Relocation is a very familiar concept to remote workers because they don’t need to live in a place for long periods of time. They can take their work along with them anywhere. If you think of remote workers as a community, there are of course certain things they prioritize before moving to a place such as the speed of the internet or access to quiet and peaceful cafes.
Most of the remote workers have the same concerns and considerations, and there is a reason that places preferred by them are mostly the same. Do you want to see some of these places that remote workers are moving to? Follow along.
Where are remote workers moving to?
After the pandemic, frequent relocation and traveling while working have been normal for most digital workers. According to Politico, some urban areas gained residents during the pandemic and most of these residents were remote workers. There is no doubt that they have a pattern when they choose a place to move to. Here is a list of some of the most popular ones.
1-) Portugal
If you’re looking for a prosperous, welcoming, and modern country (like most people do), good news; Portugal scores well in almost every area including health, safety, and access to technology. What’s more is that this country is sunny almost all year, especially in the capital Lisbon.
There are also great coworking spaces and hundreds of digital nomads already since Portugal stands out in recent years for digital workers. You will not feel isolated as a remote worker, but if you need a little bit of alone time, you can go to more quiet cities such as Porto or Algarve. Portugal has it all.

2-) Poland
Poland is also a modern European country, which can be a great place for a remote worker to move to. You can stay in Poland to benefit from geo-arbitrage, since it’s almost 50% more affordable than the US, and still enjoy the rest of Europe.
The speed of the internet is satisfactory and sufficient for all professions, cafes are great, and Poland has a great cultural heritage which makes your time in the country worth even more. Poland is overall a great choice for individuals who want to travel but also save some money on the side.
3-) Sweden
Sweden is one of the countries that almost all people would like to live in. They have the best healthcare and education system in the world, they have a robust infrastructure, and the quality of life is off the charts.
Of course, normally, a person would need a job in Sweden to move there, but as a remote worker, you can enjoy this great country without having to find a local job. Living in Sweden can be a mind-blowing experience with great people, amazing scenes, and welfare that is not matched.
4-) Germany
Germany is one of the remote working capitals of the world at the moment. They offer digital nomad visas, they are the leading country in Europe, and we don’t even have to mention the standard of life and public services in the country.
But one of the most important reasons Germany is among the most popular remote work destinations is its location. It is connected to almost all European countries with easy access roads. It’s also good to include that Germany has been leading the race of drawing digital nomads for some years, so the chances are you will meet similar individuals and inspire each other.
5-) Estonia
Estonia is a great Baltic state with a great culture and history. This country recently has been popular among digital professionals, and there are good reasons for it. Moving to Estonia for remote work professionals was always easier than in other countries, but now, they have a special Estonian Digital Nomad Visa.
The capital Tallinn is already filled with digital nomads, and like most Easter European countries, you can save some money by living in Estonia too. You can meet with these nomads, enjoy working together, learn about Estonian culture and put some money on the side while having fun.
6-) Spain
Just like Portugal, the Iberian Peninsula has another country to offer to all those remote workers; Spain. Spain is the neighboring country of Portugal, and the cost of living is about the same, being more affordable than the rest of Europe. But it only gets better; Spain is famous for its beaches and places that people usually go for a vacation.
Thanks to the incredible internet speed and remote-worker-friendly culture of the country, you can get yourself a Sangria, enjoy the beautiful weather, and get inspired to do your job. They also offer digital nomad visas, so getting into the country to move to is easier than ever.
