The urge to break free and take a temporary reprieve from our everyday obligations is probably the pinnacle in every individual. How to throw caution to the winds and set out to traverse the planet however depends upon the individual. That said, one way to achieve the goal of true freedom is by adopting the lifestyle of a digital nomad.

It is only then you can live and work from any corner of the world, without having to fear about boundaries or borders. While becoming a digital nomad may seem far-fetched to some, achieving the target is actually a straightforward and simple task.

What it means to be a Digital Nomad

Being a digital nomad means you have to travel around the year, work from cafes or co-working places and live out of your suitcase or backpack a majority of the time. One thing with this lifestyle is that what works for one may not work for someone else, as the degree of skill varies from person to person.

Since, at times, you may find yourself in a remote part of a faraway country you would have to be creative to survive, even if it means spending hours to find the only place in the area with a reliable internet connection. After all, in order to meet the deadlines will require dedication and hard work and not just sitting by the pool with a laptop and enjoying a tan.

Tip – Ensure you have a good VPN provider like Safer web so you can work from anywhere whilst ensuring complete privacy. Read review here – https://www.top10.com/vpn/reviews/safer-web

How to become a digital nomad

If you want to travel the world and work from anywhere, you need to start with the basics. Once you decide to take the big leap forward, get your finances together and start saving money, because you never know how long you are going to be on the road. A suggested route to get started is as under:

  • Devise a work plan: Choose your work format, source of income to ensure you are economically secure.
  • Make a list of social contacts: Develop relationships with like-minded people around the world and plan for interaction with them in your free time.
  • Do the paperwork; Before venturing out, register your business in your home country for tax purposes. This will ensure that whatever you do is legal and will avoid potential legal implications afterwards.
  • Get insurance: Thefts and accidents can occur anytime, anywhere, so it is best to be prepared. Make sure you have both medical and equipment insurance.
  • Choose your first destination: To ease yourself into your new lifestyle choose a destination that you are most familiar with. The distinct exotic lands can wait for now.

Great destinations for digital nomads

Being a digital nomad nowadays can cover hundreds of different jobs, with instagrammers and bloggers occupying the pride of place on the most sought-after list. With the addition of graphic designers, online teachers, translators and so on, the list keeps growing. The three key features which can help you decide on a location of your choice are:

  • Internet:  For a digital nomad to operate in full-flow, a high speed internet connection is a must. After all, what is the point of creating golden material, if you can’t share it with the world as the Wi-Fi just won’t connect.
  • Cost -effective: You may have saved loads of cash, but it won’t last forever. Unless you are making big money, which is unlikely, you would definitely want to check the cost of living.
  • Inspirational: Working out of your suitcase can be fun and rewarding, but there will be many dark periods of homesickness and loneliness which will bring your mood down. So inspire yourself by taking an outdoor trip or just let your hair down in a crazy night club to get rid of the blues.

Some good cities for digital nomads are:

  • Canggu, Bali
  • Buenos Aires, Argentina.
  • Chiang Mai, Thailand.
  • Mexico City, Mexico
  • Medellin, Colombia.
  • Budapest, Hungary.
  • Tbilisi, Georgia.
  • Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
