Its proximity to Mexico City and its endless cultural and entertainment offerings make Puebla one of the most popular destinations to visit and even work remotely.
First things first, What is a digital nomad?
They are people who have adopted a flexible and mobile lifestyle, working remotely and taking advantage of the opportunities offered by technology.
This form of work that has strengthened after the pandemic does not limit itself to an office or fixed location. A digital nomad has the freedom to work from anywhere in the world as long as they have access to a reliable internet connection.
This freedom allows digital nomads to find comfortable and inspiring places, with offerings that also give them the opportunity to enjoy other sites without disconnecting from work.
That’s why this destination is ideal, as it is close to CDMX and one of the favorite destinations for national tourism. These are the reasons why digital nomads have among their preferences hotels with a pool in Puebla (a dip between meetings? it sounds good), or spaces like quiet cafes with an inviting atmosphere.
A life on the rise
It’s more common to find spaces in Puebla for remote work. This format has gained popularity in recent years. Among other factors, the reasons why more people are trying to be digital nomads are:
