Tel Aviv
World-famous nightlife scene
🌍Tel Aviv
Pros
- +Directly on the Mediterranean with long sandy beaches and a seafront promenade that works for sunrise runs and sunset laptop sessions
- +One of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the Middle East with bars, clubs and live music every night of the week
- +Very strong tech and startup ecosystem with plenty of meetups, accelerators and English-friendly networking
- +Fast fibre internet and competitive broadband market, with Israel ranked among the world's leaders for fixed speeds
Cons
- −Cost of living is extremely high for the region – rents, eating out and going out can rival Western European capitals
- −Regional security situation and recent conflicts add a layer of risk and occasional travel advisories
- −Summers are very hot and humid, with strong sun and sticky nights along the coast
- −Beachfront and central neighbourhoods are crowded in peak season and during holidays
🇮🇩Ubud (Bali)
Pros
- +Lower cost of living than Western cities with comfortable lifestyle from around 1,500–2,200 USD per month depending on villa and extras
- +Several established coworking spaces such as Outpost Ubud, Outpost Penestanan, Beluna and Ubud.Space with reliable high speed internet
- +Strong digital nomad and expat community with multiple Facebook groups and regular meetups across Bali
- +Excellent café scene with many laptop friendly spots serving good coffee, smoothie bowls and vegan food
Cons
- −Traffic can be congested on the narrow roads around the centre, especially at peak hours
- −Sidewalks are inconsistent or broken, so walking can be tiring and not always safe at night
- −Air quality can dip during regional burning season and on very busy traffic days
- −You generally need a scooter or frequent taxis or Gojek rides to move efficiently
