It’s time for the first-ever Digital Nomad Location Awards, where we (Marisa and Jeff) crown the best places around the world across 10 epic categories. From jaw-dropping beaches and foodie hotspots to insane adventure zones and the ultimate cities to work remotely from.
And the best part? We didn’t plan our answers ahead of time, so get ready for unfiltered reactions, some passionate debates, and a whole lot of unexpected picks (plus some hilariously terrible “dishonorable mentions”).
Inspired by a Beach Commute podcast listener, this episode dives into the places we’ve actually lived and worked—not just passed through—so you’re getting real, lived-in insights for your future travels.
What you can expect:
🌴 The “Best Beach” debate gets spicy—Costa Rica vs. the Philippines vs. Mexico. Who wins and why?
🍝 This European country takes a surprise win for food (even from a self-proclaimed non-foodie!).
🌅 Jaw-dropping sunsets, island hikes, and hidden atolls—guess where the best views in the world are?
🏍️ This South American wild ATV escapes and Mars-like landscapes dominate the “Most Adventurous” category.
🏙️ From Prague to Playa, discover the cities that balance charm, chaos, and co-working comfort.
🎉 Why Lagos, Nigeria might have the wildest nightlife you’ve never considered.
🛏️ The surprising town that scores consistently great modern accommodations at great prices.
😬 Plus: The worst places we’ve stayed (concrete beds and sink showers included).
📩 Big thanks to our listener for this episode idea
