I didn't want to quit my job entirely, I just wanted to reduce it to part-time and spend the rest of the time writing my book [1]. My plan was to start with a transatlantic cruise from Colombia to Portugal in spring 2020 and then do some digital nomading in southern Spain and Portugal.

The cruise got cancelled and I spent 3/4 of the year stuck at home. I only managed to "escape" to Serbia in summer when the country opened its borders without requiring PCR test.

This year I was waiting to see where I could go. Some balkan countries like Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania opened their borders, again without requiring the PCR test. I went and spent three weeks in Montenegro as pure vacation and after that moved to Albania where I am now. The situation in Montenegro got worse and the country has many restrictions in place now, while Albania remains open, including restaurants.

I am Czech and the situation in the Czech Republic is bad. The restrictions in place prevent anyone from having a normal life...

Now I only work on the book, nomading in Albania. Here in Durrës the life is not only normal, but fairly cheap and with amazing sea food. I pay 90 EUR/week for an apartment and go to have sea food lunch every day for like 5-8 EUR.
