The digital nomad lifestyle could be an exciting possibility if you’ve caught the travel bug and want to break free from the shackles of your 9-5 life. Whether you chose to work for a company or yourself, becoming a digital nomad doesn’t mean pigeonholing yourself in a specific role. Your job just has to be fully digital. While remote work is becoming commonplace, which is exciting and beneficial for the workforce, that doesn’t mean anyone and everyone should be a digital nomad. It’s still a tough challenge.

Our three nomads discussed the digital nomad life and its perks. They also talked about the evolution of the laptop-wielding lifestyle and why it has come to stay.

So tune in and get as many tips as you can in this week’s episode so you can weigh if this lifestyle is for you.
