![]() You need the ability to work from anywhere. If your goal is to be a digital nomad, and not to simply find work in a global city (that’s a great goal too! It just was not my goal), defining career goals that do not tie you to an office is fundamental. Here’s my advice….įind remote work or take your current work remote. If you have a major case of ongoing wanderlust and dream of a remote lifestyle, you too can make the digital nomad lifestyle a reality. So I ditched the 9-5 cubicle life and worked hard to build a fully remote lifestyle to create more room for the passion that brought me 6,424 miles away from friends and family. I wanted freedom, flexibility, and the ability to work hard towards my professional goals and dreams while also pursuing one of my greatest passions, travel. I quickly realized this wasn’t quite the dream I had in mind. When I first moved here, I was excited to start a job with a local company and found myself working a 9-5 job in a cubicle. So how do you go from dreaming of a nomadic lifestyle to living it? As a California gal that loves traveling and immersing myself in different cultures, I relocated my life across the globe over a year ago to the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. This is all true, but there’s a lot to navigate personally and professionally as you move your life from a 9-5 desk job to a life where you have the flexibility to work from cities across the globe. Have a job, get a laptop, and…do your work wherever you want. Wikipedia defines a digital nomad as “a type of people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and more generally, conduct their life in a digital manner.” Investopedia defines it as, “people who are location independent and use technology to perform their job.” Ok great, looking at these two definitions, it seems pretty simple.
