Digital Nomad: yes or no?

What is a Digital Nomad?

Digital nomad is a typical ‘job’ or way of living for people who want to get rid of the 9 till 5 working patterns and for the ones who like discovering new places in the world.To become a Digital Nomad, you have to be able to comply with the requirements like freedom, having no consistency, working as productive as possible and having a huge amount of curiosity.  A digital nomad travels around the world and in every city he or she ends up, there is work to do! You need to work on a laptop or another internet device, since you always should be in connection with the company you are working for.

Why is it interesting?

This digital nomad trend is interesting,due to the fact that it is a whole other way of living than most people are accustomed to. It takes a lot of courage to decide to let all the firmness behind and just leave.  However, the positive thing about being a digital nomad is that you always got your internet device like a laptop with you.  For that reason, being a digital nomad is an example of the trend quantified self.  When you’re in a specific country, you should be able to inform others about the daily routines and the way you function in a foreign country. All this is in correlation with the integration of technology into your lifestyle.  A large amount of the digital nomads we know nowadays has their own blog.They often tell where you got to deal with every day, which beautiful places in the world you should definitely visit and about meeting new people.

Also digital nomads belong to long-term trends like globalization and togetherness and being inline. Digital nomads travel all around the world to spot new people and places.  This was not possible if the world didn’t change slowly. The world as we know is always in connection with everybody at any time.  In former times, being on vacation in a foreign country was a big deal.  Presently, this is not imaginable anymore. Also being inline is something we cannot leave out the society.  Everywhere we look we see smartphones, laptops, iPods, iPads… it is a new way of life. Therefore, working with your laptop abroad is a clear example of how the world changes to an online one. Times are changing, and they always will.  Or will digital nomads stay a bit longer?

What do you think; would you like to be a digital nomad sometime?

See you next time,
