good morning everyone and welcome back to my channel if you can't already tell it's a little
bit chillier in croatia i've got my jumper on today and i've also got my long trousers i think
we got the best of the good weather at the start of the week when we arrived unfortunately it is
raining um for the next few days for today's video i wanted to show you an insight into a digital
nomad life um croatia is really big for digital nomads there's a lot of working spaces and a lot
of digital nomads have relocated to here it isn't always the most obvious spot croatia for digital
nomads but we want to show you an insight on how it could be the best spot for digital nomads
so this morning leila and i are heading out to a hot spot that is highly recommended that has good
wi-fi which is of course essential for digital nomads and also has good at teasing copies which
again is something that we need this early in the morning so it's about a 25 minute walk from our
apartment so we're gonna get our laptops packed up chargers ready and then we're gonna head out
so got my body warmer on as it really is that cold outside we're packed up
ready to go so i'm going to pack the camera and we will see if we get there
so we are just in the canopy hilton um they have a workstation here with plugs and lights
we're gonna order some teas and we're gonna get
so we have just finished up doing some work we've been here for a few hours actually so now we're
gonna head back to upper town and we're gonna get some lunch we're gonna go to a mexican place
that we've really really enjoyed um so we're gonna head there for some lunch so we've just
finished at the hilton and now we're going to head to what is it called taquitos banditos yeah yeah
and we're gonna head there for mexican food we've been there once before and it was
probably the best food we've had in croatia so far um it's only street food it's so good and
really cheap as well and they do a lot of deals so we're gonna head there just now and last time
we ordered a bit too much food so this time we're gonna share a lot of it it was about a 20 minute
walk from where we are at the moment which is not too bad and once we've had some lunch we're going
to head back to our apartment to get a little bit more work done um because we got a lot done but
we're feeling really hungry and we really wanted the mexicans so we're going to go
have lunch and then we're going to get back to work so we're just walking by and there's
actually a whole map oh is it zagreb kazakh or just a town maybe the meantime we saw a big
massive map of the town and it was incredible so we got to see that there's a lot of tourists there
so we managed to squeeze in a little bit but now we're just heading to texas mexico texas taquitos
now we're just heading up to chiquito's banditos
and we're going to get some food so we are just at quito's banditos we're just going
to get some ordering done and i'm really hungry so i'm thinking we're going to share
a large quesadilla get some sweet potato fries and then we're going to get one more side to share
so
okay so we've just finished up our food i was so full the large quesadilla and
the fries each was more than enough last time we came here um we got way more than
that we've got quesadillas each we've got sides each so next time it's much better
and it's very cold today in zagreb as you maybe tell by my nose it's very red it's very cold here
so we're gonna head home just now get all warm in the house and we're gonna get a bit more work done
so i will see you back at the house so there's a big shortcut in zagreb which is these tunnels here
and we've gone for quite a while they're actually old bomb shelters and so we didn't realize that
we could get one directly from that restaurant to our house if we've been walking up a hill
and around so we've managed to go through the tunnel um and now we're gonna head back
it's
cold
okay so we are just ready we've been working a bit more when we came home
and we actually went to the nomad event a few days ago and we'd met quite a lot of people who
are currently digital nomads and zagreb so tonight we're going to go meet one of them
who was one of the key speakers at the event so i'm really excited as he has traveled a lot

his instagram but basically he's an ambassador for zagreb and digital nomads we're gonna go meet him
tonight again and get to speak to him one on one as we have a lot of questions um so we're really
excited we're gonna go to an indian restaurant that is again not a part of us nothing else and
we're gonna walk there just now and go meet ham go for a nice dinner and ask him all our questions
so we've just arrived at bombay grill and we're just meeting dean
hey i'm gonna link his instagram down below in the description and you can check out he's got a
really big community for digital nomads so if you are interested please check out his facebook and
instagram as well both facebook and instagram yes both i'll link both in the description so
we're just gonna order some food um and we're just gonna get chatting and asking lots of questions
so we've just finished our food i actually managed to eat all of my i'm very proud of myself so gone
um so now we're just sitting outside enjoying having some good chat diddy's telling us all
about his travels which is so interesting as you all know we've only just started our travels
um and he's been traveling for eight years so if you are looking to travel
anywhere in the world definitely check out his instagram as he's got a lot of experience
so we're just gonna sit here it's getting a little bit colder which is why we're wrapped up
um so hopefully it gets a bit warmer tomorrow okay so dean first question
how do you manage traveling so much do you not get stressed traveling all the time um well
i think it's the opposite the more i travel the more i want to travel you know just
constant stimulation new things new flavor new people new colors just amazing you want to
makes you want to explore more okay so you know i have a lot of energy
and the best part about the way i live my life is that i can stop whenever i want so if i'm ever
feel tired or fall in love with the place or a person i just park myself so oh okay i love it and
what about miss flights have you missed a lot of flights in your time through your own fault not
the flight being cans but have you missed a lot of like uh well i missed two flights while just
sitting in the airport reading a book or being on the phone so you're still in the airport
you're prepared it was unfair but it was not my fault but it was actually a really good book
that a friend of mine wrote and i just skipped few flights in the past like i had a ticket i had but
then i had so much fun i just decided to give the ticket up and stay another day or two in the city
oh yeah but typically i'm on time in life and for my flights okay a little spontaneous
okay and you've traveled mainly alone but have you traveled with people do you prefer
being alone can you be more spontaneous if you're by yourself so i think the right term
for me is i travel solo okay so i don't travel alone i mean always make friends
it's especially when you travel solo i think it's it's in our nature to connect with people we want
to share our story we want to listen to others um i stay a lot in hostels when i travel solo so it's
it's a great space to to meet um other travelers often traveling solo i think that it's really the
best part of my my trip you know the people i meet the stories i i meet with um it's the
opposite since i stayed a lot in hostels before so you sleep with another eight people in your room
in the room yeah yeah i work from co-working spaces surrounded by another hundred people
i barely have time for myself so when i finally alone it's actually it's a rare moment okay one
question for people who are working nine to five and who are kind of stuck in that corporate life
what advice would you give them to escape it i look at myself i'm scared it looks so good
just do it you know i i learned the the said way and life is short
and there's no reason to compromise there's no reason to do something you don't like
i'm not saying like with your job and and and go you know tomorrow it might be a good plan as well
if you need sometimes you need to be pushed over the cliff to to really jump and remember it's not
the the fall that uh kills you it's the stop so oh wow yeah like i believe in moving forward in
creating and doing there's no such thing failure a lot of people afraid of making this change because
they don't want to fail but there's no such thing failure that's like you make progress if you tried
something and it didn't meet the expectation or came out the way you wanted it just means that you
eliminated another option which is not for you um but you know eight years ago i was working in this
corporate five to nine sitting in an office and then just one day i decided that's it it's enough
i didn't have any plan but eight years later 100 countries later i'm i'm living the dream
i'm super happy i'm i meet amazing people everywhere i go and
i can't can't even imagine going back to where i was before like of course yeah so make the leap
make the leap and where can people find you watch your instagram watch your facebook drop your
handles what are they so you can just look me up where is dean i'm pretty easy to find to be honest
