Small town with plenty of outdoor activities, tight community, regular long-term expats and nomads living here as well as new people coming in. Busiest months are winter (Dec-March) and summer (June-August). The big Bansko Nomad Fest attracts plenty of nomads – but the best thing to do is to stay for at least a month afterwards so you can actually make deeper connections with people.
