Does the idea of being stuck in one place for the rest of your life fill you with dread?
Along with all of the attachments of remaining in the same location such as; taking the same journey to work every day, visiting the same place for lunch, attending the same local pub for drinks, enduring the same dull weather, seeing the same people, everything remains relatively stagnant, and this may not be the life you aspire to live.
Being a digital nomad, on the other hand, means you can travel and work from anywhere in the world, so long as you have a device that enables internet access. This is the dream for those who yearn to experience new cultures, oceans, cities, places, and people continuously, without the restriction of being bound to an employer in a particular country and having only a few weeks a year to venture across the world.
Becoming a solopreneur and digital nomad is about more than working abroad, it’s about freedom.
