Turn up, alone is fine
Events are informal evenings in bars and garden bars, and they are in English. Coming alone is normal. You pay for your own food and drinks, nothing else.
Why this group
An expat community that actually meets.
Bucharest Digital Nomads has held more than 130 events since 2022 and is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 280+ reviews on Meetup. It is run by volunteers, and there is nothing to pitch and no one to impress.
The crowd is a mix: nomads in town for a week or a season, expats who have made Romania home, and Romanians who like an international table. If you work from a laptop, or just like meeting people who do, you'll fit in.
Want more than an evening? We also run workations from Bucharest: group trips where everyone works their normal hours and explores together afterwards.
