These are the items that are essential to have in your workbag for obvious reasons. My items are usually: an external battery, an external back-up and water. This means that you need to pack accordingly.
And of course, before your actual work days, I would definitely go to your picked work location first, to test out the Wi-Fi.Įssentials: Wherever you are working and per your schedule, I'm sure you have a set amount of hours per day with some long hour days. I always make it a priority to have data on my phone, in case the internet is down, so I can hotspot it. Internet Security: Obviously, digital nomads need the internet (if not, tell me your secrets!). I love hearing their “why” and “what.” Everyone is so different. But it’s a true blessing to be able to meet other digital nomadders every time I move to a new location. The Downside: Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye to the friends I make. Example: Try the walking tours in your area.

Of course, strangers have great tips, too, and can be a nice form of potential friendships, but I personally find that when I meet a local person in a professional setting, I am more taken care of because there is accountability involved. Just use precaution and meet locals in professional settings. There’s no better way to get to know your area than from locals. Though digital nomadism can look like an exciting lifestyle to many people on the outside, it can be overwhelming when you have to base yourself in a location and “restart.” Whatever that may be, make sure to have some enriched quiet times. The Importance of Being Offline: Mental health is important and should be a regular and recurring intention in your schedule.

Personally, I avoid situations with any slight problematic chance, especially in an unfamiliar location. For example, if a Facebook post about a new place available for rent in an expat group looks sketchy, I would avoid it altogether.
Practice Common Sense: To say it bluntly: Have discernment and good sound judgment in practical situations. (Pro tip: You don’t need to proactively make 100 new friends in the community-one to two quality friendships are enough.) I personally look for the local church communities. You can find a host of reasons to connect with them, either about business, life chats or to bounce digital nomad tips off each other. The Importance of Community: Having a community goes a long way when you are in the digital nomad world, so find a community that shares the same values that you do. With this lifestyle, I realized that it is very similar to slow travel, as it allows me to really soak into that location and enjoy any planned excursions in a quality manner. I find that being in a new location often invites a feeling of adrenaline in wanting to see everything that beautiful location has to offer. Take it Slow: This is one of my top tips. For example, last weekend I went horseback riding in Palomino. The difference is that I have a different set of adventures. However, I'm not vacationing: I’m still working. It sounds mundane because it can be on most days. My day-to-day involves working from either a co-work spot, cafe or home. You have to “restart” and find new friends, community and a routine. It’s Not a Vacation: I don’t think that people understand that you are moving somewhere when you are a digital nomad. Here, Bree shares some of the tips she has learned by being a digital nomad. “To me, digital nomadism is a lifestyle and commitment of some sort-it’s more than just a quick two-week thing,” says Bree. That said, as the remote culture is growing, people often confuse being a digital nomad with just working remotely and living somewhere. While many people work remotely for the freedom, Bree says she pursued being a digital nomad because she loves slow travel and working online. “I would wonder, ‘Is this real? Can you combine making a living from the internet with the world outside the screen?’” “I remember when I was younger, I would see so many cliché images online where people had their laptops on a beach,” she says. Bree is passionate about helping other purpose-driven women with brands that will do the world better through her agency (where she helps women grow in the digital landscape) and a podcast called Branding Gems (where amazing women share their tips and stories about their unique brands and businesses).īree says she was attracted to being a digital nomad from an early age. She’s been dabbling in the digital nomad world since she was 23, when she moved from her native Toronto to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
