Any fellow digital nomads out there? Where in the world are you? Pros and Cons of that lifestyle!?

Question

Accepted Answer

I'm currently traveling in Southeast Asia. I love the freedom it gives me, but I miss having a stable place to call home. It's always a balancing act, but overall, the pros are more important to me than the cons.

Yucatan Mexico! Met my wife here and have two kids now. Started the nomad lifestyle about 10 years ago and met my wife about 4 years ago.

Here’s a twofer; stress management lol. It’s both a pro and con you have to develop being a digital nomad.

@alicehyon ha cool! Where in Southeat Asia are you? Out of interest, do you work in coworking spaces or what is your preferred location throughout the day?

I have worked in Portugal for a while and love it there. The massive pro is definitely the nature, beaches, surfing, the people, the weather.. I could go on. All the co-working spaces I have come across are not amazing though.. no monitors and the cheapest desks and chairs.. A good work setup is just so important. I did not work in Lisbon or Porto, so maybe it’s different there :)

I'm traveling around Turkey.

They have sooo many beautiful landscapes. Mountains, sea, cities and so. The Internet here is a bit slow. But the prices are really good.

Also, the cuisine is fantastic.

For any particular place, you can check Fethiye, I've been there a couple of weeks ago. Met so many digital nomads, had quality working hours during the day with them, and fun party hours in the evening.

Answer

Being a digital nomad has its perks, like getting to check out new cultures and places while still getting work done. But like, there are also some downsides, like the Wi-Fi being kinda sketchy, dealing with different time zones, and trying to balance work and life.

Hi there!

I use HK as my base and I usually fly to Kyoto and Taiwan to work remotely. I love how convenient it is that there is free wifi everywhere in Taiwan and the living cost is really low. (With awesome weather)

Tips: you must have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to focus if you work in public places!
