πŸ’‘ Choosing Your Neighborhood

πŸŒ™

Match your schedule. Quiet areas for early risers, lively ones for night owls who work late and thrive in evening energy.

πŸ’»

Check coworking proximity. Walking distance to cafes and spaces matters a lot after a few weeks of settling in.

🏠

Try before committing. Book 1-2 weeks first before longer stays. Every neighborhood feels different at night.

πŸ’¬

Ask the community. Join local nomad groups for recent tipsβ€”neighborhoods change faster than any guide.
