What it's actually like here

Living here as a digital nomad offers a truly charming — and surprisingly affordable for Western Europeans — experience. You’ll find that daily expenses, especially groceries and local transport, are quite reasonable, leaving more in your budget for exploring. It's a great fit for independent remote workers seeking a European base without breaking the bank, though there's also a moderate and welcoming community if you look for it. Internet is generally fast and reliable, perfect for video calls and uploads. However, while English is understood in tourist areas, venturing into local life often requires a bit more effort, as general English proficiency isn't always high. Don't expect everyone to speak your language.
