We’ve been in a State of Emergency here in Portugal for a month now, although we began self-isolating a bit earlier. Despite the world’s upheaval, we’ve found a sense of calm. Most of the world is at a standstill, and it feels surreal. Wild animals are wandering into cities, pets have their owners home full-time, kids aren’t in school, and everyone is spending all day together. Jobs and lives have been lost, creating a mix of emotions that’s hard to process. Nick and I have gone through many stages during this time, and when compared to earlier updates, it’s striking…

Frankly, it felt like we were complete beginners. Our plan was simple: catch a bus from Brighton to London, take an underground train to the next stop, and then hop on a bus to York. But when it came time to find the bus to York, we found ourselves completely lost. We hadn’t done our homework and assumed it was a straightforward bus ride. It turned out, we needed to take a train first, then a bus. We dashed in and out of the station, asking about 10 people where to find this bus. At one point, I even fell…

Liverpool holds a special place in my heart, especially because it’s where I lived for the first four years of my life. My family still resides there, and I visit them frequently. It’s one of my favorite places in England. Watching the world go by from a cozy cafe is one of my favorite things to do in the city. I’ve spent many days in Liverpool cafes, as they’re a great place to pass the time while waiting for friends or family members to finish work. The coffee culture in the city is ever-evolving, offering an incredible array of cafes…

If you can pull yourself away from the beach, exploring the wineries in Cyprus is a top activity on the island. Although Cyprus is famous for its stunning weather, turquoise waters, and white sandy beaches, its vineyards are a hidden treasure. Nestled within the hills of the Troodos Mountains are seven main wine routes where you can sample some of the finest wines and enjoy excellent tastings in charming mountain villages. I spent nearly four months in Cyprus, and during that time, I loved sampling some of the best Cypriot wines while exploring the wineries. I was based in Limassol,…

In recent years, Tbilisi has emerged as one of Europe’s top spots for digital nomads. Having lived in this vibrant city since 2020, I’m eager to share my firsthand experience. Georgia, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is nestled between Russia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. This small country offers everything from towering mountain ranges to a beautiful Black Sea coastline. Since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and undergoing significant reforms after the 2003 Rose Revolution, Georgia has become increasingly popular with tourists. Although it’s not yet as well-known as other European digital nomad destinations, Tbilisi’s…

Germany stands as Europe’s economic heavyweight, making it an attractive hub for expats, freelancers, and digital nomads. With opportunities galore, whether you’re working in a shared co-working space or launching your own business, Germany offers a rich environment to thrive in. The country is a cultural mosaic, offering something for everyone. You can live amidst the snowy Bavarian Alps, by Hamburg’s bustling harbor, or in Berlin’s vibrant core. Germany boasts delicious hearty cuisine, affordable beer, and a rich cultural heritage that’s hard to resist. I spent a summer living in Munich as a digital nomad. In this guide, I’ll share…

Liverpool is one of the UK’s most fascinating cities, bursting with rich history and vibrant culture. From learning about its maritime legacy and famous football club to exploring The Beatles’ history and visiting museums, shops, bars, pubs, cafes, and restaurants, there’s something for everyone. I’ve visited Liverpool numerous times over the years and always enjoy wandering around the docks and sampling the local eateries. Liverpudlians, affectionately known as “scousers,” are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality, making visits exceptionally pleasant. Key attractions in Liverpool include the Albert Docks area, Chinatown, and the lively city center. Liverpool is also a great…

Madrid offers a plethora of nighttime activities thanks to the famously late lifestyle of its residents. From budget-friendly historical tours to high-end clubbing, there’s something for everyone, all within or near the central neighborhood of Sol. Madrid, with its rich history and stunning architecture, never disappoints. Having lived there for five months, I can vouch for the countless evening activities that cater to all interests. One of the top destinations for nightlife enthusiasts is Teatro Kapital. This massive club has seven floors, including a rooftop, and is renowned for its DJ sets that last until the early morning. With fog…
