How to Become a Digital Nomad: Pros, Cons, and Common Jobs

The FlexJobs Podcast: Career Advice & Job Search Tips

A digital nomad lives a nomadic lifestyle, moving from location to location and staying connected digitally. Digital nomads use technology and communication tools to complete work remotely in order to travel the country or the world.

Some working nomads stay in one location for a while, putting down some roots for a few weeks or few months before moving on. Some choose to change cities or countries more frequently. They work from coffee shops, hotel rooms, planes, coworking spaces, and even travel trailers.

No matter what your desired setup is, a digital nomad lifestyle relies on a remote job to easily fund any travels.

In this episode, we’re highlighting how to become a digital nomad as well as common jobs, but you can read all about the pros and cons of becoming a digital nomad in our blog post. (also check out Jobs for Digital Nomads)
