Every single meal on this journey hits different 🍽️

We've been eating our way through what looks like a solid stretch of Europe. Curry with crusty bread, a golden pot pie, grilled chicken over polenta, fresh prawns in a spicy tomato sauce, wood-board veggies with balsamic char, grilled fish with greens and potatoes, and somewhere in between, a perfect latte to keep us going. This is just what the location-independent life actually looks like day to day, good food, new tables, no two meals the same.

We were not prepared for how heavy this place would feel. Albania's communist-era museum pulls you straight into nearly 50 years of surveillance, executions, propaganda, and survival. Every artifact from the switchboard to the weapons cases carries real weight. Growing up in the Caribbean, dictatorship felt like a distant history lesson, but standing in that space it suddenly felt very close and very human. Have you ever visited a place that completely shifted how you see the world?

If you know us, you know we take our Tbilisi food spots seriously β€” and Cafe Stamba's Asian food section has been living rent-free in our heads. 🍜✨

From rich flavors to fresh ingredients, every dish had us feeling like we took a quick trip across Asia...right here in Tbilisi.

A must-try for anyone craving something bold and delicious.

Kotor might be the most dramatic office backdrop in all of Europe.

Medieval walls, Adriatic views, and a laid-back pace that actually lets you breathe. Monthly costs run around $1,200 to $1,800, which is shockingly reasonable for somewhere this beautiful. WiFi in cafes and co-working spots is solid and reliable. The vibe? Ancient city meets slow-travel dream, with a surprisingly welcoming expat community growing every year.

Montenegro is having a moment, and Kotor is leading the charge.

Every time we move to a new country, someone asks what tools we actually use. Not what sounds good, what we actually open.

The Private Travel Toolkit at https://www.dawnandron.com/toolkit is our real relocation stack, the apps, services, and systems we pull up every single time we pack and move. It lives as a browsable page and a downloadable PDF, and it's free when you create an account. We only included things we personally use or would confidently use again.

No filler, no affiliate padding, just the honest list.

What's one tool you swear by when relocating or traveling long-term?

Getting an EIN without an SSN or ITIN trips up so many non-resident LLC owners, and it does not have to. The IRS actually has a process built for foreign nationals, and it works in 2026. You just have to follow the exact steps.

The fastest method most people never use? Call the IRS International EIN line directly at +1 (267) 941-1099 and you can walk away with your EIN the same day. No waiting weeks for mail, no hoping a fax went through. We broke down every step of the process, including the SS-4 fields that cause the most rejections, over at https://www.dawnandron.com/blog/ein-without-an-ssn-or-itin-in-2026-the-exact-process-non-us-residents-must-follow-to-get-a-us-tax-id-for-their-llc

Are you still waiting on your EIN, or did something go sideways when you applied? Drop a comment below. You might be one small fix away from sorting it out.

Most nomads don't realize their tax situation got complicated the moment they boarded that first one-way flight.

Here's what actually helps:

1. Use a nomad-specific CPA (like Bright!Tax or Greenback) β€” they know FEIE and foreign tax credits cold, and fees start around $500.

2. Track every country you enter and exit in a spreadsheet, including exact dates. This data saves you when proving tax residency or avoiding accidental triggers.

3. Estonia's e-Residency program lets you set up an EU company for around 100 euros, which simplifies invoicing and banking across borders significantly.

Tax mistakes abroad are expensive and stressful. Getting organized early is always cheaper than fixing a mess later.

Wait, I need to rewrite this properly following the style rules (no em dashes, no hyphens as dashes).

The leaning clock tower in Tbilisi's Old Town πŸ‡¬πŸ‡ͺ

We were exploring Tbilisi when we stumbled onto this spot, a tilted brick tower covered in mosaic art, golden Roman numerals, and tiny sculptural details tucked right into the stonework that you'd completely miss if you weren't paying attention.

Fun fact: This clock tower is home to the smallest working clock in the world 🌎

Tirana had us stopping mid-stride every few blocks just to look up. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡± This city layers bold modern towers, massive street murals, a stunning mosque, and yes, a building-sized Messi all in the same walk, and somehow it works. Have you been to Tirana, or is Albania still on your list?

Vilnius is one of Europe's most underrated remote work gems. The Old Town Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, cafes are everywhere, and your money goes surprisingly far. Budget around $1,500 to $2,000/month for a comfortable life here.

The vibe is cozy, creative, and refreshingly unhurried. Plus, Lithuania is in the EU and Schengen zone, making it a smart base for exploring the region.
