10 PLACES FOR DIGITAL NOMADS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
If you’re a digital nomad, you already know that looking for your next destination can be one of the most difficult decisions.
You need to find a place that fulfills all your requirements and at the same time offers an amazing experience. Because at the end of the day, that’s what it is all about… experiences!
You don’t have to visit the same popular places that every digital nomad has been at. There are places that are still considered “undiscovered” by mass tourism. Therefore, if you’re looking for something different than Buenos Aires, Bali or Chiang Mai you’re in the right place.
Today we are going to be share 10 underrated and relatively “undiscovered” digital nomad destinations and why you should visit them.
Koh Lanta, Thailand
If you’re trying to visit Thailand as a digital nomad, instead of visiting Bangkok or Chiang Mai, you could visit a much more peaceful and quieter place… Koh Lanta.
Some people describe the island of Koh Lanta as a paradise. It’s full of nature… Birds singing, waves washing over sand and rocks, rare traffic, and the best part? Most of Koh Lanta’s resorts are just a few meters away from the ocean.
This Thai island is also perfect if you’re trying to save up some money. Cheap hotels, restaurants, and internet connection are just some other benefits this island offers.
Saranda, Albania
Located along the Albanian Riviera, Saranda is very much similar to Greece and its climate. You get sunny days, beautiful beaches, Mediterranean food, and a small but great digital nomad community.
During the summer, Saranda is full of life and your options in entertainment are endless. However, it gets quieter during the other seasons. The expat community here isn’t that big which gives you the opportunity to create deeper friendships with other nomads like yourself.
Cheap internet and very affordable rent are also some great benefits of living in Saranda.
Da Nang, Vietnam
Vietnam is always a great choice for digital nomads. Da Nang is a growing digital nomads hub, perfect for anyone who has a budget (or no!).
Rent is very affordable here at about $300 per month. Overall, there are many places like coffee shops and restaurants that offer cheap prices. A luxurious lifestyle is also possible in Da Nang as there are many Western restaurants and rooftop bars for you to explore.
Apart from that, the internet is very fast and reliable so you don’t have to worry about it which is always a plus.
Bansko, Bulgaria
Different than the usual digital nomad destination, Bansko is a small mountain town in Bulgaria. Sure, it may not have beaches or 300 sunny days a year but it’s definitely perfect for people who love the mountains and freedom.
The cost of living here is cheap compared to the rest of Europe. You can rent an apartment for as low as $170 per month. The Internet is also very reliable in most cafes and restaurants.
Skiing, hiking, visiting hot springs, and meeting other nomads at the multiple coworkings are just some of Bansko’s activities you can do while exploring this little town.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilisi is the largest city in Georgia and it’s definitely a growing expats community. Before we say anything else, you have to know that Tbilisi has been affected by the Russian-Ukrainian war and prices are not as enticing as they used to be.
Even though it’s not that cheap, Tbilisi is a beautiful place! Buildings feature awesome architecture, the streets are full of life and welcoming shops, and let’s not forget the fact that Georgia is A VERY safe place to live with extremely low crime rate.
It’s worth noting that Georgian food is some of the best we’ve had in all our years of travel.
Some recommended digital nomad spots are Stamba Hotel Cafe, Fabrika Hostel Cafe, and Terminal.
Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn is the capital of Estonia and the best Estonian place for a digital nomad.
Estonia has emerged as a hotspot for entrepreneurs and digital nomads due to several reasons, with its advanced digital infrastructure and visa options for digital nomads being the most significant ones.
Tallinn is perfect for all kinds of people. It has a vivid nightlife, many museums, harbors, palaces, and more. There are also a lot of co-working places that you can access for a monthly subscription.
Although rental prices are not the cheapest, you can still find a decent apartment for as little as $800 per month.
Perth, Australia
Ever dreamed of visiting the edge of the world? If so, Perth can help you accomplish your dream. Located on the Western Coast of Australia, Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world.

Perth has a population of around 2 million people and digital nomads are a common thing here. There are many co-working spaces as well as coffee shops and restaurants that you can work in. Lifestyle is not as expensive as in other major cities like Sydney or Melbourne.
