What Is a Digital Nomad?

·         Author Nadia Ponomareva

1. A digital nomad is someone who can work from anywhere; they are not dependent on being in a particular location. Digital nomads can be freelancers, independent contractors, or employees. 

2. A digital nomad is not the same as a remote worker. There are several variations of remote working, but essentially a remote worker is someone who is typically restricted to a particular location such as their home and is often not able to travel to different locations as they must have a secure and reliable internet connection. On the other hand, a digital nomad can be anywhere providing they have the facilities they need to work remotely.

3. It is understandable why many people are thinking about how to become a digital nomad due to the number of benefits it brings such as flexibility and an ability to have adventures and explore new places whilst working.

4. Becoming a digital nomad also has disadvantages such as relying on countries to provide access to wifi and adequate workspaces so that work can be completed.

5. There may also be legal issues with living and working in a place according to the local laws. Many countries are offering remote working visas for this exact reason to make it more accessible for people to travel for a longer period of time.

It certainly sounds like a dream lifestyle to be able to work from anywhere in the world without being restricted to a specific location. But for many, this is reality.

According to statistics published by Harvard Business Review, the number of digital nomads in the USA increased to 10.9 million in 2020 (a 49% spike from 2019). This figure continued to rise to 15.5 million in 2021. It is estimated that 44% of digital nomads are between the ages of 26 – 41, and 21% of them are around 32 years old. 

With the rapid development of technology centered around remote work, a workforce experienced in working from home, and rising awareness of work-life balance which leads many to travel, the “digital nomad lifestyle” has gained extreme popularity among remote workers. It is no surprise that since the pandemic, many people who were already working from home would naturally want to take the next step and work from anywhere.

People seem to value their well-being, their lifestyle, and time doing what they love more now than ever before. The idea that people have to wait until they retire to enjoy traveling seems to be a thing of the past.
