2020

island

Spent summer 2020 on Hvar which turned into best summer ever in spite of the pandemic. The most friendly people, great food, beautiful beaches and for a few weeks.. fun nightclubs. All without the normal crush of tourists that would otherwise clog the place up. Made some lifelong friends on this trip and cannot wait to get myself back to Hvar in 2021.

And other than the time difference (stayed on NYC time), I had no issues working remotely from the island whatsoever. For the most part, I tethered from a local sim and was able to keep up video calls throughout the day...usually from a hammock somewhere on the island.

Hvar in 2020 really was paradise island. 10/10 recommend.

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. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital 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.
