The life of a digital nomad is one that appeals to many - and
it’s not difficult to see why! After all, for many people, the idea of putting
their worldly possessions into self-storage
and moving from country to country, only stopping to
run their online business from a local cafe, is a dream come true. If you’re
thinking of taking the plunge into the digital nomad lifestyle, here are five
cities you’ll want to check out.
Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam
Skyrise buildings, high-end
shops and quirky cafes on every street corner make Ho Chi Minh City, otherwise
known as “Saigon”, a top choice of destination for digital nomads everywhere.
Despite its development as an energetic and fast-paced metropolis, Ho Chi Minh
city has still retained the unmistakable laid back atmosphere - and affordable
prices - characteristic of the rest of Vietnam, making it a highly alluring
destination for both business and leisure. Additionally, Vietnamese coffee is
among the best in the world - what more could a digital nomad need?
Medellin, Colombia
For many digital nomads, Medellin in Colombia is the perfect
city to work in. With many coworking spots to choose from and an enviable cost
of living, Medellin has everything you need to enjoy a great work/life balance.
Spend the day running your business from one of the city’s unique cafes and
wind down in the evening at a salsa club or cocktail bar - the choice is yours
in Colombia.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
If the thought of tapping away at your laptop from a quiet
cafe, surrounded by beautiful Buddhist temples and verdant landscapes, is your
idea of heaven, then Chiang Mai may be the place for you. The tranquillity of
Chiang Mai offers a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the country’s
capital, Bangkok, yet its undeniable appeal to digital nomads and backpackers
has seen the development of many great bars and clubs in recent years.
Short-term accommodation options, easy access to Wi-Fi and affordable prices
have also helped the city to grow in popularity.
Budapest, Hungary
When it comes to working in
Europe, many people are attracted to the history of Berlin, the charm of
Lisbon, and the liveliness of London. With the perfect balance of history,
culture and opportunities to socialise (the city’s wonderful “Ruin Bars” are
proof of this!), Budapest is one of the newest European cities to become a
digital nomad hotspot - with much cheaper living costs than Berlin, Lisbon and
London! On top of this, there are plenty of coworking cafes to choose from and
fast Wi-Fi almost everywhere you go.
Seoul, South Korea
In recent years, Seoul has become a hotspot for people
working remotely - and it’s no surprise why. Super-fast Internet, affordable
living costs and a thriving coffee culture have all contributed to South Korea
becoming a favourite for start-up businesses and freelancers, and with hundreds
of 24/7 cafes to hole up in, Seoul is quickly becoming one of the most popular
cities for digital nomads to settle in.
