Nomad Hotspots

A lot of places like Bali, Medellín & Playa del Carmen used to be considered cheap for digital nomads but I don’t think they’re that cheap anymore. Let us help you find the next Nomad Hotspots.

That’s why I say Skopje, North Macedonia will be the next digital nomad hop spot! It is a place that offers digital nomads a great lifestyle at a very affordable price.

Digital Nomad Amenities

It has a lot of other great benefits digital nomads need & want like:

• Safety
• An international airport
• Easily accessible public transportation
• Great infrastructure like electricity & internet
• Solid cellular connectivity

The only thing missing to make Skopje a slam dunk as a digital nomad destination is that it’s in North Macedonia, a landlocked country just north of Greece.

However, it is located in close proximity to Lake Ohrid, a well-known UNESCO World Heritage site where people flock especially during the hot summer months. [In fact, click HERE to read Kate Shifman‘s great article from last summer on living & working remotely from Lake Ohrid.]

Cost of Living

To give you a little insight into how much it costs to live in Skopje, here is some rough pricing based on my 1-month stay there last summer:

🏡 Rent a very nice condo in a great neighborhood for $700-1200/mo.

🍽 Eat & drink at normal restaurants for $5-10/meal or fancy for $25-35/meal.

☕ Enjoy an excellent cafe culture w/ espressos for < $1 & cappuccinos for < $2.

🍅 Cook your own affordable meals with fresh, readily available meat & produce.

Fun Things to Do

While I wasn’t able to do all these things during my stay in Skopje, here is a list of fun & easily accessible things to do:

Explore Skopje city center, the Stone Bridge, and the Old Bazaar

Matka Canyon & Vrelo Cave

Millennium Cross

Lake Ohrid

Daytrip to Kosovo

Mavrovo National Park

Wine tasting

Winter downhill skiing

Skopje Aqueduct

Stobi archaeological site

Conclusion

For all these reasons, I say Skopje is poised to become the next digital nomad hotspot!
