You\u2019ll find a great rundown on the Bulgaria nomad visa here&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sofiaexpats.com\/blog\/bulgaria-digital-nomad-visa-everything-you-need-to-know\">at SofiaExpats.com<\/a>&nbsp;and sign up for her great Sofia newsletter if you\u2019ll spend any time there. Here\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nomadsembassy.com\/croatia-digital-nomad-visa-updates-2025\/\">an article on changes in the Croatia one<\/a>, including a longer timeline of 18 months if you\u2019ve can show high enough income or savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Electric Travel Toothbrush, Take 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in July of 2024 I highlighted the slim Philips One by Sonicare electric travel toothbrush that I\u2019d bought. I made a mistake and got the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mmXv3\">battery powered one<\/a>&nbsp;instead of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/9gq7s18\">rechargeable one<\/a>&nbsp;but amazingly, the battery hasn\u2019t been replaced since. I\u2019ve been carrying a charged-up rechargeable AAA spare through two months in Europe, six weeks in the USA and Canada, and multiple other trips but still haven\u2019t needed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Southwest Airlines Changes in January<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were a fan of the previously unique Southwest Airlines, you\u2019d better fly them before January 27. Free bag checks are already gone and in January they\u2019ll become just like the other hated airlines, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsparty.com\/articles\/southwest-airlines-ends-open-seating\">complicated tiers<\/a>&nbsp;of paid seat assignments and a dramatically slower cabin load time thanks to&nbsp;<em>eight<\/em>&nbsp;boarding groups. You get a break if you have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/226j\/VPQ2E1T4XX\">their Chase credit card<\/a>&nbsp;though, with a checked bag included and standard seat assignments for you and your travel companions so you can sit together. ($99 annual fee, but 100K points sign-up bonus after spending $4K.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Temperate Climate Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/practicalglobetrotters.substack.com\/p\/chasing-75-degrees-the-top-25-cities\">list of cities that are around 75F degrees\/24C<\/a>&nbsp;has some nice places to target if you prefer \u201ceternal spring\u201d climates that never get super hot or super cold, like the one I live in. You could create a whole list like this just with the central Mexico highlands and it is missing a few popular spots (like Boquete and El Valle de Anton in Panama). Plus Vi\u00f1a del Mar in Chile rarely tops 70F<strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong>But it highlights a few temperate places I hadn\u2019t thought of before. Eat outside all year in Addis Ababa, Windhoek, Da Lat, or Arequipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>A weekly newsletter with four quick bites, edited by Tim Leffel, author of\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/cbjyU?utm_campaign=Nomadico&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\"><em>A Better Life for Half the Price<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The World\u2019s Cheapest Destinations<\/em>.
