- Have you ever dreamed of working remotely from any country in the world? This is what most digital nomads do. Of course, remote work is not something new. Even before 2020, many companies had realized the benefits of remote work.
And the boom of remote jobs means that many people have more flexibility in choosing where they live, how they commute and which career to pursue.
From teachers to accountants, the list is quite varied. I’ve added a link to their website below so you can check the list.

Digital nomads are living and working remotely all over the world BUT In this video, I will share the 10 favorite European cities for digital nomads according to the website Nomad List: www.nomadlist.com

I love the concept of remote work, and the freedom it can grant you! As someone who's passionate about travel, It's always fun learning some of the best places to go once I'm able to hit the road. Really great video, can't wait to see more, just subscribed!
Same here! I really like the concept of remote work. Hopefully, I will be able to achieve it in the near future. Your channel has a lot interesting videos with essential information about personal finance, just subscribed! I've seen that you've also read "The 4-hour workweek". I got a lot of insights from that book as well. Thanks for subscribing :)
This seams like a list for people who like to be cold. Not quite for me. But i might visit for summer
Great Video! Just subscribed. I am going to get my medical degree soon, and I really want to spend some time just going around countries while working with Telemedicine
Hey André, thanks for the comment. Eu vi em outro comentário que você escreveu que você é brasileiro. Eu também sou. Sou de Recife e por enquanto estou de volta ao Brasil. Eu estou pesquisando para onde me mudar no início do próximo ano. Me segue lá no Instagram @readygoexpat Fiquei curioso para saber como você vai trabalhar com Telemedicina e como funciona. Valeu! =]
@@ReadyGoExpat haha, que surpresa! Seu inglês é impecável. Vou seguir sim! Ainda estou buscando as possibilidades e me planejando, mas posso te falar o que já tenho em mente. Te dou um oi lá, depois
Great video thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Alex =]
Nice and inspiring. But things do change A LOT for families. Do you have suggestions for those of us with kids?
Well done! I like that you chose cities not based on populaity
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
thanks for the vid. what about Debrecen? :)
Good question. I will check it now.
Maybe if I actually get a remote job then I might considering vis and potentially living in one of these places..... But only during the summer. I don't like being cold
That's true! Winter can get super cold in Europe depending on where you go. The great thing about summer in Europe is that there's always so much happening everywhere. The downside is that the cost for rent usually goes up because it's peak season.
Good list. Any thoughts or data on Odessa, Ukraine as a possibility?
Will look into it, but I don't know much about Odessa. Check out nomadlist dot com.
Brasileiro haha! Vê-se pela pronúncia. Um forte abraço
Valeu pelo comentário. Abração! 😊
Tbisili, Georgia should have been on the list. Really low cost of living and they have a very generous tourist visa. I am in Warsaw now and it is absolutely amazing.
Lisbon seems to be the capital of Startups and digital nomads! No wonder why, good weather, food, people, great beaches and so much to do.
That's definitely true. I believe the only downside is the price of rent which has gone up in the last couple of years.
Great video.
Maybe you should have included the city of Sofia. As far as I understand it is cheep with high speed internet connection.
Another topic to address could be taxes. I believe the taxes are rather high in e.g. Berlin but very low in Kiev. I wonder why so few expats talk about taxes. Could it her that some expats don't pay taxes at all?😎
I've heard a lot about Sofia from friends who have traveled there. It is probably in the top 15 or 20 list. Regarding taxes, that is very tricky indeed. Depending on the kind of visa you have and the agreement that each country has with your own country, you need to pay taxes in that country or not. However, I think that it is very specific to each country. Thanks for the comment :)
@@ReadyGoExpat Thinking about the Schengen Zone, I think it can be interesting to stay 3 months in Europe each year, no visa needed, and then 9 months somewhere else (Chile for example, as I am a brazillian)
@@andreferrer9350 Actually the schengen agreement allows you to stay up to 6 months a year in Europe, as long as you don't book consecutive stays e.g. staying for 3 months, then going someplace else for the next 3 months and returning for another 90 days. The cap is 180/360 days total ;)
I'm confused when he says "1 bedroom studio". You have either 1 bedroom or a studio, not both.
It was supposed to be "for a 1 bedroom apt OR studio".
The times they are a'changin.
Who calculated these averages so precisely, and how? What are the underlying assumptions for total cost of living? This would be much more meaningful to know than averages down to the dollar. Also, why state living costs for European destinations in USD? Exchange rates fluctuate, therefore you should state these costs in local currency.
Hello mapex! The average costs were based on the website I mentioned in the video. The costs on the website were in USD as well. Total cost of living will always vary depending on lifestyle and living habits. This is just an average. Actually, I believe this list is probably a bit different now on their website because it is always based on the feedback of the digital nomads living in those cities. Thanks for the comment =]
LAS PALMAS - very good weather all-around the year, rapid internet, $600 rent, good food, beaches, surf ALL THE PLACES YOU TOLD ARE JUST FINE FOR SUMMERTIME 😂😂 in the winter all suck
Hey berk! I've just checked Las Palmas -- seems like a really cool place. Most places in the video are not ideal during winter, true. Actually, I spent winter in Lisbon and it's not thaaaat bad 😊
@@ReadyGoExpat the weather is perfect all around year, even in summer you never get too hot. And it is way cheaper than Europe because VAT is 7 percent. There are a lot of big Mall, supermarket, cafe, bar. You won't regret it

Adorava experimentar trabalhar a partir de Budapeste ou Praga mas só nos meses de verão 😅 além disso, os locais são pessoas frias. Diria mesmo que na Hungria são antipáticas e fechadas. Visitei as duas cidades em 2019.
Eu curti muito viajar para Bratislava, Praga, Viena e Budapeste anos atrás. Acho que "antipática e fechada" é bem opinião própria. Eu acho que as pessoas lá são bem práticas e objetivas. Para muitos brasileiros, isso significa ser fechado ou frio. Eu já acho que o "calor brasileiro" é exagerado demais. Não tenho paciência. Mas é opinião pessoal. E em relação ao frio... eu sou de Recife. Aqui é mais de 30 graus quase o ano todo. Detesto o calor e a umidade. Praias bonitas? Temos! Desde que nasci. Quero morar em lugar frio porque calor já deu por mais de 30 anos da minha vida. Obrigado pelo comentário!
valencia, spain, I need good weather
VIlnius in Lithuania is also a great option
Hey Ian! I have a friend from Lithuania and she told me about living in Vilnius. Thanks for the comment =]
This is all so relative. The average cost of life of 1k dollars in Romania and Ukraine for example, it's subject to what you do or buy. You can easily make it 700 and live fine as well.
Yes, it all depends each one's lifestyle and living habits. The objective here is to give a general idea about these cities.
Tbilisi or Batumi in Georgia. 360 days per year on no visa and they have a digital nomad visa. Probably lower costs than any of your top 10.
How about Madeira. Pretty much comfortable temperatures and sunny year around and you are still in the EU.
Hi Jim, good point! Tbilisi is somewhere I want to visit and hopefully stay for a couple of months. I recorded an episode of my podcast with a guy who lived there for a year. Thanks for the comment and sorry about the late reply.
4:03 it’s not easy for that old bloke walking around the city 😂😂
How does one come about being a "Digital nomad"? I know it sounds like a vague question, but is it possible and practical for a young Canadian diesel mechanic to make the move? Europe looks just, wow lol
If you can work remotely from your computer you can be a digital nomad.
If it's not possible you can still find a job as an expat/immigrant.
@@Kimeesunshine Nice, Are online jobs primarily telecommunication, or are there other options? Thanks for the reply!
Hello Evan! As Kimeesunshine said, being a digital nomad basically means that you can work remotely, location independent. There are many different jobs now available online. If you look for jobs on LinkedIn, for example, you can add "remote work" as a filter. So you will be able to find jobs in which you can work from anywhere in the world.
If i leave my country and and looking somewhere close to Europe, it should be absolutely warm place or Mediterranean vibe, not like St Petersburg or other cold countries .. i would like have to as turkey, portuguse or greece ect. Why would i stuck at home while i m working remote..
when people sweat, they smell bad.
I loved in Saint Petersburg for nearly 3 years, really a great city. But you have to take into account the harsh immigration laws of Russia. And of the current situation.
What about Tiblisi? What about Slovenia & Bulgaria (Sofia/Plovdiv)?
Hello Jukes. The three of them are also among popular destinations for digital nomads in Europe. In the nomad list website, you can see specific information about them. Thanks for the comment 😊
Does Poland provide the visa to digital nomads?
Hi Ritesh! I've just double checked this information and apparently, Poland does not offer a visa to digital nomads. However, I have seen that many countries are about to start offering a visa for remote workers. So it's important to keep checking for updates online. =]
I’m romanian and I can tell you for certain: cluj is not a good option. Romanians aren’t just conservative, we generally just don’t appreciate foreigners. It’s not the most beautiful city as well, just.. no
hey Andrei. Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Quality of life is going way down in USA interesting list
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it =]
Be aware of the weather though
That's true. Some of these cities have harsh winters.
That’s basically all Eastern Europe.
Hey Gerardo. Yeah... I guess affordability is an important factor for digital nomads. And it is true that Eastern Europe is in general cheaper than Western Europe with a few exceptions.
What about Belgium and Switzerland?
They were not among the top 10. However, you can check other European cities on nomad list website. Thanks for the comment.
How safe is Kiev or Odessa right now?
I don't know. It's easier if you watch the news.
I would recommend Croatia Split,Sibenik Zadar Zagreb all the way.Cheap, great Mediterranean Climate close to all Europe to drive and everyone speaks English.
Hey Chris! I've heard so much about Croatia. I'm dying to go there. Thanks for the comment =]
What about Amsterdam?
I believe Amsterdam is not far from the top 10. I'm actually going to post a video about Expat Life in Amsterdam in the next couple of days 😊
bucherest or Lisbon ?
good question. I personally don't know much about bucharest. I'd say that a downside of Lisbon is the prices for rent that have gone up a lot in the past years.
spain ?
Hey Manuel. Yeah, I was also surprised that cities like Madrid or Barcelona were not mentioned in the list. I believe that it could be due to the cost of living, but I'm not sure.
So how does Berlin rank at number 2?? Thats so expensive.. and 600 dollars a month on food and expenses in Romania? Are you kidding? 😂
You can check the NomadList website for more updated information. 😄
Leipzig in Germany is way better than Berlin ;)
St Petersburg is not in Europe
oh really? I'll change it on Wikipedia. Thanks!
Kiev didn’t age well
Well this did not age well
not at all, Jonanthan. 😁
This video didn’t age well.
hahahahaha totally agree! 😁
Someone who's allergic to the Mediterranean and Mediterranean countries!
Oh wow. Is that the best comment you could think of? 😁
This one didn’t age well…
hhahahhaha true
