Chiangmai Coffee Shop Office Meeting on Bali Beach Digital Nomad Self-discipline for Freedom
Travel + work, is it possible?
Remote work has become a new normal in the workplace, so long as you have a laptop and a stable network, you can move the “office ” to any corner of the world.
Whether it ’ s surfing season in the Philippines or winter in Chiang Mai, the “digital nomad ” lifestyle is no longer just an imagination.
After 90 years, Kristie and Kate quit their jobs during the epidemic to join the digital nomad, living and living in a different place, and returning to the rhythm of life. Kristie said, “Nomad ’ s gift to me is to help me clean up my life and start again. ”
While the reporter was writing in the newspaper, Kristie, who had returned from Xinjiang for less than a month, flew to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Browse her sharing on social media platforms, she enjoyed the sunshine while leisurely working with her laptop in the open coffee shop, so that the reporter “grape ”“ bathed ” in the white light tube was very good. Kristie began her digital nomad career early last year. Bali, northern Thailand Chiang Mai, and then to Switzerland, a full year did not return to Hong Kong, "began the journey about 1 month, I have decided to live such a life in the future."
Get up at 8 and 9 a.m. every day, go to the beach, meditate, and work efficiently for 4 hours. After dusk, learn new things, read books, and live the creative life that many wage earners dream of.
He made $50,000 a month at the peak of his career.
Before the pasture, she worked in the advertising industry, and her body and mind were eroded by the pressure of work, and she suffered from chronic gastritis, "(sometimes) pain so that she could not eat all day, and she would vomit after eating."
Finally, the doctor said that even if the prescription of many drugs is useless, because my life pressure is too big, let her decide to change the environment, for their own life to a big clean.
At that time, she took the initiative to propose a 30% pay cut to her superiors, and switched from full-time employees to freelance workers.
There is no regular income, employee welfare, she confessed that "initially very scared, suddenly lost the sense of security", so she had saved six months of living reserve before leaving to prevent zero income during the period; and for themselves to open up a new source of income, operating from the media, doing small business.
She also became an oblique person, relying on writing advertising copy, public relations and marketing planning to maintain the nomadic living expenses, peak monthly income can reach 50,000 yuan, the off-season income is only more than 10,000 yuan, but stretched to make up for the short, life is still good.
In particular, she is mostly nomadic in Southeast Asia, where the consumption is low and the quality of life is good. Taking the island of Phangan in Thailand as an example, she lives in an independent holiday home, with a monthly expenditure of about 12,000 Hong Kong dollars, such as clothing, food, housing and travel.
Low prices, good living, Indonesia, Thailand, a hot spot
In addition to freelancers like Kristie, there are also people engaged in online teaching, design, e-commerce, programming and other remote work, as well as enterprises due to industry characteristics, full-time employees can also work remotely, such as Kate working in the web3.0 industry. Web3.0 is a decentralized Internet based on blockchain technology, NFT, cryptocurrency, metaverse and other popular technology concepts in recent years. It is based on Web 3.0 technology.
Kate, 24, who worked as an occupational therapist for a year after graduating from college, found that she did not like working in fixed locations and hours, and wanted the freedom to travel while working as a digital nomad.
She is interested in cryptocurrency, so she turned to web3.0, engaged in marketing, operation of blockchain projects and other work, usually through online communication with colleagues.
"Web 3.0 is a more international company, with employees from all over the world, most of them do not have a physical office, and many times employees can only choose to work remotely."
It ’ s like living three or four different lives.
Every time she goes to different places to participate in seminars, and after completing her work, she will stay there for 1-2 weeks, traveling all over Japan, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, France, etc. Although she is a full-time employee, she has no fixed office hours, sometimes she does not need to turn on the computer all day, she can go sightseeing, sometimes she needs to meet and meet constantly. Bring a computer, wired headphones and plenty of mobile data.
When I tried to watch animals in the Australian zoo, I suddenly had a meeting; I suddenly had to deal with work on the way to shopping in Korea, and the store has been closed for seven or eight years, which is completely different from the excellent nomadic life I imagined.
Kate, who often hangs "work first" and "have self-discipline to have freedom", admits that even the beauty of the current can not be completely relaxed and appreciated, "I think you can not because your work location is not in a fixed place, and people feel unprofessional; it should make people believe that you can complete the work wherever you are, and there is quality, and no need for others to adapt, so as to maintain this way of life for a long."
Digital nomads have bitterness and sweetness, but both say they can ’ t go back after they set foot on this road.
Read this year Kristie published in the book fair, from the nomad, to find the heart of the sea ", she met on the road only two seasons of American couples, with children wandering the world of nomadic families, Lin Lin's total lifestyle has brought her a shock," I know in Hong Kong, many of them are a life to the end, but in the nomad meet them, I ’ ve lived three or four different lives, ” and there are fascinating stories in each life.
Embark on a nomadic journey to open Second Life, their book of life, and add a few unforgettable experiences.

A Computer Goes the World: What do digital nomads bring to local communities when they go to work around the world?
From Mexico to Iceland, how is the impact of digital nomad tourists traveling to destinations around the world?
The digital nomad life has boomed since COVID-19 and the fall of travel restrictions, but some on TikTok think the new type of traveler could be causing more harm than good.

Cassie, a digital nomad from Australia, came to Bali to work for two months.
She wanted to experience the local community, but instead she stumbled upon the “mini Australia ” of Canggu.
Cangu is a popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, favored by many digital nomads.
Kathy works as a virtual assistant around the world. In 2020, when she realized she could work anywhere, she thought of working as a virtual assistant on TikTok.
When her lease ended last year, she gave up office work and commuting to work remotely from her favorite place, taking charge of virtual social media and email management.
She has seen firsthand the positive and negative impact that digital nomads can have on local communities.
Canggu has become a popular destination for digital nomads escaping the traditional desk life.

"A lot of westerners have bought [Kuragi's] restaurants and villas and they really drive up prices, which in some way pushes locals out of the market," she said.
Digital nomads thrive in the era of telecommuting, often in freelance digital roles such as social media management or content creation, and even finance, where they revere the freedom to live and work overseas, free to choose their working hours and decide how to spend each day.
They are also being welcomed by the tourism and hospitality industry, with co-working cafes offering cocktails and swimming pools, while co-op hotels offer high-speed Wi-Fi and group activities.
Canggu is full of signs encouraging tourists to work remotely, and the economic benefits of tourism provide opportunities for the region.
But, as some have questioned on TikTok, is the digital nomadic movement a kind of neo-colonization?
Tourists come and go, but digital nomads can stay in one place for weeks, months or years, potentially exacerbating gentrification and the housing crisis.
Recently, The New York Times reported that Mexico City has become a hub for digital nomads, but the surge has exacerbated the pressure on the already tight housing market, making it unaffordable for locals.
Housing activists accused city leaders of allowing “modern colonization. ”
The rise of digital nomads
Countries around the world are embracing the era of digital nomads, with 50 countries, including Dubai and Iceland, offering specific visas for this new type of traveler.
To work remotely in Mexico, you need to prove that you have $43,000 in your savings account in the past 12 months; to Portugal, you need to have at least $4500 a month in income; to Indonesia, you need to have more than $200,000 in savings but can do “investment and other activities. ”
The requirements mean many digital nomads use tourist visas to leave the country when their visas expire, just to re-enter.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, between January and September last year, 3,000 foreigners entered Indonesia on B211A tourist visas for telecommuting.
One enthusiast of the digital nomad industry predicts that there will be 1 billion digital nomads by 2035, driven by factors such as the rise of high-speed internet and freelancing, as well as declining home ownership and marriage rates.
Are digital nomads taking part in the new colonization?
Some communities are opposed to the influx, and Mexico City residents say they see gentrification and housing drain problems triggered by foreigners seeking cheaper accommodation.
Anthropologist Shaun Busuttil, a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne who studies digital nomads, believes that digital nomads are undergoing some form of neo-colonization, but it ’ s not all black and white, or good and bad.
In an interview with Erik Muth of YouTube ’ s Rising Nomad channel, Basutil explained: “Historically, colonialism was when a group of people with more power or resources came into a place and effectively took over it and used the space for themselves. ”
“What are we doing as digital nomads? We go into these places, take over them, and enjoy their low cost of living. ”
Shops and businesses will eventually cater to the financial prowess of new visitors, Bousutier believes.
“So the old-fashioned fruit and vegetable shop that has been in town or village for generations now has suddenly turned into a cafe to attract digital nomads.
Is digital nomadism, then, a form of neocolonialism? ” he asked.
"Well, we're coming in and we're effectively taking over," he said.
"Look at Lisbon, or even Mexico City, or Barcelona, where locals are being replaced by foreign teleworkers and digital nomads," he said.
He told Moos that while it was usually those with fewer resources who were most affected by gentrification, those with more resources were able to take advantage of the economic opportunities offered by tourism.
How to avoid causing problems?
Keith thinks deeply about the impact on the communities he visits and how it can have a positive impact.
"As a digital nomad, I feel like we should make sure we contribute to the local economy - eat at local restaurants, stay locally and pay a reasonable fee for that," said the statement.
Both Busutil and Casey believe tourists should pay the full price, not haggle.
“It ’ s important to be aware of the impact you have on the local area, ” says Casey.
"That way you can walk into the local community, eat at the local restaurants, stay in the local area, and give back to the local community," said the statement.
At the moment, Casey likes the pace of life of digital nomads and has no plans for a pause.
“Being able to finish work in the morning and then off work and take an adventure in the afternoon – I experienced paragliding in Laos and was great and went swimming to see the waterfall – I think when you can schedule your own time, you can experience more from life. ”

MUMBAI: Want to chill out on Malaysian beaches without taking leave from work? Well, this country is the latest to jump on to the bandwagon with its offering of a digital-nomad pass.
It joins countries as varied as Estonia, Malta, Bahamas, Cyprus, Thailand and many others, which following the pandemic have opened up their doors to digital nomads – people who work remotely but from another country. However, tax and other regulatory issues, both for the employer and the individual need to be borne in mind, before moving to these exotic locations.
From October 1, the Malaysian government has begun to accept online applications for the newly introduced digital nomad pass, termed as the ‘DE Rantau Nomad Pass Program’. Eligible foreign nationals whose annual income is over $ 24,000 can apply and can stay in Malaysia with their dependents for up to three to 12 months initially, with an option to extend for another year. This is a multiple-entry programme, unlike tourist visa, which is a single entry scheme with a validity of just three months. The applicant has to submit proof of work or employment and pay the requisite fees.

With the waves of globalization and digitalization coming together, a new way of life and work – digital nomadism – is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, shining warmly and vividly into reality.
This is a group of Internet wingers who travel between the warp and weft of the earth, treat the world as a borderless office, enjoy a life of high income and freedom, and sow the seeds of innovation and vitality for the global tourism industry.
Governments should seize this opportunity to attract this new generation of nomadic elites, without compromising local job markets.
Digital nomads cover software development engineers, content creation artists, digital marketing strategists, designers in the design field, etc. They break free of the shackles of the traditional office environment and take the earth as the stage to interpret the wonderful life of traveling while working.
Their income is not only higher than the average of most people, but also because of the flexibility of working remotely, leaving a footprint in every corner of the world to explore and experience the baptism of multiculturalism.
Under the haze of the coronavirus epidemic, urban residents' yearning for distance has become stronger, and some tourist hotspots have keenly captured this change, and have launched special visa programs for digital nomads in order to alleviate the winter tourism brought by the epidemic.
It is estimated that some 35 million people will join the digital nomadic army by 2022, and it is expected that the number will continue to increase.
As an Internet power, China's digital nomad population has also exploded, and by the end of 2023, the potential scale has reached nearly 100 million people.

A Guide for College Students Embracing the Digital Nomad Lifestyle

A digital nomad is someone who works remotely and travels often. Their work doesn’t require them to report to an office or adhere to a strict schedule. Instead, they can work anywhere in the world, doing the job they love.

It’s no wonder this lifestyle is appealing more to college students. They can travel the world while studying and working abroad. That said, being a college student and a digital nomad is a challenge. It’s not like a vacation where all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.

You have to learn how to balance the fun of traveling with work and school commitments. The following tips will help you do just that.

Understand What the Digital Nomad Lifestyle Will Be Like

You have to understand what the digital nomad lifestyle will be like if you want it to work out. You can assess whether this life is for you, and better prepare for it if you decide that it is.

Here are some critical points to consider about the digital nomad lifestyle:

  • A work-life balance is a must
  • Traveling often can be exhausting
  • You must ensure access to healthcare
  • You need a plan for financial stability
  • You’ll have to adapt to new cultures and languages
  • Knowing visa requirements and other legal requirements is essential
  • You might experience homesickness, especially if you go international
  • Balancing school with work and life in a new place is a big commitment

Dig into these factors and research all you’ll have to do and give up to be a digital nomad. Then, you can make an informed decision about moving forward.

Master Time Management

You’ll have to take your time management up a few notches if you want to be a digital nomad.

It’s one thing to balance life and school. It’s another to balance life, school, traveling, and potentially, work. You must learn how to divide your days so that you pay each of these things the attention they need. In addition, time management will ensure you don’t burn out.

Start with a routine to build some consistency into your days. Wake up at the same time regardless of your schedule and get ready for your days the same way.

You can establish priority tasks the night before, like your classes, if you’re working, and when you’ll study. Set aside time for breaks, meals, and leisure time as well. Building these activities into your schedule will ensure you actually do them.

Attach times to each task and activity. For example, you have classes from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Next, you’ll have lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. After that, you have work from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Then, you’ll study from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the rest of the night is yours.

Manage your time wisely and you can achieve everything you set out for each day.

Learn How to Stay Productive

One of the biggest challenges digital nomads run into is staying productive. All of the fun activities you can do when you travel to a new place can be distracting. It might be hard to stay motivated when you’re homesick. Technical and logistical issues can impact your productivity as well.

So, learning how to maintain peak productivity while studying and working on the road is essential.

Adhering to the routine we mentioned above will help keep you focused. Eliminate distractions while working by turning your phone on Do Not Disturb and muting social media apps. Create a designated workspace. You could also incentivize productivity by promising yourself a fun activity after you complete your work.

Secure your tech setup as well to maintain optimal productivity. Make sure you have the basics, like a good laptop set up with the proper work and school software and noise-canceling headphones.

Another crucial tool to have is a mobile hotspot. A hotspot ensures you can connect to the internet wirelessly on your mobile devices from virtually anywhere. This will come in handy when you travel internationally or to places with spotty internet connections. No matter where you are, you can still access your studies and any work you’re doing online.

Equip yourself with the right tools and techniques to stay productive as a digital nomad.

Choose Work That Aligns With Your Studies and Interests

Digital nomads are known to take many different directions with their work. You have options and can easily make a living while studying and traveling abroad. The key is ensuring the work you do doesn’t distract from your education and pull you away from who you are.

You’ll have a much better experience as a digital nomad if you choose work that aligns with your studies and interests. Rather than taking the barista job at the local cafe, work with your school to see if there are any work-study opportunities where you’re traveling.

You can also take the job search into your own hands. Search for job openings before you head to your destination through online job boards. Ask for referrals from fellow students.

Consider fully remote positions as well. There are many work-from-home jobs available that can accommodate a college student’s digital nomad lifestyle, such as being a tutor or a content writer for subjects related to your major.

Whatever work you decide to do, make sure it doesn’t take away from your studies and aligns with who you are and what you want to be.

Conclusion

Many college students are attracted to the digital nomad lifestyle because it allows them to travel freely while studying and working where they want to. As enticing as this life is, being a digital nomad isn’t void of challenges.

Make sure you understand what you’re getting into, master time management, learn to stay productive, and choose work that aligns with your studies and interests to give yourself a real chance at a successful digital nomad life.
