Digital Nomads (DN): this term has become increasingly popular over the last few years and refers to people using communication technologies to earn a living while travelling the world. Just Google the term and you\u2019ll find many blogs telling you how to live the digital nomad lifestyle as well as travel blogs with accounts of bloggers making money while being on holiday. But, in this digital day and age you don\u2019t have to be a blogger in order to be a Digital Nomad.<\/p>\n
By now there are many people who decide to take the plunge and become a Digital Nomad. Most Digital Nomads are employees in the tech industry or start-up scene or work as freelancers. The thing they have in common: they don\u2019t need much more than an internet connection to do their job. This all sounds very modern and appealing, but it comes with a downside, the lack of interaction with other people in a social environment.<\/p>\n
But of course, modern technology offers several solutions for this as well. There are a range of different online forums aimed at the Digital Nomad, such as Nomadforum<\/a>, an online forum that comes with a chat function and brings together the modern nomads from around the globe while also providing information about the best locations, local infrastructures and reliable renting options. There was even a community called Find a Nomad which allowed nomads to locate other nomads in the same city so they can get in touch. Since 2014 there is also an annual Digital Nomad Conference<\/a> called DNX. And as a little bonus Korean film maker Youjin Do is about to publish her documentary \u201cOne Way Ticket\u201d about the digital nomad lifestyle. In other words, this topic keeps getting hotter!<\/p>\n
