I recently watched this film that focused on several digital nomads.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXGtx-hroKE
A lot of it was about the stereotypical nomad working in Asia or Eastern Europe, spending their time doing lower paid gigs to sustain them in their cheap rooms and low cost lifestyle.
Basically most are just modern day backpackers getting work off the internet to sustain them instead of the traditional bar work and labouring of old.
For many the lifestyle doesn't seem sustainable as, on such low incomes (often less than $1000 per month) it only takes one mishap and everything can go pear shaped. The whole premise seems flawed. If they had only spent a little time building a geo-dependant business before they left then they could have a much better lifestyle.
Instead of working 8 hours a day in a rented co-working space they could be enjoying the freedom of better earnings and much lower hours. Instead of living in poor accommodation they could be living in a decent apartment. I get the drive to live a free lifestyle but a lot are actually trapped. Supi is the only one that seems to have built a decent life for herself but she has been a DN for 7 years.
So for our Digital Nomad members I would love to know your experiences, the difficulties you faced and how you overcame them.
