Discover what is a digital nomad's life like

Digital nomads are free to change their place of residence regularly and work at their own pace. From a café in the heart of London, to a beach in Brazil or a hotel in Vietnam, these freelancers can work from anywhere in the world, provided that they have a (good) wifi connection! Digital nomads don’t have to choose between their job and their passion for travelling, they can enjoy both at the same time!  Some are real globetrotters, while others move abroad for several years, either alone or with their family. 

Thanks to remote work, It is much easier to work while you’re hundreds of miles away from your home base. Digital nomads use their independence to meet new people, step into different cultures, and spend more time with their family.

Last but not least, working from  the other side of the world gives digital nomads the opportunity to learn more about themselves. Although we tend to picture digital nomads relaxing on a remote island, the reality is not always peaceful. Indeed, digital nomads face new challenges related to their lifestyle: finding (and keeping) a good wifi connection, longer or postponed working hours, an unpredictable volume of work…

However, this doesn’t restrict digital nomads from working. On the contrary, they learn how to deal with unforeseen events and keep calm in all circumstances. For example, a former digital nomad named Eric, who lived in Brazil, recommends  having a good network of clients, to avoid running out of projects.

Digital nomadism allows us to have new experiences every day and adds some spice to our lives. Reading about digital nomads’ experiences is almost like reading about Saint-Exupéry or Robinson Crusoe’s adventures, because they give us a view into another world.

Want to jump in the deep end and live the adventure of digital nomadism? Although it takes a lot of autonomy and great organisational skills, it’s worth taking the risk, as Sandra says: “Being a digital nomad is not as difficult as you might think. Just try it out and you’ll see!”
