The first time we landed in Paris, Chris and I knew that we’d be back. After all, who can land in Charles de Gaule without wanting to explore this gorgeous city? We were on our way to Croatia and didn’t have the time to head downtown, but we promised each other we’d come back. Then a few months later, I asked my sister if she wanted to visit us in Europe and told her she could either join us in Sofia for a week, or we could meet her in Paris and spend a week there. She had already made …

Cost of Living in Sofia, Bulgaria
After living in a few cities across the globe, Sofia is definitely one of my favorite ones! It’s a great place for digital nomads, it’s pretty, but most most importantly: it’s cheap! Nothing beats a nice cheap city. How did we end up choosing Sofia over any other place? We used the same pattern we do with most places: we found an apartment that suited our needs in here. We didn’t know much about the city before coming here. We had a bit of a bad experience with our apartment, which we thought was pretty nice, but didn’t end up …
Why Sofia Is the Perfect Destination For Digital Nomads
Of all the places we’ve been so far, there isn’t one that screams ‘Digital Nomad’ more than Sofia.

The food is also almost half of what we were paying in Greece, which is an amazing …
Discovering Sofia: An Eastern European Jewel
When we decided to go live in Greece for a while, we were expecting to pay less than average for an EU country. Well, when we started checking our bank account daily and seeing all our money disappear because of food, we had to adjust. No, we weren’t going to starve ourself, so we decided it was better for our budget to move. And our tourist visa was running to an end anyway, so we needed to get out of the Schengen Zone. When we chose to go to Sofia, we weren’t expecting much. For us, it was going to …
Visiting the Greek Islands: A Day on Hydra
Who could spend two months in Athens and not visit at least one island? Definitely not us! Even though we had to spend a lot of time working on our business and staying in our apartment, we decided one day to take a day off and discover that one island we heard a lot about. The one thing we heard the most about Hydra, before going there, was that there were no cars on the island. And by no cars, people meant that cars were almost non-existent because there’s still the unusual garbage truck that will drive around the island. …
