Digital Nomad Guide to Bansko
Chances are, as a digital nomad, you've heard of Bansko. The nomad community exploded here, all thanks to Coworking Bansko, but that is not the only reason why people decide to stay long term.
As a great destination all year round, Bansko not only has amazing hikes in summer, but also over 70km of slopes, and it is also the cheapest ski resort in Europe.
We explored it for a few months, and we have some tips, places, and highlights for you all!

Riding the last narrow-gauge Train in Bulgaria
มุมมอง 9564 ปีที่แล้ว
We are staying in the remote village of Razlog, in the Bulgarian mountains, so we have to rely on some pretty interesting ways of transport. Going to Bansko, the next village, we always take the last running narrow gauge train on the Balkans, which stops at stations which haven't been renovated since Soviet times. Walking around, we also spotted some Soviet public toilets, an abandoned wooden t...
How a traditional Bulgarian Washing Machine works
มุมมอง 3594 ปีที่แล้ว
On the base of the Pirin Mountains, lays the small town of Razlog. On this tour of the village Manu and I discover some interesting things about the ways of living in this valley including an old communal washing machine, a true piece of history still standing.

Exploring a Secret Soviet Nuclear Bunker in Bulgaria
มุมมอง 2.2K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Who would have though that on a simple hike through the Bulgarian mountains we would stumble upon 3 soviet era nuclear bunkers built for the case of disaster in the cold war? This lost place was used to shield from nuclear bomb attacks but lays now abandoned and decaying, covered by overgrowth. Join us on a tour of theses underground tunnels in the forests of Bulgaria.

Digital Nomad Guide to Bratislava
มุมมอง 7554 ปีที่แล้ว
Digital nomads, this one is for you! If you, like us, like to explore lesser known cities with not much DN action going on yet, you might find the capital of Slovakia interesting. We spent a week there, trying to see all there is to see, and getting some work done at the same time, and we made this guide for everyone looking for more info about how alright Bratislava is for nomads. We have some...
Discover the LOCAL FOOD from the Bulgarian Mountains
มุมมอง 7164 ปีที่แล้ว
If you ever struggled getting access to some local food whenever you travel, we are with you. It might be quite a hassle searching for local markets, small specialised shops, or organic producers, but staying away from the supermarket as much as possible can be a great choice for the conscious traveller. We recently made our way to the Bulgarian mountains where we will be spending the winter se...
Portuguese tries Slovak food in Bratislava
มุมมอง 4.4K4 ปีที่แล้ว
All the way from sunny Portugal, right into the cold depths of central Europe! We are in Slovakia, and trying to discover as much as we can in one week. Claudio travels to a true Siberian winter country for the first time, and he is really not into the freezing weather. But besides the cold and perpetual fog that seems to cover Bratislava at the moment, we still got to enjoy some of the best kn...
Abandoned village in Portugal - Serra da Lousã
มุมมอง 10K4 ปีที่แล้ว
You probably associate Portugal with sun and beach, but this country is so much more than that. I took a trip that is a bit out of the ordinary, and visited a place I've never been to before, despite it being so close to home. In Serra da Lousã we visited 3 of the 17 schist villages, Chiqueiro, Casal Novo and Talasnal. To finish the day, we tried some local food, sheep cheese, "chanfana" old go...
This is not in Asia - Buddha Eden
มุมมอง 1404 ปีที่แล้ว
You wouldn't expect Buddhas laying around a park in Portugal would you? Well neither did we, but the Bacalhôa Buddha Eden Park is one of the peculiar sights of a country that is as far from Buddhism as possible, so we had to check it out. The story goes that a Portuguese rich man collected all these Buddha statues, contemporary pieces, and anything in between, to create a little Eastern oasis i...
Mud Volcanos of Qobustan 🇦🇿
มุมมอง 1594 ปีที่แล้ว
One of the best day trips from Baku will only take you about 60km southwest of the capital city, but the difference in the landscape is astounding. Azerbaijan's semi desert might be a barren land, but with a lot hiding within it. We visited the Qobustan National Park with its famed ancient carvings (petroglyphs) and discovered a little bit about the lifestyle of Palaeolithic people in the regio...
Shirvanshah, The Museum Restaurant from Baku 🇦🇿
มุมมอง 1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Azerbaijan is a muslim country, so we couldn't miss paying a visit to one of its nicest mosques, the Bibi Heybat Mosque which is built right next to the highway to offer a quick and easy pray stop. To contrast the religious start of the day, we then had a look at the first ever oil drill in the world, still preserved and displayed where it once pumped the first drops of the black liquid which t...
The biggest Flea Market in Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
มุมมอง 3.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Another day another market in the streets of Baku. This time we ventured outside the city centre into the suburban Sabunchi market, the biggest flea market in Azerbaijan. Live poultry next to Lenin busts, old beds and fresh produce sold from car trunks were just a few of the things on offer. Later on Manu gave a Yoga lesson to the locals. Lets be friends on Instagram @claudiosilva89 @manumanimi...
What's inside Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Center? 🇦🇿
มุมมอง 2.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This time, we discovered everything there is to discover at the very beautiful, and very confusing- Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Center. From contemporary art to miniature Azerbaijani monuments, dolls from around the world, archeological excavations, or musical instruments from the region, the museum was a dazzling mix of everything that had nothing to do with each other. And Claudio's favourite ...

Manu doesn't enjoy this visit to a traditional market in Baku where we see all sorts of different meats, cheeses inside goat skins and lots of caged animals like puppies, monkeys and turtles. To decompress we go for a traditional Azeri (Goat) Opera with some interesting results.

    Hi guys ! i was even thinking of buying an apartment in Bansko, setup a company(online business) and live there, cost is pretty low so it's appealing. But it does seem much less lively than a place like Sofia and I am afraid it can get a bit boring. Would you recommend it over Sofia or other places in Bulgaria ? (as a good combination between business and life?)

    great video, thanks. This story of the fresh air is super important to me. Thanks for letting me know. If you can tell me more about it, would be awesome. You know, I follow the coworking, I see they have lots of social activities, which is great. I d sign up just to be able to participate to the events, connect with others, get to know ideas, enlarge my network etc hahha. To work in a room where there is so many people and maybe even noisy, i prefer to work quietly at home. I have to say i have never been in a coworking before. It seems to have pros and contras.

    • @claudioduartesilva
