We first have to note that different people have different definitions of what a digital nomad (DN) is. Therefore, it is not very surprising to see that there are different answers to the question above! 

We found a first estimate about the number of DNs: 

Then, we thought: most DNs look for a place to work and most of the time, this is either a coworking space or a nice café. 

So, how many coworking spaces are there? 

According to the Statista Research Department from November 4, 2020, there were 26,300 coworking spaces in the world in 2020. Their sizes vary a lot, but let’s assume that each coworking space can host in average 80 people.

This is only a wild guess, but if we keep this reasoning, that would lead to 2,104,000 people globally.

If you have any statistics on the topic that are more accurate, please share them with us. Thanks in advance!

The trend of having a life of a digital nomad is getting only greater by the day. Our founders and digital nomads Philippe and Patrice had an interview with RTL and talked about the daily life of digital nomads in Croatia. So what’s the government’s, business and digital nomad’s perspective of view of this relatively new phenomenon? Check this video out:)

The first Croatian digital nomad is Melissa Paul from America. She is a social media manager and blog editor. She was the first to apply and now lives and works in Istria. And who are the digital nomads? These are the ones who can work anywhere in the world. All they need is a laptop and a good internet connection. There will be more and more of them because, from this year, Croatia is giving them one-year visas. 

Patrice and Philippe are living their dream now. Ever since they decided four years ago to change their lifestyle and become digital nomads. They combine the comfortable with the useful.


Patrice Séjalon
I feel so free now. It’s fantastic. It’s kind of normal to be in a place which is like Split and it’s amazing. And yet, you’re also working.

They lived all over the world but Split is an ideal place for them. They have been here since October.


Philippe Séjalon
There’s beautiful weather, nice people and it’s a cosy place with amazing nature. So we feel home.

Although their job requires good organization, they also like to be a part of the life of the local community.

I love picigin and we also love doing yoga. Yoga on Sustipan and yoga on the beach here. Running and doing yoga is what we really love.

Along with two brothers from France, Split is an increasingly common choice for life and work. 


Toni Trivković
Digital nomads from around the world. People call, looking for information. Are there co-working spaces in Split? Where we can meet locals? And what we decided in the association itself is, to here one person to help. With creating content so that these foreigners can integrate more quickly into the local community. And so that they could stay in the same community longer.

The state took care of it by introducing visas with special conditions for digital nomads.


Jan De Jong
Currently, we are working with the ministry of interior and the ministry of tourism together on developing one website where all the information will be available so that digital nomads will know what is the requirement that they need to read in order to apply.

This will make it easier for travelling businessman to decide for our country. 


Martina Nimac Kalcina
Given that they are very grateful, given that they are very good guests. Both neat and responsible. I think it’s an extremely good opportunity to take advantage of and host such people. Visa applications should start in March.

Our founders Philippe and Patrice had an interview with RTL and shared their insights about being a digital nomad and the digital transformation of companies these days.   

They’ve been digital nomads since 2013, discovering positive effects on company management. With the help of proper plans and the right people, digital nomad and remote work will contribute to delivering an engaging culture, enhancing innovation and even reducing some companies’ costs, such as the office rental. 

Before we look into digitization, what is a digital nomad, or “DN” as we say in the community?   

There are several definitions, but one might argue that a DN is a professional who moves around three times in a year under their own steam, rather than at an employer’s request. Let’s go with that definition for now. 🙂  

So, how can this nomadic lifestyle link to digitization and companies?

Go lean. Streamline processes.   

It’s a good time to change.  As a digital nomad, you can only carry that much in your luggage. Every single item, even an extra piece of paper has a cost. Hence most things should be digital.   

Almost a year into a monumental shift to work-from-home, business leaders are more convinced about the productivity gains achieved. The success of remote work has reimagined how corporate work gets done, as well as where the work takes place.   

Remote work has been an immense success for both employees and employers. 83% of employers now say the shift to remote work has been successful for their company1).  

You can embrace an even more engaging culture by putting digitization at the core of your business.  

Attract more talents by digitizing your company.  

A lot of young real talents have made the step to become digital nomads. And even more of them are daydreaming of it. We have met a lot of them in coworking spaces around the world. They are brilliant. They are highly motivated. It is perceptible that lots of companies only providing traditional workplaces are losing their attractiveness towards them since they’re not embracing geographic or working hours flexibility. Why not living in the Caribbean, working at night and enjoying surfing during the afternoon?! We did this for a few months and enjoyed it tremendously. No need for holidays after this, although we did work a lot.   

By digitizing the company, you will embrace the flexibility that most employees (and some employers) have been craving. It is likely to transform a company’s culture into a more creative and engaging one.  

Some next topics we could share with you with pleasure are,  

• What are the benefits of remote work from a company’s point of view?  
• What are the new opportunities for digitization under the era of the pandemic?  
• How can you advance your team to be more inspired, forward-thinking and ready to solve complex tasks by adopting remote work.   
• How can you reduce cost and improve HR management by allowing your team to work remotely?  
• Challenges to be a digital nomad and how did we overcome them.

Looking forward to your comments. 🙂
