Ever travel to a place that’s been hyped up as the ultimate paradise only to discover it’s an unbearable tourist trap? For me, that was Albufeira, supposedly one of the Algarve’s magical ‘hidden gems’. Picture bland, overpriced food, tourist-overloaded beaches, and what should be captivating streets completely void of authenticity, with souvenir shop owners pestering …
Winter in Europe is not every digital nomad’s cup of tea, be it for the heavy rainfall and snow flurries or the limited amount of daylight. A gross mistake most people make is failing to realize that, well, not all of the continent is freezing cold this time of year. While we certainly wouldn’t be …
Spain and Portugal are two of the most popular countries in Europe, drawing in millions of visitors every year with their shared heritage, great food, wealth of historical sites, and of course, sun-drenched coastlines. They’re both located in Iberia, Europe’s southernmost and hottest peninsula, but surprisingly enough, both of their capitals––Madrid and Lisbon––are not connected …

We know what you’re probably thinking: isn’t a bit too late to think of beach getaways across the pond at this point?

With its ancient culture, impressive levels of safety, and great infrastructure, Europe seems to be the end goal of a significant percentage of digital nomads. Cities like Barcelona, Lisbon, and Split have all become workcation havens in recent years. The only downside to those? Anti-expat sentiment is growing across the Old Continent, as local markets …
We get it, European summers are truly unrivaled. There’s nothing quite like taking a bite at a creamy pistachio gelato as you wander the cobbled streets of an ancient Italian city with origins lost to time or lounging all day by a pebbly beach licked the turquoise waters of the Adriatic in Croatia, but have …
Europe may not be the first destination that pops to mind when you think of a sunny getaway this time of year––it’s somewhere you typically go for Christmas markets and snow-dusted Old Towns instead––but this is a continent more diverse than it gets credit for. It may be rainy and cold in places like Paris …
Are you heading to Europe this fall, but you feel the heavy rain and chilly weather take all the fun out of travel planning? Needless to say, you might want to avoid more Northerly destinations, like London, Paris, Amsterdam and the like. On the other hand, there are a fair few sunny spots left that will not bid farewell …
Are you a digital nomad country-hopping in Europe and already shivering at the thought of winter fast approaching? As incredible a home base as the Old Continent is, for all the culture, amazing food, and high quality of life you get, the period between December and March can be a bit of a downer, particularly …
If you’re flying to Europe in the next couple of months and you’re yet to give up hope on an off-season warm getaway, this small, unbelievably beautiful Portuguese island in the middle of the Atlantic offers unspoiled nature, affordable eats, stunning architecture, and 68-degree temps in winter: The largest island in the Azores, a Portugal-administered …
With leaves turning brown and starting to gather on the sidewalk, days getting shorter and colder as early as September, and multiple cities seeing record rain, you may be wondering whether there’s still any hope left for a sunny getaway to Europe in the coming weeks.
