What Is a Digital Nomad?

The Internet has changed the way we view a lot of things. Banking, commerce, and community have all been altered by the Internet. Another area undergoing huge change is work.

We are living in one of the most transformative periods for work and employment since the Industrial Revolution. The ability to “remote in” has enabled an entirely new kind of worker, the Digital Nomad.

Digital nomads are workers who hold down either traditional or freelance jobs, but are not bound to physical offices, or even countries for that matter, like the majority of employees. These nomads work from home, from coffee shops, from coworking spaces, and from anywhere else with an internet connection.

The rise of the Internet and the digital era made telecommuting a viable option because of cheap, immediate access to all information necessary to work. However, there is, in my mind, anyway, a big difference between working remotely and being a digital nomad.
