About Socotra

Socotra, Yemen 🇾🇪🌴 is breathtakingly unique with otherworldly landscapes, but it’s **not ideal for digital nomads**. Internet can be very limited and unreliable, power and services are basic, and travel logistics are challenging. Great for adventurous stays and deep nature escapes, but not for remote work that needs stable connectivity ⚠️💻
