I was not quite sure what to expect when Rax Suen from Singapore was selected as the Zagreb Digital Nomad Ambassador for November, but I knew it would take this excellent project into a new direction. And so it has proved. Rax is the first Asian ambassador, and his perspectives on the potential of both Zagreb and Croatia regarding the digital nomad community have been particularly insightful.
And I think this young man from Singapore has had a little fun along the way, despite the fact that November is perhaps not the most attractive month to visit. One highlight was certainly the outstanding Michelin Starry Nights in Dubrava, raising money to dig wells in Uganda, above.
Rax is holding his final event this evening at BIZkoshnica coworking space at Ilica 71 at 18:00 (all welcome), when he will be handing over ambassadorial duties to our final ambassador, Anna Maria Kochanska from Poland.
We will have a lot more from Anna Maria soon, but here is her application vdeo below.
Anna Maria is arriving this afternoon and will be put straight to work at Rax’s final event and Nomad Panel and after party at BIZkoshnica.
Actually, Anna Maria is not quite the final ambassador of the project. The project organisers – Saltwater Nomads, TCN, Doma Zagreb and Zagreb Tourist Board also wanted to recognise the efforts of a young American whose blood has been infected with a love of Zagreb, and whose pro bono promotional efforts of Zagreb and Croatia in general have been among the most effective of any this year.
Having spent 6 days with Steve Tsentserensky in the car in eastern Croatia recently, his passion for Zagreb is unbridled, and we are delighted to welcome him to the project as the Zagreb Special Guest Digital Nomad Ambassador 2021. Below is the first video of Steve’s I ever saw: Subject Zagreb.
Rax has put together a very strong panel for tonight’s event:
The event panel brings together a diverse group of digital nomads to share more about their remote work journey, from travel to business and lifestyle. Discussion will include tips and insights to take your lifestyle remote, as well as real world challenges that can arise in a nomadic life.
Panel:
Steve Tsentserensky – United States | Writer, Videomaker
Alyssa Houseknecht – United States | Branding and Design
Nate Cronk – United States | Sales Copywriter
Anna Maria Kochanska – Poland | Business Development, Cross Cultural Consultant
See you there!
