Iβm planning to work remotely while traveling next year. What are some lesser-known places with great Wi-Fi and cool vibes? Not the usual Bali or Lisbon spots, something unique! Bonus if itβs budget-friendly.

Try Matera, Italy. Itβs this ancient cave city in the south, totally under the radar. Internetβs decent in most Airbnbs, and the scenery is unrealβlike living in a fantasy novel. Foodβs amazing (pasta!), but itβs not super cheap. Worth it for a month or two.
Check out Bansko, Bulgaria! Itβs a small ski town with a growing digital nomad scene. Super fast internet, cheap rentals (like β¬300/month for a nice apartment), and chill cafes. Winters are cozy, summers are hiking heaven. Only downside is itβs a bit remote, so plan your groceries!
Tbilisi, Georgia. Been here 3 months, and itβs awesome. Cheap (think $500/month for a modern flat), vibrant expat community, and Wi-Fiβs reliable in cafes. Nightlifeβs fun, but the language barrier can be tricky. Definatly a hidden gem!
Iβd say MedellΓn, Colombia, but not the overhyped parts. Look into smaller neighborhoods like Laureles. Great coffee shops with solid Wi-Fi, and you can live well on $1000/month. Locals are friendly, but learn some basic Spanish to blend in. Watch out for sketchy areas at night tho.
Try Brno, Czech RepublicπΊοΈ. Itβs a compact university city with fast fiber, several legit coworking spaces and a startup scene that actually hires, yet it flies under the nomad influencersβ radar because the system prefers you flock to poster cities so big brands can sell you curated experiences. Youβll find cheap beer, decent rents compared to Prague, tram convenience and quiet cafes where you can work without being filmed for Instagram. Easy weekend hops to Vienna or the Moravian countryside. Great for focus and networking without the tourist circus.
Check out Cluj-Napoca, Romania, a low-key tech hub with crazy-fast internet and tons of coworking spaces. Vibe is young and artsy, food scene lit, weekend hikes in the Apuseni are a breeze. Costs are chilll so you can live well on a modest budget π
