Digital Nomads

March 14, 2022 - The community is growing as Digital Nomad We{dn}esdays expands to 8 cities all over Croatia. Small steps, but every month, one step forward.  Croatia's digital nomad story has been one of rapid progress, from being only the second country in Europe to offer a digital nomad visa at the beginning of last year, to being named as the second most-like country for nomads in the influential NomadList survey just 9 months later (with Zagreb as the fifth most-liked city).  Nomadbase, the first business and travel club for digital nomads, has chosen Primosten, Croatia as only its…

March 14, 2022 - The Dubrovnik digital nomad story continues, as the Work. Place. Culture. Conference is announced, bringing work from anywhere to absolutely everywhere.  Good things are happening in the Pearl of the Adriatic.  A new initiative to reposition the iconic Croatian city, known also to millions as Kings Landing, is already paying handsome dividends.  A media poster child for overtourism back in 2017, Dubrovnik is now attracting headlines for very different reasons. Dubrovnik's decision to explore the remote work path has propelled itself into an increasingly popular digital nomad destination. In partnership with Saltwater Nomads and Total Croatia…

March 3, 2022 - Primosten is the place to be in May, as Nomadbase announces the pretty Dalmatian coastal town close to Split for its Nomadbase Croatia conference.  The ecosystem is developing.  Zagreb, Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Hvar, Rijeka, Pula, Osijek - all are Croatian destinations which are becoming attractive to digital nomads in the remote work revolution.  And now we can add another name to that list - Primosten.  The first digital nomad travel and business club, Nomadbase, has announced its third meetup, after successful events in Cyprus and Mexico. Founder Johannes Voelkner announced in a YouTube webinar that the…

March 3, 2022 - Join the Nomadbase Croatia webinar tonight to find out the location of the May 9-15 conference on the Croatian coast. The Croatian digital nomad story is gathering pace, and one of the biggest endorsements so far is the decision of the world's first digital nomad business and travel club to base their next event in Croatia.  After successful events in Cyprus and Mexico, Nomadbase Croatia will be welcoming an expected 500 members of its community to its next conference from May 9-15, 2022.  Founder and owner Johannes Voelkner has just returned from a week on the…

February 25, 2022 - As the remote work revolution continues, meet the Zagreb hotel co-working space which is proving to be a huge hit with digital nomads - Canopy by Hilton.  Have you ever been to a hotel that feels like it is a living part of the community? A place where you pop in for a meeting and find a hive of activity from a wide cross-section of society? A hotel which has the look and feel of a living room, rather than a 4-star hotel chain? It is less than a year since I first visited Canopy by…

February 23, 2022 - His one-year digital nomad permit is about to expire, but the phenomenal Steve Tsentserensky promotion of Croatia continues.  "Can you believe it? Someone is actually moving to Croatia after that article about me on CNBC." And that someone is not alone.  One of the early reactions to Croatia introducing a digital nomad visa last year was what benefits it would actually bring Croatia. One of the biggest side benefits, I replied, is a new army of enthusiastic promoters of their adopted country.  That was before I met Ohian Steve Tsentserenky, who Jan de Jong suggested I…

February 23, 2022 - The Croatian National Tourist Board has joined forces with the Digital Nomad Association Croatia. Great news, and time to talk about the elephant in the room.  Croatia's digital nomad story is gathering pace, and the energy is real.

February 15, 2022 - Minister of Tourism Nikolina Brnjac talked in Buzet with Mayor Damir Kajin about the importance of uniting tourist communities and the development and potential of year-round tourism with an emphasis on digital nomads, who increasingly recognize the interior of Istria as an ideal destination for their stay. Stating that the focus during the talks was on the importance of uniting tourist communities, which Istria quickly recognized as important, Minister Brnjac said that tourist unions have the opportunity to use funds more efficiently, but also to better manage tourist destinations, reports Index.hr.  "In this way, we contribute…

February 14, 2022 - TCN is delighted to welcome one of the rising stars of the digital nomad scene. Community builder extraordinaire Dean Kuchel on his impressions of two weeks at Zadar Digital Nomad Valley.   Not enough. That’s how I sum up my visit to the recently opened - Digital Nomads Valley in Zadar, a hotel & campsite turned into a small village for remote professionals and digital nomads. During my two weeks stay in January 2022, I was one among 15 nomads. Group of young guys & girls, some single, some with a partner, from places like Israel, Poland,…

February 13, 2022 - Another milestone of cohesion in Croatia's digital nomad journey, as DNA Croatia announces the first We{dn}esdays Digital Nomads Croatia nationwide drinks events.  After 19 years living in a country famed for its bureaucracy and infighting among interest groups, I am finding the Croatian digital nomad story to be beyond refreshing. So much cohesion and positive energy from talented and motivated stakeholders, who are gelling and forming a focused and cohesive roadmap to develop this new sector and opportunity for the country.  At the heart of everything (at least it seems to me) is the energy of…
