Backpacking or travelling in North Macedonia?

  • In the relatively small North Macedonia you can see a lot in a short time. The costs are low compared to Western Europe, the locals are friendly and the landscapes are breathtaking. Enjoy a mountainous landscape, a culture focused on delicious food and festivals and among other things Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman history.
  • Activities spotting: visit Lake Ohrid - one of the oldest and deepest lakes in the world; explore the history of Skopje; walk through the monastery of Sveti Naum; hike and ski in Mavrovo National Park; admire kokino - the North Macedonian Stonehenge; stroll through the old Ottoman bazaar of Bitola; hike through the Šar Mountains; go rafting on the Treska river.
  • Animals spotting: Balkan lynx, brown bear, European wolf, wild boar, Bonelli's eagle, European otter, foxes.
  • Food Spotting: ajvar, tavče gravče, kepabi, shopska salade, pastrmajlija, polneti piperki, turli tava, burek, sarma, tulkec.

Studying in North Macedonia?

  • North Macedonia offers international students an affordable study destination with some English-language programs. Universities in cities such as Skopje and Bitola attract international students, but the quality of education can vary.
  • Study cities: Skopje, Bitola.
  • Language of study: Macedonian, but English-language programs are also available.

Internships in North Macedonia?

  • Internships are not easy to find in North Macedonia. You may be able to work in nature conservation, at universities or NGOs.

  • Speaking Macedonian can be a huge help.

Working as a digital nomad in North Macedonia?

  • North Macedonia is becoming increasingly attractive to digital nomads thanks to its low costs, mild climate, and natural beauty. Furthermore, the internet is also reasonably good and there is a digital nomad visa.
  • Favorite locations: Skopje, Ohrid, Bitola.

Living in North Macedonia?

  • North Macedonia is a beautiful, affordable place to live with a rich culture, friendly people, and beautiful scenery. While it may not be your typical expat destination, there are certainly reasons to consider it.
  • Education: Limited international school options.
  • Expat community: Small but friendly.
  • Safety: Safe with low crime rates.
  • Culture: The culture is a mix of Ottoman influences, Slavic traditions and Orthodox customs. Expect lots of music, dance and festivals, and people who are proud of their heritage.
  • Beware: Language barriers, limited rural infrastructure and a relaxed, somewhat bureaucratic pace.
  • Health insurance: Quality varies by location and complicated care may require travel to neighbouring countries. Make sure you have your own comprehensive health insurance.

Travel in North Macedonia?

  • North Macedonia is located in the heart of the Balkans and it is a beautiful country with magnificent mountains and many beautiful lakes where it is wonderful to stay. Especially Lake Ohrid has a rich collection of flora and fauna that you will not quickly get tired of.
  • Go hiking at Lake Ohrid with beautiful nature.
  • Ohrid was the capital of the Macedonia region in the 10th and 11th centuries, and this can still be seen in, for example, the old city wall or the Cathedral of Saint Sofia. Especially Lake Ohrid is beautiful.
  • Visit Skopje: Even though most of the city was demolished in 1963, the old center is still the most beautiful district of the city. The Nerezi Monastery nearby is an interesting day trip.
  • Go to Bitola, it is the second city of Macedonia, close to the Greek border. Also nearby are the ruins of the city of Heraclea.

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
