Cheaper than Thailand, but winter is COLD.

  • Didn’t plan to come to Zagreb, and so had no expectations. Turned out to be a lovely, liveable city, so much so that I extended my stay by several weeks! Contrary to some of the comments from a year ago, it is now very vegan friendly, cards are universally accepted, steady WiFi si abundant, and many other people are working from coffee shops. The city is very walkable, and more affordable than Split or Dubrovnik.

  • My girlfriend and I lived in Belgrade for over a month and absolutely loved it! It has a bit of a raw feeling and the indoor smoking is something that’s hard to get used to, but in general we felt welcomed with open arms with pretty much everyone we’ve been in contact with.
    We were particularly fond of the Dorcol region to stay, eat and live. The castle area is great for a walk on a sunny day.
    Also relevant in pandemic times: the food delivery is amazing (we mostly used Wolt).

  • Berlin is overall a great city to be.
    Food is cheap and everywhere, easy to go out and have fun/meet for business.
    Rent has crept up but still far better value than where I came from.
    Internet: 36 EUR/month get me 450/40 mbps (cable -> DOCSIS 3.0)
    Public transport is 2.70 EUR/ticket.
    No woman I know has said they felt unsafe. Some really odd, xenophobic sounding comments on here.
    Biggest downsides IMO:
    service quality at restaurants – not that people are rude, but they don’t seem to particular

  • I stayed here for a month in July last year. There’s lots of cool aspects to the city but I hated it when I was there. The city has a problem with British stag parties, so if you look like you’re a British male and speak English expect to be treated with disdain (it’s fair enough)
    The Hungarians can just generally be unfriendly, especially bartenders. It’s a weird experience waiting to be served while 3 people ignore you.

  • Really enjoying Seoul so far. It is very hard to make friends at first as not many people will speak English or are too afraid to. Maybe easier in Itaewon. For phone service, I was able to get month to month service on KT with unlimited data for only 35,000 won a month. Check out the desk with a sign in Thai on the electronics floor at IPark Mall connected to Yonsan station for this deal. They speak great English as well.

  • I lived in Tallinn for four months. It’s a great city overall. Life quality is excellent with transportations and everything else working excellently.
    I loved the fact that you can travel to other countries easily and inexpensively (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, etc.). At the same time, I think the city gets monotonous fast compared to other places where I lived in a similar size. Estonian people don’t appear to be very active. It’s understandable because most of them are hard-working and out

  • Nice but also not nice. British normie tourist place with a few hipster/surfer cafes like Abigail’s, Coffee & Waves and Black and White. There’s not much else to do here and the town lacks class and nice hotels. I’d skip this and go to Ericeira instead.

  • Prices aren’t that low anymore. 1br apartment in the centre would cost you around 400 euros, maybe even 500 if you go for something more luxurious.
    Airbnbs are 40-50 euros per night (central ones).
    Dinner would be anywhere from 5 to 10 euros and even more if you go to the fanciest restaurants.
    There’s a decent tech scene around (lots of software engineers in the city).
    I’m living in Timisoara since 2011.
