4 Reasons To Be A Digital Nomad


• You want to work for yourself either as a freelancer or by running your own business

• You want to be location independent• You aren’t in it to become a millionaire but

rather to enjoy your work and be free• You want to be proud of your work

What Is A Digital Nomad?


The popular definition is that digital nomads are individuals who leverage telecommunications technologies to perform their work duties, and more generally conduct their lifestyle in a nomadic manner. Such workers typically work remotely—from home, coffee shops, public libraries and even from recreational vehicles to accomplish tasks and goals that used to traditionally take place in a single stationary workplace.

What Does It Have To Do With Tiny Houses?


Without getting into the conversation of what is a tiny house I submit that being a digital nomad is almost entirely about:

Stuff –vs- Experience

Stuff doesn’t make anyone happy.

Experiences do.

Cutting My Own Throat


Hardest thing I had to determine

Travelers aren’t digital nomads and bloggers often aren’t inspired. Yet while digital nomads often blog about their travel experiences they do so as a by-product of their life and work.

Digital Nomads Are Location Independent


Consider this:

Renting an apt. in Thailand costs about US $200/month for one bedroom w/ private bath and living room. Utilities and water add about $65/month for heat/air. Food can be as little as US $200/month.

TOTAL = $465/month
