Seeing far-flung areas of the world and being immersed for extended periods in a new and exciting culture is the ultimate goal of today’s travel nomad.Backpackers have employed this nomadic lifestyle for years.
But, even so, the travel budget eventually runs out and backpackers are forced to take a local gig, or return back home for a period of time to build up their savings before going on their next adventure.This work, then play, alternating lifestyle creates its own problems.
Remote workers have the privilege to make any setting their office: from cafes in Paris, to hotel receptions in London, the beaches of Thailand, co-working spaces in New York, or the glacial plains of Iceland.Working while traveling buys you enough time to truly immerse yourself in a culture, to hang with the locals and to see and do more than the typical tourist.
It also means that rather than having a set travel budget that can be exhausted over time, digital nomads can set daily or weekly budgets that get replenished with their paychecks.
More recent statistics indicate nearly 70% of workers whose jobs can be done from home are now working remotely all or most of the time.Coworking spaces are popping up around the world to accommodate remote workers without regular offices.
