• 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

• Chiang Mai used to be N.1 for the digital nomad life.
  It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main).
  Wouldn’t recommend staying there during the burning season.
  The best area is Nimman, but it’s also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that’s very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets.
  Last but not least, very safe city.
  All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

• 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

• We spent January in Santa Cruz and had a fantastic stay. The people we met were nice, the weather was fantastic, prices for things were reasonable, good selection of locally grown produce, good internet connectivity, there were lots of outdoor activities to do, and not too touristy or crowded (at least Santa Cruz in January). Other parts of the Island felt more resort-like and it wasn’t so easy to get to places outside of Santa Cruz without a car.

• This place is a total gem! Bali/Thailand vibes + close to US. Also am impressed with their covid policies – not as much mask wearing, but I get an instant no-hassle temperature check virtually every place I go, which is so much smarter than stupid curfews, closures, and quarantine theater I dealt with in the US every day.

• Stayed one month in January. In which it is one of the few places in the EU with absolute tshirt-weather. I liked the nomad and expat scene, which is lively. There’s always something to do: sailing, markets, tapas nights, meetups. The transport system is good, with a cheap city bike system, good bus system for island travel and ferries for inter-island travel. Each island is a bit different in climate and culture so go and see a few. I especially liked the hiking in different micro-climates. For

• 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

• The noise pollution here is insane. The prayer calls from the mosques seem to reverberate throughout Penang. Seems like they are competing for who can be the loudest. This really ruined Penang for me and I cut my time short.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• Lively city with excellent internet and other infrastructure. Beaches are everywhere – both gulf beaches and bay beaches. Head for the gulf side if you want spectacular sunsets and surf, and the bay beaches if you want calm waters. Clearwater Beach was rated #1 on TripAdvisor 2 years in a row, and for good reason. The water is beautifully clear and the sand as soft as baby powder. Public transportation options could be better. Awesome restaurants. This is the “sweet spot” in Florida in the summe

• I absolutely love living in this city. It’s very clean, safe and things generally always work! This is something I miss when I travel to other cities in Europe and rest of the world. Also co-working spaces are growing tons.
  Though night life might be pretty “boring”, it truly is what you make it. Get to know other expats and friends through meetups or friend of a friend, and you’ll have an awesome time here!

• Split is a very pleasant town. You have Roman ruins, clear Adriatic waters, ferries to Hvar and other islands. Places to stay are affordable, food is medium priced. English is pretty commonly spoken. You can explore the town in about two days, but it seems a very pleasant place to live (I’ve been here 2 weeks & plan to stay for 2 months).

• Read the review that starts “I live here and I can tell you that many of the stats listed are wrong” – its spot on accurate
  I will add to that – Vancouver is brain-numbingly boring and dead. There is noticeable and toxic mix of pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers. Mix in a very Vancouver trait of entitlement, and watch the the passive aggression fly.
  Vancouverites generally are a cold bunch making it difficult for newcomers. Worst of all they believe in their own created hype that live in

Compared to US Cities, this place just works, it’s very easy to live here and the public transportation is wonderful. It was also extremely cheap compared to any US city and I could afford to eat out every meal and go to the fancier restaurants on my US salary. The beauty of the buildings in the center and quick access to nature was my favorite part as well a
