Turquoise blue water, fantastic beaches, fresh coconuts and friendly people – well, doesn’t that sound wonderful? And best of all: all of this can be combined with your work as a digital nomad. Let’s find out what the the Philippines have to offer for digital nomads!
The Philippines is an island nation in Southeast Asia and consists of over 7,000 small and large islands. The climate is tropical and warm all year round. There is a rainy season from June to November and the dry season is from January to March. Thanks to the high temperatures, the water is pleasantly warm almost everyday. Here you can swim, snorkel and dive as you wish.
In the Philippines, there are many different places to live and work. In big cities like Cebu, Manila or Makati there are plenty of coworking spaces where you can work as a digital nomad. Also, you can find cheap accommodations almost everywhere.
There are also many cafés that are great for working since there is a good WiFi connection. With a SIM card, which can be bought cheaply on site, you have internet all over the islands. If the big cities are too crowded or too loud to work, you can switch to a smaller island in no time and escape the urban jungle.
