I am a global citizen, and I have been for 50 years; I now spend most of my time on a small island in Greece which I invite nomads to come and visit; LEROS ISLAND. We have a great location for digital nomads, in Lakki harbor, you can find information on THE LEROS WAY FB page; this is a quiet island with just enough infrastructure to suit the "slow traveller". We who have called Leros home for a long time, know the value of digital nomads and people who come to live the culture. Come and experience Greek island life, the Greek culture, the island people will renew your faith in humanity!
