I go from the couch, to the bathroom, to the desk, to the bed everyday carrying my laptop, I’m a digital nomad too.

I've worked remotely for foreign companies straight from my laptop for more than 10 years now. Here's my take on this. A digital nomad lifestyle is good for certain phases of a person's life. If you have the itch to explore the world and you have solid online skills that you can monetize, go ahead. However, as you age, you will still be looking for that level of security and familiarity. You don't want to be constantly stuck at airports for long layovers or flights delays, airbnb's, homestays, and at times unsafe situations in odd places. Most digital nomads after some time still look for a permanent address to "settle down"" in. So that simply transitions to migrating. The digital economy doesn't entirely mean you have to go traveling to wherever. It just means the freedom to do work outside a typical office environment. The concept is, you are NOT STUCK IN AN OFFICE 8-5. You can be a digital nomad even if you just work from home (and not just because of a pandemic). And to add to the reality check of this whole thing....even billionaire's who can afford to jet set anywhere and anytime still have a home/permanent address to go to back to. Why? We all seek a place that we call "home".

Watching this on 2021, when all of us learned that almost all desk jobs can be done remotely. 😂

This documentary changed my life, I watched this when I was at the office and I was really unhappy about my life. After that, I quit my job end of 2019 and started my first startup at the beginning of 2020. I was selling tourist activities such as paragliding and dividing. It was going fine, making enough money to pay for my living. Then boom! Covid-19. It destroyed my business. After that, I established a couple more unsuccessful businesses. Now I opened an online selling business in the UK and living in the UK. Still struggling but at least I am happy with my life and hopefully about the future.

I don't need to become a digital nomad. Just a digital work from home job. I enjoy being at home a lot. Traveling is fun. But I always want to come home.

Before watching- So cool, my dream life, I’m jealous

Been working and travelling myself for the past 5 years, best experience and dont regret a thing.

After 10+ years in software development, working 100% on the computer, I switched to running a cafe bakery and I find that working with people and making physical things for people is way more rewarding and a more balanced life, I get to be part of a real physical community of staff and customers, to each her own though

3 years ago, sick of living in the rat race and chasing more money and more stuff, I gave up my apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area, bought an old RV and took my marketing consulting practice remote. Now I make videos about my life and travels to support myself. It is definitively not the easy, cushy way to go. It's a lot of work, but I still prefer it to my old life. I think more and more of us are going to be working remotely and become more location independent. It's the future! It was good to hear others' perspectives about being a digital nomad. Good documentary.

I was a digital nomad for a year spending one full month in a different European country. The experience was really tiring as organazing myself and making sure my living standards and working environment would allow me to perform my work well for my clients was not so easy. At some point , I decided to have single a base in an Eastern European country and only to travel on weekends or take one week off every month to fully be able enjoy a destination.

there is a very important issue that folks need to know before becoming a digital nomad, which is, one must be a really expert in his job to be a nomad

I'm 27. Been a digital nomad for almost 3 years now. I admit that sometimes I work more hours than my last office job but I can choose when and where to work without a boss nor deadlines. I don't make too much money but definitely enough to live quite comfortably outside western countries. Of course I have my own struggles but I don't think I can ever become an office employee ever again. I do hope to grow my KZread travel channel to the point of monetization. Fingers crossed! :D

step 1: slap 20 stickers on laptop

I’d rather have a stable home. I was brought up on the road, we travelled from country to country living in the car, sleeping on couches, homeschooling along the way. As a kid it was cool to see new places but I hated making friends them having to leave them so in the end I didn’t bother trying to make friends. I was always the new girl, the outsider, not belonging anywhere or having any kind of cultural identity. The internet didn’t exist back then and it was hard to stay pen pals with people. I dreamed of having my own place and then travelling knowing I can come back home to security and safety. I think this lifestyle is best for singles not people with kids.

I would like to see a documentary that don't show us just the result, but how they started, their challenge, how long and effort it took to quit their jobs and be able to do it full time. I would like live a life like them. I am so happy for them. I think life is not a place to suffer cuz of financial issue until death, at a moment everyone should live a rich person life and be free

My experience of being a digital nomad is that no matter how nice your surroundings are, you are bound to the computer to put in time to do the work... In some ways, you have less time to shirk around because the work product has to be there. So you can be at a place with the nicest scenery, but it isn't

I'm the opposite, I'm a digital hermit.

I've been in the same city for 30 years of my life. I'm 50 and I've barely ever been out of the US. Here I am at the point where most people want to settle in one place but I want nothing more than to get out and see the world. Given that my work can be done anywhere, this is very tempting.

I think this a great intro documentary. There's digital nomads doing all kinds of things living all kinds of ways. You can think of it as moving to a different place every few months just to switch up your routine, see a different place, experience a change etc. But your day to day is still the same, you enjoy your new neighborhood/city on weekends and work on the weekdays. It's just the choice of not choosing to live in a place because of a job.

I'm from north America and I am getting my IT certificationssss. Digital nomad life, here I come!
