Places such as Bali, Berlin and Lisbon top lists of the best spots in the world for digital nomads to work remotely while living well -- destinations that attract a global community of location-independent souls with Wi-Fi as strong as the espresso drinks and a lifestyle with an attractive quality to cost ratio.

But if one Lisbon, Portugal, native has anything to do with it, a tiny archipelago that's been called Europe's answer to Hawaii might be the next big thing in remote working.

And by big, Gonçalo Hall -- a remote work consultant who is helping launch a new digital nomad community in a tiny village in the Portuguese autonomous region of Madeira -- actually means small.
