Lagos, Portugal: A perfect Hotspot For Digital Nomads.
Lagos really has it all- with over 300 days of sunshine, top notch surfing, breathtaking scenery and a vibrant nightlife. This is enough to make anyone consider checking out the immigration laws to move here!
Coming from a Digital Nomad’s perspective, it gets even better than that! With numerous internet cafe’s, great coffee, a co-working spot, central location and cheap rent- it is a perfect hotspot for a digital nomad wanting to set up roots for a decent period of time.
Central Location
Since I have been here, I have been planning trips to Morocco, Spain, Switzerland and more! Traveling within Europe is incredibly cheap, and each destination has its own individual culture, history and so much to explore!
Breathtaking Scenery
Lagos is situated within a STUNNING UNESCO world heritage site. The picturesque views with the multi-hued sandstone cliffs and caves in bright contrast with the tropical turquoise blue waters is enough to make anyone postpone their return ticket and stay longer!
Affordable Cost Of Living
Especially in the off season, which just after or before the summer, accommodation is cheap. If you plan your grocery shopping well, and hit up the farmer’s market (behind the bus station) on Saturday, then you are golden for saving money on groceries. As for drinks, well… a great bottle of wine costs you about 4 euros. That alone to me is heaven!
Great Internet connection
There are numerous cute little cafe’s to get your work done and people watch at the same time. The wifi connection is pretty strong, and so are the coffees! (haha)
Two of my favorite cafe’s to work at are London Tiger Cafe and Viva Cafe. London Tiger has a cute ambiance, and dairy free/gluten free options. Viva has a printer there for you to use at your convenience, which is perfect when you do not have your own office.
There is also a Co-Working spot here, called Centro-Lagos, which if I was here longer I would join! Check out my blog on how Co-Working spaces can help you thrive as a Digital Nomad!
Great Fitness Facilities
I have signed up to CrossFit Lagos, which is located within the local Recreation Centre in Lagos. With the (very affordable) membership, this gives you access to both CrossFit, the gym, the pool, and many other classes!
If you are more of a nature fitness enthusiast, Lagos has that too!! National Geographic Labeled Lagos in the top 20 places in the entire world to SURF!
No matter your interests, from witnessing stunning scenery, to consuming delicious wine, to working online-Lagos has it all!
With love, health and Happiness,

They satisfy their lust for traveling and mobility by exploring benefits of advanced technology.I hope that this will not sound like an overstatement, but for me they are somewhere in between Marco Polo and Bill Gates, although with much less wealth than Gates and ability to travel much further and quicker than Marco Polo did, in the time when horse carriage and feet were the only available means of transport.Digital nomads tend to do work on various positions and projects while traveling.
Although since their way of life also has a wide set of limitations they usually choose some of these occupations:Design- logos, websites, commercials, banners etc.Writing- travel writing, creative writing, content writing, copywriting etc.Digital marketing- running AdWords and Facebook campaigns, community management etc.Programming- building apps, writing code etc.Various entrepreneurship projects- selling various types of online services, founding startup companies around different tech gizmos, etc.Benefits of Leading a Digital Nomad LifestyleThe digital nomad lifestyle comes with many benefits.
Some of them are very obvious, like a chance to see exotic lands, while some others are known only to people who once in their life decided to say goodbye to their family and friends, and sail off with a laptop in their lap.
These are some of them:Flexible work hours- this is the same for most freelancers, but digital nomads are known for using their free time in much more creative ways.
They are earning Western salaries and living in countries with much lower prices;Coworking SpacesAlthough it sounds like digital nomads are working from buses, trains, tops of desserts dunes and jungles, they have much more comfortable work spaces.
This trend grew so big recently that there is a special kind of accommodation called a coworking hostel, made to satisfy all digital nomads’ needs.You can find these establishments in many big cities across popular digital nomad destinations, like Thailand, Indonesia, and India and in some places like Amsterdam, there are whole neighborhoods inhabited by digital nomads.Digital Nomads and EntrepreneurshipAlthough all other types of online work bring appreciable income and leave you with more time to explore places you visit, after working your 4, 6 or 8-hour shift, I somehow got caught up with nomad entrepreneurship.
A new age space for the ‘Digital Nomads’, these office spaces has come as a breather for various startups as well as independent businesses, giving them the enthusiasm and the motivation to take their business to the next level.
Here are some ways that will help you build a good rapport and nurture your relationship with your coworkers.
