What is a Digital Nomad?

from Traveling with Kristin

In this solo episode, Kristin clarifies the common myths, misconceptions, and possibilities around digital nomadism, location independence, and remote work, related to: * Required tech skills * Quitting your job * Traveling and cost of travel * Freelancing * Passive income * Job titles * Entrepreneurship * Digital nomad "trendiness" We also discuss: * The various categories and types of remote workers. * How to break through the perceived limitations of a location-independent lifestyle. * How the self-imposed labels and stereotypes of "digital nomads" are unfounded and unnecessarily hold people back from going remote. Digital nomadism is a dynamic, ever-evolving mindset. It's not a fixed destination or identity. For all intents and purposes, it doesn't matter what your job title is, how you support yourself, or where you fall along the digital nomad spectrum - we are all helping to define digital nomadism for ourselves. And that's okay. What is a Digital Nomad? (Video) Subscribe to Badass Digital Nomads for weekly interviews with real people about how they traded out the 9-5 rat race for flexible work lifestyle.
