Romania - A Digital Nomad’s Haven
Let me introduce you to one of the most underrated gems in Europe: Romania!
I spent 3 weeks in Romania in May/June, and I cannot get enough of this amazing country!
From the people to the food to the stunning landscapes and, most importantly, reliable WiFi(!), I'm in awe of this wonderful country and can't believe more people haven't discovered this slice of heaven.
Disclaimer: No one is paying me to promote Romania or any of the links below, these are purely ones I want to shout about because they’re great. But if the Romanian government want to pay me, I’d gladly take it! ;)
So, why Romania, you ask? (As though my personal validation isn't enough 🤪)
1. Affordable Living
Compared to a lot of places in Europe, you'll find accommodation, food, and entertainment much more affordable. This means you can enjoy a high quality of life without breaking the bank.
2. Stunning Scenery
From the mountains to the beaches along the Black Sea, Romania offers a diverse range of natural landscapes. Whether you love hiking, skiing, or just soaking up the sun, there’s something for everyone. Check out this area, a planned UNESCO site.
3. Rich Culture and History
Romania is steeped in history, with medieval castles, ancient churches, and charming villages that seem frozen in time.
4. Vibrant Cities
If you are more of a city person, you will appreciate cities like Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Brasov, bustling with energy. The cities offer a perfect mix of modern amenities and historical charm, from trendy cafes to coworking spaces to one of the biggest spas in the world!
I love Romania so much that I flew my mum and sister in to treat them to one of the biggest spas in the world!
5. Internet Connectivity
Not only is reliable and fast Wifi readily available almost everywhere, but 4G & 5G are too! I had a much better connection than I have done in the UK, that’s for sure- even in the countryside.
6. THE PEOPLE!!
People who say remote work is lonely have clearly never been to Romania!! I had the pleasure of experiencing the country’s hospitality firsthand and met so many amazing people. After months on the road, I decided to choose a quaint little village town called Costești to spend some time. My Airbnb hosts, Maria and Ioan became friends, and their family who has the farmhouse next door made me feel right at home.
Their warmth and willingness to help, coupled with a genuine interest in sharing their culture, and most importantly… feeding me good food every day, was the absolute cherry on top of my sundae during my time in Romania.
Their cottage provided all the amenities I needed to stay productive, including high-speed internet, a comfortable workspace, and a tranquil setting that boosted my productivity. If you're looking for an Airbnb for your stay in Romania, remember to hit Maria up at her Airbnb.
Oh, and there are some pretty cool Glamping Pods nearby too. Check them out here.
Romania is so much more than just a picturesque backdrop. It’s a place where you can immerse yourself in new experiences, meet interesting people, and create lasting memories.
If you’re looking for a destination that combines affordability, beauty, rich culture, and good food (this is my third time talking about food, you get the idea!), Romania should be at the top of your list!
Want to know how to land a remote job so you can start working from Romania too?
Or anywhere else you like for that matter…
