📰 WHAT’S HAPPENING
▸ Fastest Growing Digital Nomad Hotspots of 2026 Nomads.com just updated its live global rankings using data from 400K+ trips, and the usual suspects are losing ground. Belgrade over Barcelona. Da Nang over Bali. Buenos Aires making a serious run. If you’ve been eyeing somewhere off the beaten path, the data is backing you up.
▸ Europe's Real Nomad Boom Is in the Second Cities Lisbon and Barcelona are still fine, but the smart money is moving east. Belgrade, Tirana, and Sofia are pulling nomads who want solid infrastructure, low cost of living, and a community that feels real. Nomad Cloud breaks down which cities are rising fastest and why the shift is sticking.
🌍 CITY SPOTLIGHT
▸ Naples, Italy 🇮🇹
With the Italian DNV live, Naples makes a surprisingly strong base. More affordable than Rome or Florence, great food, fast trains north, and a coastline that makes the workday easier to close. Spring is the right window before the heat arrives. → Book Flights and Hotels · Explore experiences
▸ Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪
Georgia lets most nationalities stay up to a year, visa-free. Tbilisi has cheap rent, fast internet, a deep nomad scene, and a food and wine culture that genuinely surprises people. May is a good month to land — warm and walkable before peak summer. → Book Flights and Hotels · Explore experiences
