Digital nomads are individuals who travel and utilise technology to earn a living and stay connected with the world. It’s a relatively modern lifestyle as it relies so heavily on various technologies and digital services to function. However, with the advancements in virtual services, more and more individuals are exploring a digital nomad lifestyle.
While no digital nomad is the same, there are some common similarities between them, such as:
A core aspect of being a digital nomad is utilising technology. Whether that’s to keep in touch with family, book accommodation while moving, or help you deliver a digital service. Without technology, digital nomads would struggle to live the lives they do.
The technology you may need as a digital nomad depends on factors unique to you. For example, a video editor will need specific software and a laptop capable of processing video edits, whereas a language tutor may only need a laptop and a webcam.
Even if you don’t plan to offer virtual services, you’ll need access to technology for the day-to-day goings on of the digital nomad lifestyle. Some examples of what to consider include:
Keeping in touch with friends, family, clients and anyone else is crucial to the digital nomad lifestyle. Consider the following:
Staying on top of your work commitments and using technology that makes it easy to collaborate with anyone across the world will help you organise everything around your lifestyle.
There are a range of apps and websites that will help you plan your travels and stays. From car hire to optimal train routes, they may vary depending on where you’re located, but some examples of common options include:
Depending on how you plan to make an income, editing software may prove to be a worthwhile investment. It can also be utilised for your personal life if you want to edit any of the photography or videos you capture while away. Some examples include:
Physical equipment is also a necessity, and without it you won’t be able to access many of the technologies digital nomads use. Some examples include:
Digital nomads will often work in jobs that are deliverable from anywhere in the world. This may only sometimes be the case as some digital nomads will find local jobs, such as Au Pairs, which allow them to meet their employment and accommodation needs at the same time.
Digital based services, however, are much more common as they go hand in hand with the digital nomad lifestyle. Some examples of the types of jobs include:
One of the communication channels digital nomads need to consider is physical mail. While travelling, there will be occasions when they need to send or receive post.
