Vlorรซ

Albania

I'm with my gf, Vlore is safe city. Tons of Italians here, Albanian people are great. Food is cheap, you can find great pizza here But In season from June to August it's overpriced. In September prices is 3x times lower.

Small, comfortable, and green city! Beautiful mountains around, clean air. 1 hour by bus to the sea or 2 hours by bus to the great mountains Perfect place to work on weekdays and spend weekends in the sea or mountains. People said that it can be very hot in summer

A very leisurely city with a beautiful walking street in the center. Here you feel very comfortable, you can reach any place on foot. Belgrade can be reached by high-speed train in 40 minutes. Quite a lot of delicious restaurants despite the size of the city. There are many wineries in the neighboring village

Really an overpriced and overcrowded city. I'd spend here 1-week max to see the main sights. The food is great. Transport is awful, including taxis.

Hikkaduwa

Sri Lanka

It was my second time in Sri Lanka and it's a great experience for surfing and spending vacation, but an awful experience for a remote worker. Every day you can expect that the electricity will be turned off for 2-6 hours. People on the beach are very aggressive and try to squeeze all the money out of you. The service is terrible - the quality can change every time, sometimes you can wait for 2 hours for food. I strongly advise you to come and spend a week surfing, go to the center of the island for another week and visit the old towns. And leave

    The city is quite pleasant. There are some good streets to walk. It never feels crowded, except the most touristic areas. Architecture is interesting (but nothing to write home about) in a small touristic area, outside of it it's mostly ugly Soviet-era apartment blocks and ramshackle small houses. A couple of years ago the city was cheap, but now it's more expensive than many European cities and Asian capitals. When it was cheap, it was nice to stay there despite its drawbacks. Now it is very q

    Wasn't a huge fan of Mui Ne. Looks like most of the place is catering to Russian midrange tourists. The sand dunes are pretty cool, make sure to visit them, but wear covering clothes in order to not get badly sunburned.

    I liked Ho Chi Minh City a lot. It has all of the convivences one could expect from the city except for an MRT system which as of September 2022, they are in the middle of building one anyway. Things are affordable although I have noticed a tamer street food scene compared to other places in Vietnam like Hanoi. Seems to be making more room for higher end dining but affordability is still easy. HCMC without a doubt has some great nightlife, so party animals are going to be very happy here. I am s

I tried many restaurants but mostly the food is not very good and the service is depressingly bad.

    The most vietnamese city in Vietnam. The Old Quarter and West Lake are the highlights. If you come, try the egg coffee. Be mindful Vietnam has cracked down on visas, and it is not as friendly to foreigners. I was able to relax after I received a 5-year spousal visa.

However, there are some really good restaurants. Inland you can find some nice hiking spots and viewpoints (they're not easy to find). The waterfalls are nice if you hike further up them away from the piles of trash left by the locals. We stayed at Phu Quoc ecolodge which was stun

    Iโ€˜ve spent a couple of days in Batumi in Sep. โ€˜21. First the cost of living is waaay lower than what nomad list says. You can rent a nice serviced apartment with sea view for 29โ‚ฌ/Day. People barely speak english in Batumi and there is not a lot going on (compared to Tbilisi). It is a nice place, if you want to live very cheap, safe, enjoy sea views and like modern buildings. However keep in mind, it is a small city, so there is not a lot going on.
