 <\/p>\r\n

With friendly people, stunning architecture, and beautiful beaches, Portugal is already home to several digital nomad communities, namely in Lisbon, Peniche, Madeira, and Porto. The relatively low cost of living and general safety make it a highly attractive hotspot too. There\u2019s something for everyone here, whether you love laying on the beach, hiking through the forest, or even exploring ancient Roman ruins. Plus, they offer a one-year digital nomad visa that can be renewed if you find you\u2019d like to stay longer. Learning Portuguese is recommended but not essential as the vast majority of locals speak good English.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Hellas<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Plus, the Mediterranean diet is widely known for being the healthiest diet in the world. They currently offer a one-year digital nomad visa that can be renewed. It\u2019s a good idea to learn some Greek, but most locals speak English too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Thailand<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\r\n

With wild jungles in the north and sparkling beaches in the south, Thailand offers an exciting travel adventure. In recent years, it\u2019s become more welcoming towards digital nomads. You\u2019ll find plenty of cafes and coworking spaces with strong WiFi to work from, as well as many communities of people who work from around the world. It\u2019s a fairly safe country with a low cost of living, and English is spoken widely.

 <\/p>\r\n

Imagine a place where the highest mountains in the world are in your backyard. Nepal is mostly known for the hiking trails of Mount Everest, but plenty more scenic routes lay waiting for hikers to explore them. A hidden gem, Nepal is slowly growing in popularity amongst digital nomads, and there are several comfy cafes to work from in the capital city of Kathmandu and the lakeside town Pokhara.
