Hello, let me introduce myself, the names Emmanuel (Eman for short).
I joined this space to discuss how to become a travel writer as a complete beginner with little writing experience?
I just want to dip my feet in the water so to say but I don't know where to start, I am passionate about traveling, I've lived in Ohio for most of my life and recently moved to Massachusetts, it was my first time living away from home and it changed my life, right now I just want to do more of that and be able to make a living traveling full time, is this possible or just a dream?
Looking forward to your tips.
Let me know!

I'm curious to learn more about what are the favourite destinations of digital nomads.
🌎 What is your favourite country / city to work from and why?
🧑💻 Would you recommend any coworking or coliving spaces?
Hey Maria! I've been a digital nomad for the last 5+ years and the scene has changed drastically since the pandemic.
Right now, Portugal is the top destination for nomads. Lisbon is the top within Portugal, but many of the southern beach towns are popping off too.
Colombia (namely Medellín) is still a top destination for nomads. Colombia has seen a 300% growth in tourism these last couple of months. I expect to see it to continue to grow over the next year or so.
Other great nomad destinations:
- Buenos Aires
- México City
- Istanbul
- Berlin
- Canary islands
- Austin TX and Miami FL (I don't personally love the vibe of the US nomad destinations. The culture is a lot more transactional)
- Bali (making a come back since reopening)
I love Selina's coworking spaces but you have to be careful because some of their locations have turned into party hostels since the pandemic. Tough for working haha
#MontenegroWildBeauty. For many reasons!
Bansko, Bulgaria. It was the first destination that I visited (originally for a conference) and ended up moving to because I loved it so much (I'm more location independent than nomadic per see). Incredible mountains, great digital nomad community and very affordable.
More people should know about Bansko 🙌
I am living in the middle of nowhere Italy....and I love it. It's not a hub, it's not popular, and it's perfect!
Heyyy Maria - you could just follow the Creative Spaces community on our MapYourCity app. They've collected the best places to work all over the world. A great guide for digital nomads. New ones are added regularly too. 😉

CAPE TOWN it is amazing in summer (European winter), honestly the best city i have ever lived in as a nomad. If you're looking for outdoor living there is no better city. Recently i noticed there has been a huge increase in the demand from digital nomads wanting to travel there. I stayed in NEIGHBOURGOOD a new coliving concept that's perfect for DN'S as they have multiple sites for living & working across the city, no long-term contracts & stays from one week. they also have daily events so its a great place if you are traveling alone. :)

I'm biased, and will say anywhere in Dalmatia :) with Tirana as a new favourite. There for planning of the upcoming Digital Nomad Festival.
Again, biased on coworking - I've run spaces since 2017. Anyone who organises community events is my bet. Surprisingly, some don't and are the "business park" style. They look fancy - but I prefer supporting the grass roots and boot strapped spaces. :)
A lot of great options to check out on this list
