I’ve been a Digital Nomad / Tech Entrepreneur / Guy who works from home type of person since 2016. I like this life style. It has its downside. But for the most part is is great. I’ve visited almost 30 countries in the last 3 years while living a DN lifestyle. I’ve met many other DNs who lead a similar lifestyle. They all have preferences in terms of what you consider as ideal place to live and work.
For me as a DN the most important factors I consider are:
- Weather
- Cost of living
- Access to nature
- High speed (reliable) Internet
- Safety
Keeping this in mind I categorized the cities into 3 tiers. Top tier, Middle and Bottom tiers (with 3 cities in each bucket based on the above criteria)
Top Tier
- Medellin, Colombia
- Kyiv, Ukraine
- Berlin, Germany
Middle tier
- Chiang Mai, Thailand
- Kyoto, Japan
- Algarve coast, Portugal
Bottom Tier
- Montreal, Canada
- Granada, Spain
- Prague, Czech Republic
