Budva🇲🇪

Looking for a budget-friendly European base? Budva, Montenegro, might surprise you. You can snag a 1-bedroom in the center for around €500, or €320 outside – genuinely affordable. Daily life costs are low too, with an €8 cheap meal or €350 for groceries monthly. It’s perfect if you prioritize a lower cost of living alongside stunning coastal scenery. Internet-wise, with 55 Mbps and decent reliability, it’s good enough for most remote work, and there are three coworking spaces. Healthcare is fair (index 65), and the climate and air quality are excellent. However, while the visa is easy and English proficiency is moderate, the nomad community is small. This means you'll have to work a bit harder to build your network, but on the flip side, it offers a more authentic Montenegrin experience.
