About Semey

Semey, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 is a quiet, affordable city on the Irtysh River, good for nomads who prefer a slower pace and lower costs. It has basic amenities, cafes, and improving internet, but fewer coworking spaces and less expat infrastructure than bigger hubs. Great for focused work and local culture, less ideal for a bustling remote-work scene. ☕💻
