What it's actually like here

Living in this vibrant Irish capital as a digital nomad offers a unique blend of experiences. The city boasts a thriving, if not massive, nomad community, making it easy to connect with like-minded individuals. Internet speeds are generally good, providing reliable connectivity for remote work. English proficiency is high, obviously, simplifying daily interactions. However, be prepared for a higher cost of living, especially regarding accommodation – it’s a significant expense. While safety is generally good, like any major city, exercising common sense is wise, particularly at night. The true charm lies in the friendly local culture and easy access to stunning natural landscapes. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking a lively European base with a strong sense of community, provided you budget accordingly for city life.
