Digital Nomad

The Perfect Lifestyle Choice in Today´s World

What is a Digital Nomad? Well for starters, it is a totally new category of Traveler/Resident. They arrive like a tourist but generally prefer to travel during less crowded months and want to be fully immersed in their new location´s culture and day to day living just like someone who moves here as a resident. Their stay can generally be from 6 to 12 months and sometimes longer if they become enamored with the place. They are concerned with finding a place with good to excellent Internet service so that they work efficiently and constantly. They generally make a good income and thus have disposable income to spend during their time at a new location,

thus contributing to the general economy. This is a trend that has been growing steadily and will continue to do so and while the pandemic severely limited the travel choices in the short run, in the middle and long run it has helped to accelerate this trend as many companies realize that working from home, wherever that may be, is a much better option in many ways for both the employee as well as for the employer. There are of course many Digital Nomads who work for themselves and do not actually have a formal employer.
