Many people have heard the term but have no clue what it means. There is not a fixed definition for the term "Digital Nomad", so it varies depending on who you talk to. Here is my definition of a digital nomad and what it means to me: "A Digital Nomad is a person who works from wherever he/she wants, be it an airport, hotel, plane, restaurant, coffee shop, office or even while traveling. Digital Nomads use digital camera's, laptops, notebooks, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s), and smart phones in combination with the many web-based services through Internet access points (like WiFi hot spots) to make money and maintain a living by their own standards and values." One thing is certain; being a Digital Nomad is a lifestyle and a it’s mindset. Digital Nomads are free to use whichever combination of transportation, accommodation, and communication solutions best serves their traveling, working and living requirements. This flexibility of transport and connectivity options enables the Digital Nomad to work on the move as well as at the destinations. It’s all about living the kind of lifestyle and having the kind of mindset that allows you and enables you to take off whenever you choose and work from wherever you choose. It’s about not being tied to one location by your possessions, property, family ties or work commitments. Perhaps you want to travel around the world whenever you feel like it, but maybe you don’t. The choice is all yours. Freedom isn't knowing your limits, but realising you have none! |
