How Bulgaria works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Bulgaria, Burgas leads at 75/100 — cost 62, climate 93, safety 76; warmest-month highs around 22.5°C and coldest-month lows near 2.9°C give you a feel for the seasons. Varna is the pure-budget play at cost 62/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Bulgaria before booking anything long-term.
