A digital nomad is a remote worker who travels to different locations while working remotely using technology and the internet. They often work in coffee shops, co-working spaces, public libraries, or hotels, using Wi-Fi, smartphones, or mobile hotspots to access the internet. Digital nomads generally have minimal material possessions and work remotely in temporary housing, such as recreational vehicles. The majority of digital nomads describe themselves as programmers, content creators, designers, or developers. Some digital nomads are perpetual travelers, while others only maintain the lifestyle for a short period of time. The term "digital nomad" started to be used in the early 1990s to describe a new type of high-tech traveling lifestyle made possible by the growth of computer networking and popularization of mobile devices like laptops, tablets, and PDAs. Becoming a digital nomad requires being organized, disciplined, and having a thirst for learning. Some things to consider before becoming a digital nomad include getting rid of unnecessary expenses, having a reliable internet connection, and being able to stay productive while enjoying new adventures.
