The Ultimate Guide to Albania for Digital Nomads: Is This The New DN Paradise?

Digital Nomad in Albania

Albania is famous for its pristine beaches, dreamy cobblestone villages, and budget-friendly prices — but that’s not all. In recent years, it’s also become a popular hotspot for digital nomads! 

While many people rave about other digital nomad destinations in the Balkans (I’m looking at you, Montenegro and Croatia), Albania is also making big headlines lately. 

In fact, Albania has a lot going for it: it’s centrally located yet not in the EU, has an excellent mix of beaches and nature, and is one of the most budget-friendly countries in Europe. 

Sounds nice, right? That’s exactly what I thought when we were looking for our next digital nomad homebase. I was already imagining chilling on a beach in Saranda, strolling between the charming white houses of Berat, and sipping some ice coffee while cranking out work for clients. 

So you can imagine that one of the biggest questions before I came here was, Is Albania good for digital nomads? 

… And that’s exactly what this blog post is all about! After nearly maxing out our allowed 90 days in the country, we have a much better idea of what it’s like to be digital nomads in Albania. 

Keep reading if you’ve also been considering Albania as your next destination!

17 BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA TRAVEL TIPS: What to Know Before You Go!

The Balkans are quickly becoming a trending destination for intrepid travelers, with some countries — like Serbia, Croatia, and Montenegro —becoming the most popular destinations.

Which is fantastic if you plan to visit them, but not so great if you want to travel to places that are more off the beaten path, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina!

When we planned our trip to BiH, I was surprised at the lack of blog posts and articles, especially on destinations that are outside of the capital, like Blagaj or Jajce (two of my new favorite places!)

These Bosnia and Herzegovina travel tips include everything you need to know, from money to safety, customs, transportation, accommodations, and other interesting tidbits of information. In a nutshell, these are all of the things to know before visiting Bosnia for the first time.
