Coming late November 2025

 

 

Saltwater Nomads have delivered over 100 events in the region. From rural experiences, to Michelin Guide dining meet ups… we’ve taken a break from the weekly meetups, and offer custom, small group experiences through the year. Mostly in partnership with tourist boards, municipalities and the Digital Nomad Association Croatia.

2024

We delivered the Vinomad experience in Central Istria – a week-long wine infused adventure around the charming medieval villages of the Istrian interior.

You can listen to the “Live and Work” Central Istria podcast – out now on Apple and Spotify.

2023

Gourmet Getaway was our main event in 2023, once again in the Central Istrian houses of prosciutto, sausage and wine. (And truffles).

Visit the Central Istria tourist board’s website for ideas on how you can experience a week, month or more in a foodie and hiker’s haven.

2022

Our highlight was advising on Tirana’s inaugural Digital Nomad Festival, with the support of Swiss EP. Tirana is a dynamic city, and Albania is proving an exciting destination for digital nomads, especially those doing the “Schengen shuffle”.

100+ Events

Having welcomed thousands of digital nomads in our time, we haven’t really had the time to post them all here. One day… one day, we’ll do a list in one spot. For now, check out Digital Nomad Association Croatia’s list of past events.
