📰 WHAT’S HAPPENING
▸ He Left Corporate, Edited College Essays, and Made $220K Last Year Carter Osborne didn’t build a startup or raise capital. He quit his PR director job to help high school seniors write better college application essays — and in his first full year, cleared over $220K, sometimes working as few as 10 hours a week. The key: he niched down hard (essays only, nothing else) and turned his competitors into a referral network instead of fighting them for market share.
▸ Europe’s New Biometric Border System Is Fully Live As of April 10, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is operational across all 29 Schengen countries. Passport stamps are out; fingerprints and facial scans are in. If you’ve been playing loose with the 90/180-day rule, those days are now tracked digitally and precisely. Time to recalculate your plans.
🌍 CITY SPOTLIGHT
▸ Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬
One of Europe’s most underrated nomad bases — and it just got more interesting. Bulgaria launched a new digital nomad permit this year with a reputation for straightforward applications. The timing matters: Bulgaria joined Schengen in 2025, which means tourist days now count toward your 90-day clock. The permit fixes that cleanly. Monthly budget of €900–€1,400 gets you full EU infrastructure, fiber internet in the global top 10, and Eastern European prices. Finish your workday and you’re hiking Vitosha Mountain within the hour. It’s still early — get there before it gets obvious. → Book Flights and Hotels · Explore experiences
▸ Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪
Still one of the best-value bases anywhere. Citizens of 95+ countries get a full year visa-free, and $1,000/month covers a solid life here: good apartment, incredible food, rooftop wine bars and all. Spring is the sweet spot, and the coworking scene is thriving. → Book Flights and Hotels · Explore experiences
🛠️ Nomad Essentials
▸ Spirit's routes do not vanish — they shift to other carriers and prices move fast when that happens. Aviasales searches across carriers and builds multi-city itineraries that most booking engines miss. Worth a check if Spirit was anywhere in your summer plans.
▸ Thinking about Central Asia — Georgia, or beyond? Connectivity can be patchy and SIM logistics annoying on arrival. Airalo covers 200+ countries including the full Central Asian and Caucasus region, activates before you land, and saves the airport fumble entirely.
