Who said you need the city when you’re a digital nomad, a remote worker, a freelancer or an entrepreneur? FALSE. All you need is a comfy room, a quiet desk and a very good internet.

But there is another thing that the new digital nomads haven’t noticed yet but the old ones already feel this gap, all you need is…LOVE. Okay, so cliché! But this is true! We now live in a world well-connected with various devices per person, a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop and a even maybe a gopro. We speak to our international friends or colleagues 24/7 due to the time zone difference, we know people from Australia, Chile, Canada, Netherlands, Turkey and some more, but at the end of the day, unless you share this experience with your partner, you are alone. Alone, because a digital nomad is leaving one place for another in a certain period of time, that means creating very good friendships and bonds, but also endless tears at the goodbye morning checkout. Why? Because a digital nomad is a solo-traveler working from his laptop, checking in hostels, hotels or airbnbs and living his life alone. Not lonely because he is surrounded by this most often virtual community through Zoom, Slack, Facebook, Instagram etc, but alone because he cannot rely on anyone else but himself.

Long story short, this was to explain to you that what any digital nomad needs, no matter his personality, introvert, extrovert, a digital nomad needs a place to feel like it’s his family for a while. A family he can rely on when comes Christmas Eve and he has no plans, it’s his birthday and his friends are far away, it’s Friday night and nobody’s around for a pub crawl. Like back home. This concept of family helps him feel relaxed and happy in a stress-free atmosphere, enticing him to develop his creativity and productivity on his work project. Because let’s face it. Raise your hand the one who’s going to tell me he is more productive alone at home than in a co-workspace surrounded with creative and like-minded people, on a long-term basis? NONE. It is proved, getting your butt at a co-workspace increases your efficiency, productivity and creativity rate, plus helps you meet new people within the same community that can help you with some tips or advice, or even become your mentor.

Now, let’s picture it, you’re in Panama or Ecuador and your next destination on travel is Colombia. Googling “the best spot for digital nomads in colombia” and the results show Medellin, the new digital hub. Right, indeed the growing city of Colombia, you’ve seen Narcos on Netflix and have heard that the best parties are on weekends in Zona Rosa.
