The trend is only set to increase with data projections showing that 25% of all professional jobs in North America will be remote by the end of 2022.

According to the article, “digital nomads who work in the Philippines have access to fast Internet, affordable accommodation, and a vibrant startup community.” Apparently, Cebu is a great destination to work because it’s cheaper than Manila in terms of living costs while still providing world-class infrastructure, co-working communities, and many adventurous experiences. It’s really no wonder why so many people travel and work there.
According to the list, the top 5 places to work remotely are Lisbon, Portugal; Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; Madeira, Portugal; Chiang Mai, Thailand; and Bali, Indonesia at the top spot.
