No country is perfect. Whether it's corruption, infrastructure, bureaucracy, taxes, cost of living, or unemployment, the people of nations often contend with a whole host of problems. And, depending on the location, being a digital nomad comes with its own unique challenges.

Croatia is one of the better places telecommuters can live and work, but this doesn't mean there aren't issues that have to be tackled. However, while such issues may be undesirable for some, as long as you do your due diligence, it can be a wonderful place to hang your hat.

Bad internet connection. In my experience staying around Croatia, wireless can get a bit dicey at times. Usually, in the evening, or during storms or the bora, it can underperform. So, if you don't want to get cut out of a work meeting, it may be worth getting a wifi booster.

Lack of co-working spaces. Open office spaces are an amazing place to connect with likeminded people and potenitally acquire new clients. However, outside of major cities like Zagreb or Split, it might be difficult finding such amenities.

Madeira (a Portuguese island off the coast of Africa) has plenty of these dedicated spaces, so if this is important to you, it could be. Being a bit of a loner myself, it isn't a dealbreaker for me, but more social, outgoing people should carefully consider where they set up.

Bureaucracy. Croatia has a reputation for its Kafkaesque bureaucracy. If you're a digital nomad living in Croatia you'll likely be familiar with the time-consuming and, at times, infuriating experience of navigating this labyrhinth. The language barrier is only one aspect.

Many of Croatia's services aren't digitized, meaning you often have to process something in person. There also a lack of accessible information about said processes and it can take quite a long time (and expenses) to get x or y approved. If you can, I would hire some help!

Beware the season! Who doesn't love a holiday in the sultry Croatian sun? Well, based on how heaving the coast gets, nobody! Rental prices skyrocket beyond belief between the months of May and September, so make sure you plan ahead.

If you can afford it, great! But if you're not Elon Musk, and don't have a long-term rental, it could be worth simply moving to a different country for a few months, or potentially looking for cheaper accommodation inland. All of Croatia is beautiful, not just the coast.

Language barrier. Croatian is difficult to get to grips with for those unfamiliar with Slavic languages. While many young people speak German and English in popular tourist destinations, you may struggle in a little village. So better get your Google Translate ready!
