Internet connection is stable. Mobile broadband speed in range of 3-7 Mbps from home (10 km from center of Tashkent), fiber-optics connection is also stable - up to 50 Mbps at the daytime (from 12 pm till 12 am) and up to 200 Mbps at night (from 12 am till 12 pm)

Delicious food, which is also cheap. Lots of cafes and restaurants. Activities are various: bazar visit, trip to nearby mountains, “chayxana” - traditional Uzbek tea house/restaurant, clubbing, horse riding. Beautiful subway which resembles the one in Moscow. Groceries are of high quality. Most people speak Russian, and are nice to foreigners. Almost no crime. It’s difficult to drive around, because of local driving culture. Thus, it’s better to move around on taxi which is cheap. City is somewhat multinational with majority being Uzbek. Society is religious, yet the state is secular. “Foreigner-looking” people aren’t condemned for their outfit. All four seasons are present, yet the amount of sunny days in a year is very high.

Green is good. Red is bad. Values shown are the medians of all daily highs in a month based on past few years, not necessarily current numbers. Remote worker count is estimated based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

400 remote workers in Tashkent now, of which 2+ members checked in (some members are set to private)

Members who will be here soon

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
