I also wanted to travel around the world and that is also a reason i started online 15 years ago. So it is nothing new, but now more and more people get aware of the possibilities. The last year there are more and more people try to travel and make money online and it got attention of the biggest mainstream media. There are a lot of things, digital nomad cruises, co-work centers around the world, meet ups around the world, big events where thousands attend etcetra.
A lot of companies also hire digital nomads, or even relocate to the places where a lot of digital nomads hang-out like Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Vietnam and also Colombia is popular.
I travel around now for 5 years in several countries. Most of the time i stay 1 - 6 months in a country. Didn't need a book to know i wanted that. Most of the tie i was backpacking on my holidays. You see people now to pay to follow a course how to make money online in some nice places. I prefer the opposite, better to first learn and already make money online and than travel.
Why did you stay in your country for those 3 years? Here you can find some countries to stay with the cost https://nomadlist.com The prices are an indication, some travel cheap, other only for 1 year and spent there savings. Most people i know spent around 600 - 800 euros a month. |
Yea this is why I say I'm not interested in his blog or podcast, it's just I came across his, book a bit over 3 years of me living it so to speak.
I also don't subscribe to the whole digital nomad scene. I just do what I do and what makes me happy.
It's not about a 4hr work week, it's about creating the ability to make money which fits your lifestyle rather than bending your lifestyle around your work schedule.
