A small town in Bulgaria is attracting a new kind of visitor: digital nomads.
This alternative lifestyle, whereby people travel and work simultaneously, existed before the pandemic.
But since then, digital nomadism went from niche to normal - rejecting and redefining the traditional idea of work life.
For The New Reality, Krista Hessey takes us inside Bansko to discover what’s bringing hundreds of remote workers, including Canadians, to this quaint mountainside town.

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love

You can't "love" until you've played disc golf.

I honestly wish I was dead. Life is horrible, we’re born to eventually die and along the way we suffer with physical and emotional pain. One day we’re here and the next we’re gone, total darkness into the unknown. Why would God punish us like this?

@@fredstone5872 Life is great! Sure, we will die and we suffer, but there's also lots of joy. And when you die, if you were repentant, you're rewarded with eternal joy! Improve your life and pray to God if you want to be happy. Lots of people are, you can be too!

My rent in Vancouver BC for a Shoebox is $1500/mo and I'm rentlocked. The exact same unit in our Apartment building is now going for $2500🤦 CDN/mo -- Watching this, I can Appreciate you leaving Toronto for something financially greatly more efficient per dollar. The question is long term, the culture, the people, the language, the logistics, transportation and services, and government stability are a pinch Foggy . But economically speaking this is a very optimized way of living

I've been to Bansko and it's one of the best places to be, work with good wifi, eat well properly, workout and enjoy the nature. Anyone should check the mountain paradise in Bulgaria.

The idea of digital nomad is nice, but what makes me an impression is that most of these people are single. If you are family person with little kids things look different and more settled lifestyle is needed. Moreover its much convenient to work for lets say German, French or UK company and to get german or UK salary but to spend them in cheaper Bulgaria. Do you think that with bulgarian salary you can nomad in Sweden or Netherlands for longer time? So for me digital nomading is suitable for single young people who wants travel for some time and spend their incomes in cheaper countries

They are from different countries and speak different languages. They live in their own bubble, stranded in mental isolation although sitting by other human beings.

Bansko is the most overrated place in comparison with every other town in Bulgaria.The prices are the same as in Sofia and these means 150 to 200 % higher as the bulgarian average. Number two there is no hiking possible, the town is 12 km away from the first mountain hut and in the expensive winter season the gondola is overruned by tourists. Bansko is good for developers of new buildings, to sell them and rent them expensively enough to make money, the place is the middle of the PIRIN, the next major hospital is an hour away in Blagoevgrad...this place is highest over the top

Looks like a lovely place but I wouldn't want to be around any of those people, or share living spaces with them. Yuck/gross. No thank you.

@Yavor0971 8 месяцев назад

Which people?

@FreshLyte 8 месяцев назад

@@Yavor0971 all the people you have to share the common spaces with/live with. Not for me, no thanks.

That's an interesting perception. I have been a digital nomad since 1993. I have never shared a living space. I don't work in coworking spaces. I work in my own private spaces. I still enjoy socializing with other digital nomads because we often have lots in common though we are from different countries and cultures. I've been in Bansko. I found that the nomad community there makes it a much more welcoming place to be. To each his own.
