Content: Is the American Dream dead? Couple who moved to Ecuador say they're 'aging in reverse' after escaping 'toxic hamster wheel' culture in the US - as families head overseas amid crippling debt and soaring house prices

  • Americans are choosing to up sticks and move to countries with lower cost of living and higher quality of life
  • Only 36 percent of Americans still believe in the 'American dream' that if you work hard, you'll get ahead
  • Young people who are saddled with student loans and facing high house prices are particularly likely to move away

Americans are trading in crippling debt and soaring house prices for white sand beaches and cheap rent abroad as some expats say the 'American dream is dead'.

One middle-aged couple who gave up their house and jobs to move to Ecuador even said they lost 50lbs after escaping the 'toxic hamster wheel' culture in the US.

And they're not alone. An estimated 9 million Americans live abroad currently, up from 6.8 million in 2013, according to the most recent State Department data.

House prices, inflation and debt have driven many to up sticks and move to countries with a lower cost of living and higher quality of life.

October polling by NORC found that only 36 percent of Americans still believe in the 'American dream' that 'if you work hard you'll get ahead'.

Amelia and JP said the only thing they regret is not moving abroad sooner

JP and Amelia with friends they have made since moving to Ecuador

And half of Americans believe the 'economic and political systems in the country are stacked against people like me' and that life is worse for people like them now than 50 years ago.

Instead, hundreds of people - particularly older and younger people - are choosing to move abroad in search of a 'better life'.

JP Stonestreet and Amelia Basista left Colorado to move to Ecuador in 2017 and now run a business helping other people move to live abroad.

They told DailyMail.com the only thing they regret is 'not going sooner'.

The pair were 'doing the American dream' in Colorado before they left, JP said: 'We had the house and the two cars and the mortgage'.

Amelia was out on the road four days a week for her regional sales job, while JP worked from home as a website designer, leaving them very little time to see friends or spend time together.

Amelia said: 'It was stressful, it was draining and it felt like my whole life was about my job - and it wasn't how I wanted to live my life, but I didn’t know what to do - but it’s kind of the American way of life, to be available 24/7.'

The pair have travelled more since moving to Ecuador including to Porto, Portugal

Day in the life: Colorado

4.30am: Amelia wakes up to go to a work out class before work

6.00am: Return home to get ready for work

8.30am: Set off on the road

Meetings and sales calls all day working on products while JP worked from home, he said: 'I was really a hermit, it was not good for me mentally. I just sat in front of my computer and worked all the time.'

4.00-6.00pm: Networking event

7.00pm: Home to eat dinner with JP

9.00pm: Go to bed

Day in the life: Ecuador

No alarm set, wake up as the sun rises around 6.30am

Take the dog for a walk along the river

A yoga or belly-dancing class

Go shopping and cook lunch together

Do some work in the afternoon

Take a language class

Go out for dinner with friends or play dice at a bar

JP said: 'I still say sometimes when we’re doing something fun: "Amelia it’s Tuesday afternoon!" And we can’t believe we’re doing something so fun on a Tuesday.'

They were earning around $8,000 a month between them, but were left with nothing after paying their mortgage, student loans and living expenses.

Then, JP got sick. He said: 'When I had my back injury and had to have two major spine surgeries in two months, I couldn’t work, I had a year of recovery, and after that we couldn’t afford the house and the cars anymore.

'We sold the cars and the house and moved into a one-bed in Denver - we were still going into the hole every month because of all the debt. We were in trouble. We didn’t know what to do, it was a very stressful time.'

The pair considered taking out a second mortgage, but they didn't want to get into more debt - already facing student loans and other bills of over $60,000 to pay off.

So they took a leap of faith, and moved to Cuenca, in Ecuador.

Their life changed completely, JP said: 'We’re able to spend our time together, we’ve paid off our debt, we’re able to save for retirement finally. We don’t set an alarm in the morning, we wake up when we wake up - we cook together.

'We were both overweight and we've lost about 50lbs combined'.

Ecuador: Cost of living

In Ecuador, the pair have a combined income between $8,000 and $10,000.

When they first moved, they only spent $1,500/month in total for rent, health insurance, food, travel and entertainment, that has now increased as they realized they don't need to be so frugal.

They paid $800/month for their first three bed, three bath home in Cuenca.

They then paid $2,500/month for a luxury beachfront condo

Private health insurance for $240/month for full coverage for both of them.

And their cost of living has dropped substantially, meaning they are also able to save for retirement in a way they never were in the US.

JP said: 'I was really close to either dying or being paralyzed from neck down and we realized working towards a retirement we may never be able to afford wasn’t worth it.

'That was when we realized the American dream was dying - that it doesn’t exist any more. Many people are telling us they'll have to work until they die, they’re stuck in this cycle.'

The couple are one of hundreds who have fled rising cost of living in the US fueled by the pandemic and inflation.

Older people are increasingly likely to make the move when they realize they are working for a retirement they may not be able to afford.

At the end of 2021, nearly 450,000 retirees received their social security benefits outside the US, up from 307,000 in 2008, according to the Social Security Administration.

But younger people are moving too - on TikTok, young American influencers share clips from their exotic lifestyles abroad.

Cara Celeste West, 32, was living in Austin, Texas and working as a sales manager when her family decided to up sticks and become 'completely nomadic'.

The family decided to leave the US so they could pay off their debt and enjoy a higher quality of life abroad

Cara said it was hard giving up her life in the US but that she has no regrets

She told DailyMail.com: 'I was living the standard American lifestyle with a standard two-bedroom apartment in a nice area close to downtown Austin.

'My husband and I were both working full-time jobs, each had a vehicle, and could afford to go on weekend getaways from time to time.'

But it wasn't perfect, they were paying $1530 per month for a two-bedroom apartment, and were in about $70,000 of debt.

She said: 'Because we were in so much debt, we did not have the funds to put our daughter in day care so we were working opposite schedules to avoid paying for childcare, which meant we often never saw each other.'

So they made the decision to become 'completely nomadic', she said: 'We decided to sell almost everything we owned and live abroad because we wanted to spend more time together as a family rather than working so much to pay for our living expenses.'

She added: 'And most importantly, living abroad has provided us with a much more sense of safety than in the US'.

She started a new job as a luxury travel concierge and the family are currently in Greece.

She said: 'Because we are able to bring our U.S. based income to other countries where the cost of living is more affordable we can stretch our income further for our basic needs such as food, healthcare, housing, and child care.'

She said: 'Living in America has, for many families and individuals, become a life of living paycheck to paycheck or borrowing money in the form of loans or putting basic necessities on credit cards.

'Many people are just trying to get by and the financial stress has diminished the quality of life for many.

Inflation hits The American Dream: It now costs a staggering $3.4 million to get married, buy a home, raise children, cover healthcare and retire (plus there's $8k for a funeral!)

The so-called 'American Dream' is the benchmark that many people hope to achieve in their lifetime - getting married, buying a home and a car and raising children.

But new analysis has found that achieving these milestones now costs a staggering $3,455,305 - much more than most Americans will make in their lifetime.

One of the biggest amounts is for paying off a mortgage on a property. The average homebuyer will fork out $796,998, according to Investopedia - assuming a 10 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed loan at 7.2 percent interest.

'It has not been an easy journey for us, it’s been honestly one of the most challenging things we’ve ever done to part with so many of the material things we worked so hard to obtain but we realized that our main goal was to have a life that aligned with our morals and values.

'Although we live a very minimalistic lifestyle now, living in countries that allow our income to stretch and living below our means, and giving up on achieving the American dream in America, has allowed us to achieve something better abroad - Freedom.'

Last week it was revealed that Americans need an extra $11,400 a year on average to afford the same quality of life they enjoyed in 2021, according to analysis from Republican members of the US Senate Joint Economic Committee.

Colorado is the worst hit state, where residents must fork out an extra $14,995 to afford the same quality of life as two years ago.

Housing affordability slumped to a multi-decade low this year. During the pandemic house prices ballooned from $329,000 in January 2020 to $433,000 two years later, according to US census data.

Mortgage rates have also soared, somebody purchasing a $400,000 home two years ago would pay around $1,623 a month for their mortgage.

The same buyer today faces monthly payments of $2,585 - more than $1,000 extra.

Between October 2022 and October 2023, car insurance, white bread and shelter were up 19.2, 7.1 and 6.7 percent respectively

As well as negative factors in the US, there are also positive factors pulling Americans abroad.

The process has also gotten easier and for Americans, getting a visa is relatively straightforward.

Forty-three countries - including Greece, Portugal and Spain - have put in place Digital Nomad visas, where you can work remotely for a year or there are Golden Visa pathways, Entrepreneur visas or retirement or work visas.

According to relocation company, Lexidy, the most common country Americans move to is Mexico, followed by Canada and then there are smaller populations in France, Italy, Germany and Israel.

Close to 800,000 Americans are in Mexico alone, 200,000 in France and 72,000 in Greece.

Content: “The digital nomads. ”
A phenomenon that has been expanding since the Coronavirus pandemic, and that is how governments use them.
The speed of the internet has given rise to a new way of working remotely, called “digital nomads. ”
The “digital nomads ” are often young people, who work using digital sites, and do not want to work from a fixed location in a particular country, but move from one country to another, combining work and tourism.
The coronavirus pandemic has helped turn this once marginal phenomenon into a spreading trend.
This has led governments in many countries to increasingly offer people visas to allow them to work there on a temporary basis.
Attracting through the granting of visas
Countries such as Namibia, Ecuador, Belize, Malaysia and Albania have recently issued visas to attract digital nomads.
In Europe, Malta, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece and Hungary followed suit.
Countries ’ motivations range from wanting to compensate for the loss of tourists during the outbreak to accepting the positive side of hybrid methods of work, while others want to attract workers to compensate for their lack of skilled labor and their aging populations.
All of this helps to accept digital nomads, who are no longer seen by countries as job dropouts, but as pioneers of a new way of life.
Digital nomads see themselves as part of an international community, sharing tips and experiences on the best places to live and work online.
The digital nomadic capital of Africa
With European appeal and Mediterranean weather, Cape Town is Africa ’ s “digital nomadic capital ” with reliable infrastructure, including high-speed internet, beaches, mountains and cheap, high-quality food.
Nairobi is another popular destination in Africa and is also a good starting point for the many safari opportunities in Kenya.

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.

Content: Thousands of digital nomads staying in Croatia, longer stay problematic

NEWS 12.02.2023 15:31

Croatia, a country with a dwindling population, has become a hot destination for digital nomads - mostly young, highly educated and rich foreigners. Thousands of them are staying in the country, but the small number of those wishing to stay longer have to be resourceful as the law does not allow a stay of more than one year.

The global number of digital nomads is estimated at around 35 million. According to some estimates, that number is expected to reach one billion by 2035.

Croatia ranks high on the list of digital nomads’ favourite destinations. Even though data vary, depending on the source of information, a survey conducted by the Nomad List platform shows Croatia is globally the most attractive destination for digital nomads.

Croatia is a small country but what it offers is diverse so it attracts different groups of digital nomads, says Jan de Jong, founder of the Digital Nomads Croatia association.

The Dutch, who lives in Croatia, in 2020 launched amendment of the relevant laws owing to which Croatia introduced, as one of the first European countries to do so, a visa for digital nomads, enabling citizens of third countries to stay in the country for up to one year.

10,000 digital nomads staying in Croatia on a monthly basis

De Jong notes that one of the main reasons why digital nomads come to Croatia, besides infrastructure, which mostly includes the need for a good internet connection and an established community of digital nomads, is the lifestyle Croatia offers, which, in an addition to everything else, is very affordable.

That lifestyle seems to be very affordable to digital nomads, as an average digital nomad makes around €6,500 a month, according to Nomad List.

At the end of January 2023, there were 595 valid visas for digital nomads in Croatia, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior, however, that figure is much below the actual number of digital nomads staying in Croatia because it refers only to third-country citizens staying here for more than three months.

To get a complete picture of the situation, one should take into account EU citizens, who move freely throughout EU territory, including Croatia, without time limitations, as well as the large number of digital nomads from third countries staying in Croatia for less than a month.

The Ministry of the Interior says that it does not keep a record of the latter two categories of digital nomads, so their number can only be estimated.

Judging by trends for individual cities, including Zadar, Split and Zagreb, on the Nomad List platform, de Jong concludes that roughly 5,000 digital nomads arrive in Croatia a month. If every digital nomad is estimated to stay in Croatia for two months, one can say that around 10,000 digital nomads are staying in Croatia every month.

Meanwhile, after Croatia was one of the first European countries to introduce visas for digital nomads, other European countries have followed suit.

In addition to the basic requirements, such as remote work or self-employment and a certain minimum monthly income, which in Croatia amounts to €2,300, while in Iceland it is more than €6,000 – the visa for digital nomads also regulates the longest allowed stay in the country.

Croatia is one of the countries with more restrictive rules because if a digital nomad likes the country and wants to stay for more than a year, they must leave the country for at least six months in order to be able to apply for a visa again.

On the other hand, in other European countries the visa can mostly be extended, depending on the country, for example, in the Czech Republic a digital nomad visa can be extended for a period of three years in total.

Purpose of visa country’s tourist promotion

Even though de Jong says that the purpose of the visa for digital nomads was never to allow permanent stays, he notes that a certain number of digital nomads contact his association looking for advice on what to do if they want to stay in the country.

Asked if there is a legal way to extend the visa, the Ministry of the Interior says that that option does not exist and that it cannot even be extended with a permit for extended tourist stay.

The ministry explains this with the fact that the sole purpose of visas for digital nomads was “Croatia’s tourism promotion.”

One of those who got caught in that legal limbo is Steve Tsentserensky, a copywriter from Ohio, USA, who was among the first digital nomads to get a visa in Croatia.

During his six-month stay in Zagreb, he fell so much in love with the city that he decided to return for a longer period of time.

Asked how he would do that, because the law restricts his stay, unless he marries a Croat, establishes a company or finds employment, he says that he will do what is feasible to regulate his stay and probably again apply for a visa for digital nomads.

He stresses, however, that it would be good if the visa could be extended for a longer period of time, without applicants having to leave the country because they all have the possibility to reapply after the expiry of the six-month period, and the conditions are completely the same.

Another digital nomad, a woman from the USA, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that after the expiry of her visa she did not want to leave the country and that, even though she kept the same job for which she receives a US salary, she found the solution in a fictitious employment contract.

Somebody offered me a work permit, she says cautiously. She considered other ways as well, such as starting a business, and was also advised to marry, but she believes that with the work permit she has also found a way to contribute to the community she lives in by paying taxes, because as a digital nomad she does not have to do it.

Both Americans like the relaxed lifestyle of Zagreb residents, which is why they want to stay for some time.

They did not say how long, but the woman said that she is actively learning Croatian and not thinking about leaving the country.

When they stay longer, they become immigrants

Caroline Hornstein-Tomic, a researcher at the Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences, says that digital nomads are usually highly educated people, mostly in their 30s, who are also excellent consumers.

“If they decide to stay longer, they become a kind of immigrants,” she says and adds that there is still no research in Croatia on how digital nomads impact local communities, but that that impact certainly exists.

They boost tourism as well as other sectors of the economy, they have encouraged the development of infrastructure and the establishment of numerous hubs, as well as services that meet their need to get along in the new country, she says.

Hornstein-Tomic says that she has interviewed some of the nomads who have been staying on Dalmatian islands, and that she has heard about their positive experiences with the local community.

“Those who have decided to stay longer are interested in local jobs or business development, and they also do volunteer work, so apart from financial resources, they also have knowledge that they like to share,” says Hornstein-Tomic.

Commenting on the demographic potential of that group, de Jong says that digital nomads follow new trends and no longer go to countries where they have better-paying jobs but rather those where they like the lifestyle, bringing their well-paid jobs with them.

He thinks that the current remote work revolution will continue and that a reversal of the trend is not likely.

That trend can be the biggest opportunity for Croatia, from where around half a million people have emigrated over the past ten years looking for better-paying jobs, says de Jong, who has lived in Croatia for the past 16 years.

Content: WFH to Japan? Government proposes digital nomad visa to attract remote office workers
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
The Japanese government is considering issuing digital nomad visas to attract “digital nomads ” who travel around the world while working remotely to Japan.
As more and more countries introduce digital nomad visas, the Japanese government also hopes to boost spending by foreign visitors by creating a convenient environment for highly skilled digital workers.
The visa programme is expected to be completed this month.

Content: Nike CEO Blames Innovation Slowdown On Remote Work: Here Are Some Pros And Cons Of Working From Home

IT Trending Desk
Updated on Apr 18, 2024, 14:10 IST

Nike CEO John Donahoe blamed remote work for the company's lack of innovation, claiming that it is difficult to be innovative when people work from home.

Nike CEO blamed remote work for lack of innovation

In an interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen from Paris, Donahoe was asked about the company's lack of new items in its lineup, which had caused alarm among investors.

"What’s been missing is the kind of bold, disruptive innovation that Nike’s known for and when we look back, the reasons are fairly straightforward," Donahoe said in a statement.

He noted that footwear companies in Vietnam were forced to close during the Covid-19 pandemic, but said that "even more importantly," Nike employees worked from home for 2.5 years.

In recent years, the concept of remote work has surged in popularity, driven by advancements in technology and changing attitudes towards traditional office environments.

The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this trend, pushing many companies to adopt remote work models out of necessity. While working from home offers numerous advantages, it also comes with its own set of challenges. Let's delve into the pros and cons of remote work.

What are the pros of working from home?

1. Flexibility: One of the most significant benefits of remote work is the flexibility it provides. Employees can often choose their own hours, allowing for a better work-life balance. This flexibility is particularly valuable for parents, caregivers, or individuals with unique scheduling needs.

2. Cost Savings: Remote work eliminates the need for commuting, saving employees both time and money. Additionally, companies can reduce overhead costs associated with maintaining office space, such as rent, utilities, and office supplies.

3. Increased Productivity: Many employees report higher levels of productivity when working remotely. With fewer distractions and the ability to create a personalized work environment, individuals often find it easier to focus on tasks and accomplish more in less time.

4. Global Talent Pool: Remote work opens up opportunities for companies to hire talent from around the world. By removing geographical barriers, organizations can access a diverse pool of skilled professionals, leading to greater innovation and creativity.

5. Reduced Environmental Impact: With fewer people commuting to and from the office, remote work contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions and traffic congestion. This aligns with sustainability goals and helps create a greener, more environmentally friendly workforce.

What are the cons of working from home?

1. Isolation and Lack of Social Interaction: Working remotely can be isolating, especially for extroverted individuals who thrive on social interactions. The absence of face-to-face communication may lead to feelings of loneliness and disconnect from colleagues.

2. Difficulty in Setting Boundaries: Without a clear separation between work and home life, remote workers may struggle to establish boundaries. This can result in longer working hours, difficulty unplugging after work, and ultimately, burnout.

3. Communication Challenges: Remote teams often rely heavily on digital communication tools, such as email, chat, and video conferencing. While these tools facilitate collaboration, they can also lead to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and a lack of clarity.

4. Potential for Distractions: While remote work eliminates some workplace distractions, it introduces new ones, such as household chores, family members, or noisy neighbors. Staying focused in a home environment requires discipline and self-control.

5. Tech Issues and Connectivity Problems: Dependence on technology means that remote workers are susceptible to technical glitches, internet outages, and other connectivity issues. These disruptions can disrupt workflow and cause frustration.

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.

The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic all but accelerated the transition to the remote work lifestyle, and now that the pandemic has just about subsided, most of us have become used to the work-from-home routine. As a matter of fact, many full-time work-from-home professionals have grown to love this way of life since it affords them more time with family members and an opportunity to travel while they work.

The prospect of being a digital nomad is a pretty enthralling one. Exploring different destinations while also managing your work routine is a luxury only afforded to a few. However, a nomadic work lifestyle isn't all about merry-making and enjoying destinations. There needs to be a proper setup that allows you to ensure your travel lifestyle doesn't affect your work and productivity.

That's precisely why having a mobile office with the right gadgets in your kit is a necessity that cannot be overlooked. Here's taking a peek at some of the most essential gadgets that need to make it to your working kit if you aspire to be a digital nomad.

1. A lightweight laptop

Microsoft Surface 4 Pro

The Microsoft Surface 4 Pro checks all the boxes as the perfect travel laptop. It's a lightweight, compact tablet that offers you the powers of a laptop. You can also use a stylus pen for more comfortable and convenient navigation.

The device in which all things start and come to an end; you simply can't set up without one. If you're looking for a laptop that suits a nomadic lifestyle, the weight and compactness of the device carry as much importance as your configurational choices.

For this specific purpose, we'd recommend going with the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4. It weighs only 2.79 lbs - the ideal weight to go for if you're a frequent traveler. Also, the screen size is perfect, as it contributes massively to the overall size of the laptop. Also, you can use this as a tablet with a stylus pen for even more convenience.

2. A WiFi hotspot

GlocalMe U3 WiFi Hotspot

The GlocalMe Wifi Hotspot boasts a 3000mAh battery life along with 13 hours of use. It can be used in over 140 countries and provides and adds tremendous stability to your work by providing a stable internet connection during travel. Also, you need not pay any roaming fees to use this hotspot.

The internet is the next most important thing to consider after a laptop. A WiFi hotspot goes a long way in delivering internet at impressive speed so you can focus on work without any hassle. Now, the best solution would be to use the hotspot from your phone. Why spend on a device when you can do it from a phone that you already have?

Well, a wireless WiFi hotspot adds more convenience to your travel. You don't need a SIM card for it, and the device can also deliver fast internet by smartly selecting a fast network. Secondly, you're not paying for any roaming charges; it's a pay-as-you-go WiFi facility. Also, wireless WiFi hotspots have advanced security features, so rest assured your data is in safe hands! We recommend going for the GlocalMe U3 Mobile Wireless Hotspot if you decide on getting one.

3. A USB charging station

Baseus PowerCombo USB-C Charger

The Baseus PowerCombo can charge up to 6 devices simultaneously. It's also compatible with a host of laptops, phones, and tablets, so you can have all the charging requirements in one place. Also, it offers overpower protection.

A power station is a basic need for any digital nomad who wishes to save desk space. It's a one-size-fits-all solution that can power up multiple tech devices all at once. Be it a tablet, laptop, or phone — a multiport charging station will leave you in awe in terms of the convenience it brings to your life.

The Baseus PowerCombo USB-C charging station is a great choice at a reasonable price tag that can charge all your devices simultaneously. It'll ensure you don't need to clean up the clutter of tangled wires around your desk — say goodbye to tangled wires affecting your productivity when you have this device at your aid!

4. A work desk

Worky Home Office

The Home Office desk is an innovative solution to clearing clutter on a desk and embracing an organized approach to work. Apart from holding your stationery items and laptop, it also offers desk storage for some more. There are many other exciting features that make it a must-have for any nomad or a frequent traveler.

What if we tell you it's possible to carry your entire office setup in a bag? When we say 'work desk,' the usual laptop elevator lap desk comes to our mind. But that'd be too bulky to carry when you're traveling. After all, convenient travel is all about carrying stuff that doesn't take up a lot of space, and hence, traditional lap desks don't make the cut here.

Instead, this innovative Home Office portable workstation by Worky is all you need to have with you when setting out for your next workstation. It can hold a laptop and stationery items and also comes with built-in charging ports. There's also a video conferencing light that is useful for illuminating your workspace during meetings.

The most striking feature here is you can store all of these in the briefcase and set out for your next destination without having to worry about packing each item separately. It's lightweight and portable enough, so you can easily carry it during travel.

5. Noise-cancelling headphones

Beats Studio Earbuds

The Beats Studio buds offer a powerful and balanced sound output. They're a great choice to go for if you're looking for earbuds that'll last for a long time and provide quality output. The lightweight and compact design of the earbuds means you won't need to compromise on your backpack storage space. Also, they are available in five different colors.

Work-from-home, as much as it does allow you to explore new places, you simply cannot cut off contact with your colleagues. Collaborations are important, and a pair of the correct noise-canceling headphones can help you have smooth and seamless communication with them. You can also get a pair of headphones in this case, but we'd specifically recommend earbuds to align more with the objective of using products that take up minimal space in your luggage.

The Beats Studio earbuds deliver a powerful and well-balanced sound and also come with two distinct listening modes: Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. In terms of performance, these earbuds offer up to 8 hours of use. They come with a charging case, so your earbuds will keep on charging when you store them.

What's more, the Beats Studio earbuds are also IPX4 sweat and water-resistant. You can connect them to your laptop via Bluetooth. All in all, they're a great choice if you're looking for quality earbuds that ooze quality and can last for a long time.

6. A Portable wireless mouse

FENIFOX Flat Wireless Mouse

An ultra-thin and slim wireless mouse that's easy to carry anywhere. It also takes up very little safe in contrast to the traditional mouse and is very easy to operate. . Also, it comes with a low-decibel button that is suitable for coffee shops, libraries, and other occasions.

A portable wireless mouse can allow you to navigate easily if you're uncomfortable using the laptop mousepad. In this case, we would recommend going for the FENIFOX slim and portable wireless mouse.

It's a pretty compact and lightweight mouse that looks so thin you'd feel as if it's very much aligned with the surface. It boasts compatibility with a wide array of devices and is an environment-friendly and energy-saving device.

(MENAFN- Evertise Digital)

Jackson, Wyoming, United States, October 2, 2023 – Digital nomads work remotely from various places worldwide. They embrace a location-independent lifestyle. Approximately 45% of global digital nomads stay in one place for one to three months. Choosing where to stay is essential as it impacts their work, lifestyle, and experience.

Jackson Hole has become a top spot for remote workers looking for some inspiration. It has jaw-dropping nature surroundings and a rad small-town vibe.

When it comes to designing the future of work, one size fits none. Discovering success isn’t about a hybrid model or offering remote work options. Individuals and organizations are looking for more freedom. The freedom to choose the work model that makes the most sense. The freedom to choose their own values. And the freedom to pursue what matters most. We reached out to successful leaders and thought leaders across all industries to glean their insights and predictions about how to create a future that works.

As a part of our interview series called “How Employers and Employees are Reworking Work Together,” we had the pleasure to interview Linsay Moran.

An operational leader, committed to social impact businesses, Linsay had a career as an events director and more recently, played a key leadership role in a rapidly scaling engineering company prior to co-founding Unwrapit. Linsay is passionate about supporting, mentoring and amplifying women, in all stages of their career.

Thank you for making time to visit with us about the topic of our time. Our readers would like to get to know you a bit better. Can you please tell us about one or two life experiences that most shaped who you are today.

Thanks for the opportunity to connect!

It was one decision that defined two of my most significant life experiences.

At the age of 23, a fresh university graduate, I decided to pack my bags and move to London to work and live for a short period of time. My intention was to live in London for 6–8 weeks and spend a few additional weeks travelling throughout Europe.

The decision to embrace this “life experience” taught me a lesson, one that continues to shape who I am today. The lesson was fairly cliché and a variation on “things don’t always work out as you plan and as a result, stay open to opportunities”. Upon arriving in London I secured a short-term role as a PA (personal assistant). They needed someone in the position full-time but the agency placed me temporarily as they worked to secure their candidate.

Within a week the Founder/Owner of the business told the agency to cease the search and asked me to take on the full-time position. I would have never applied for the role, thinking I didn’t have the qualifications (nor did I plan to stay in London long-term). Instead, I demonstrated my ability to learn, leaned into my “roll up the sleeves” approach and realized it was something I could be good at. I went on to work for that company for about a year and learned so much about the corporate events industry in the UK.

During that time I understood the concept that life truly is too short. Just a few days after landing in the UK, I found out that one of my closest friends had been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 24. She fought for her life but in the end she passed away just five short months after diagnosis.

When I came back to Canada I was determined to do something in her honour. It led me to the world of nonprofit organizations and I’m grateful for that experience. I had the opportunity to work with individuals who had careers rooted in giving back. I learned an incredible amount in just a few years with strong leadership who took a chance on me and pushed me to get outside of my comfort zone and take on challenges I may not have initially felt prepared for . I try to do the same for other new team members as I recognize how much this shaped me.

Let’s zoom out. What do you predict will be the same about work, the workforce and the workplace 10–15 years from now? What do you predict will be different?

Work will always play an important role in an individual’s life, by its very nature. But the notion of someone being defined by their work is shifting and changing. Life is full of uncertainties, especially during a global pandemic. And for many, the last two years have proven that nothing is permanent. This has been an awakening for many.

I think (hope) that individuals will still find meaningful relationships at work. With colleagues that they learn from and grow with. And there will of course be challenges that run alongside that. “Office politics” will still play a role in a virtual or in-person world with new challenges to overcome.

Another thing that is the same and evolving further is the idea that “work” isn’t just confined to your job or an office. People are connecting through LInkedIn, networking organizations and events in a way that they might not have before.

Additionally, I was chatting with our newest team member (Awurakua Anim) about this question and she offered some great insights regarding what would be different. Her objective view is interesting, as someone recently graduated from University and new to the workforce. We talked about companies further investing in their team and prioritizing transparent, employee-focused, policies. We saw this recently with the #showusyourleave movement that rocketed around LinkedIn over the last few weeks. She also noted that companies, our own included, need to further invest and prioritize building systems around their internal and external processes. And that this is particularly important when someone first starts a new role.

And of course, the shift to remote work will continue to drive innovation in tech platforms that connect people and teams. The tools available to us, many developed over the last two years, are allowing for efficiencies at work and fostering better remote connections. Something that most of us wouldn’t have thought was possible just a few years ago. I am not afraid to admit that I was guilty of thinking that an office and a company was defined by four walls and in-person presence. I also acknowledge that some companies will choose to be primarily in-person and bound by four walls. They’ll do this for a handful of rational reasons and it will be a reflection of their culture. We’re not sure at Unwrapit where we’ll land on the fully remote/fully in-person spectrum but we are open and flexible in our approach to it.

What advice would you offer to employers who want to future-proof their organizations?

Think bigger about employee attraction, engagement and retention. Gone are the days of providing great perks and calling it a day.

Many people want to do something that matters. And they want to do it for companies that care about them and their professional growth and personal well-being.

Whether companies like it or not, the next decade is going to require a wholesale transformation of how they do business in order to avoid runaway global warming. And the companies that understand that and get behind it with commitments to organizations like 1% for the Planet and BCorp, will attract talent that understand the importance of putting people and the planet first. With the climate crisis becoming more of a priority for consumers and employees, companies can’t afford to give lip service to sustainability.

On the employee side, creating an “open” environment, free of fear is critical. Where innovative conversations are encouraged and growth and learning are the result, without uncertainty for how it will be received. People want to know that their contributions matter. And that even if their ideas are not spot on this time, if they’re well-thought out and astute, they may be right for another moment.

What do you predict will be the biggest gaps between what employers are willing to offer and what employees expect as we move forward? And what strategies would you offer about how to reconcile those gaps?

As we continue to shape and create the new normal of remote work, we’ll continue to shape and create what is considered to be part of that reality. This will mean different things to different people. And it will mean different things to different sectors of the workforce. It will be imperative that employers don’t “paint all with the same brush” and assume that one policy or plan will work for everyone, or even everyone within one part of their team.

In order to minimize any gaps, or frankly, to even see that there are gaps in the first place, a company and its leaders need to operate with empathy towards their employees.

A recent Forbes article stated it like this, “According to the Harvard Business Review, businesses that put empathy and emotional intelligence ahead of everything else out perform other businesses by 20%. When a leader lacks empathy, everyone keeps their guard up and protects their own self-interest. This means employees don’t share ideas, issues or problems and leaders learn of their employee’s unhappiness only when that employee is walking out the door.”

Employers will also need to reconcile with:

Which roles can be fully remote & which ones can’t due to their nature

And, that hybrid work means different things to different people, there’s a risk of delivering the worst of in-person and the worst of virtual by combining the two and trying to please everyone (per a recent NYT article). We’re going to see more adjusting and revising of policies as hybrid and remote work become more common. Ultimately, we may end up going back to in-person events and offices, and instead, adopt a four-day workweek.

More companies are coming on board with the four-day workweek which is picking up popularity. As it does, it means that companies will need to shift the meaning of what a workweek looks like and how to make employees feel comfortable. This also means different things for different industries. There may be a gap in expectations for employees who want the four-day workweek but are drawn to companies that have chosen to stick with the five day work-week (or have to as a result of their sector). What that means is drawing clear boundaries, rules and expectations around a new, proposed work-week. As a result of tighter work schedules, employees will become better at emailing less, fewer meetings, and prioritizing their work and focusing on that work. There are plenty of success stories out there that support the four day work-week and prove that it alleviates a significant amount of stress for employees who now have more time to focus on their hobbies, families, and personal time.

We simultaneously joined a global experiment together last year called “Working From Home.” How will this experience influence the future of work?

This was another one that I talked to my new (younger!) colleague about and we both agreed that it was quite the experiment. The first words that came to her mind when I asked her this question were, “Flexibility and productivity, with a mutual shared experience of resilience.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Despite the significant efficiency we’ve found in many areas of this “experiment”, we’ve also proven that it can be tough to replace authentic, face-to-face connections with colleagues, if only for the purpose of getting to know one another better. But the world of work (and therefore the future of work) has changed materially and so have our collective expectations of it. We have experienced a blurring of lines, the convergence of our work and home and the reality that one can affect the other. We see individuals becoming more comfortable with this nuance, talking about it on LinkedIn and unapologetically showcasing kids and pets and partners on screen.

And related to that, I think we’re all worrying less about where a person lives and more about what they can bring to the business. Distributed teams will be the norm, not the anomaly as we go forward. We’ll focus less on time at our desks and more on execution and ideas. .

It must be said that we are talking about a specific subsection of businesses and employees as not all sectors will be affected in the same way. For example, those in manufacturing will still go to their job each day in person. And therefore the “future of work” may not look that different to all.

We’ve all read the headlines about how the pandemic reshaped the workforce. What societal changes do you foresee as necessary to support a future of work that works for everyone?

A mental shift as alluded to earlier. Individuals are less defined by their jobs and more so defined by their place in the world. The pandemic forced a pause for many people and it also shone a light on some or our biggest cracks. Childcare. Healthcare. “Hustle culture”. And more. It will be many years before we fully comprehend the collective impact of all of these things.

What is your greatest source of optimism about the future of work?

That two years into this “experiment” so many companies are thriving in the new paradigm and it’s allowed people additional flexibility and the opportunity to focus on quality over quantity.

Our collective mental health and wellbeing are now considered collateral as we consider the future of work. What innovative strategies do you see employers offering to help improve and optimize their employee’s mental health and wellbeing?

This will be the biggest hurdle to overcome , but I don’t think that it’s entirely on employers. Of course, they have an important role to play. Generally individuals that take better control of their own mental health and if they are also supported by their employers, create a winning strategy.

Perhaps controversially, I might note that the old saying, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink” is applicable in this instance. An employee needs to feel that there are supports in place and feel safe enough in their role to make use of them. But they also need to take responsibility for their own wellbeing (and ensure that they take the drink!).

Through Unwrapit we’ve seen employers embracing some unique strategies including ‘just because’ that includes health and mental wellness gift options. We’ve worked with a vendor who offers remote wellness for teams and she’s used our platform to enhance the experience by adding a fun “lunch on us”. We’ve also seen employers investing in significant mental health support and offering training for things like JEDI if that’s of interest to their teams.

It seems like there’s a new headline every day. ‘The Great Resignation’. ‘The Great Reconfiguration’. And now the ‘Great Reevaluation’. What are the most important messages leaders need to hear from these headlines? How do company cultures need to evolve?

I stated it above and I think it’s worth noting again. For many, the “Great Reevaluation” is about where they are putting their energy, and what they are prioritizing. Many people are asking themselves, is this a company that only cares about the bottom line and keeping their shareholders happy at the end of the fiscal year? Or a company that has a healthy bottom line, happy shareholders, and puts people and planet first.

It isn’t a stretch to understand that the latter is where most people want to work, and as we’re seeing with the Great Resignation, more people have more choices. Employers that don’t see this message in the current shifts taking place will be challenged by high turnover and burned out, unhappy employees.

Let’s get more specific. What are your “Top 5 Trends To Track In the Future of Work?”

  1. Empathetic tech — It’s no longer enough for online tools and services to be functional. Every generation inevitably spends more time on digital. We are now reaching the point where online is the norm, and people are forming their communities and identities within digital environments. This means that the tools we build as technology companies need to adapt to the human aspects of online communities and identities. Just like the progression we’ve seen in architectural design — from the brutalist and modernist mid-20th century buildings to the empathetic and human-centered design of the 21st century –tech companies have to employ empathy to make it comfortable and enjoyable to use tools online.
  2. Putting people and planet first — BLab (the certifying body behind the BCorp Certification) has seen an incredible increase in applicants throughout the pandemic. It seems that the movement has sparked, and companies understand the value of a designation like this. Further, we’ve had job applicants approach us using the 1% for the Planet Membership Database as a “ job search portal”, focusing only on companies who have sought out and completed their certification.
  3. Flex time in a way that hasn’t been explored before. This will require trust between employees and employers. Working from remote locations and embracing the digital nomads who are contributing to work, but from a different location, and seeing that as a benefit, not a challenge.
  4. Parental support. #shareyourleave was a great recent example of this, providing better support to working parents and in particular, women, who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
  5. Recognition (done the right way). This isn’t the old school way of recognizing teams. It’s about meeting people where they are, providing them with choice, making it spontaneous sometimes.

I keep quotes on my desk and on scraps of paper to stay inspired. What’s your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? And how has this quote shaped your perspective?

“Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.” — (Deborah Day)

I am always a work in progress. I’ve made mistakes, I think it’s healthy to accept that. I used to say I was a recovering perfectionist but I think I am now recovered (for the most part). I now embrace “progress over perfection” and recognize that in order to move things forward, sometimes it just has to be good enough. I had someone that really pushed me out of my comfort zone on this, and I’m grateful to him for the mindset shift.

We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US, with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He, she, or they might just see this if we tag them.

I’d love the opportunity to connect with Alexis Ohanian. Right front and centre, first line of his personal site he makes this statement, “I’m a technology entrepreneur and investor. I want to be known for making this world better — much better.” And he means that. It’s clear by his actions. We want to do the same thing! It would be amazing to talk to him. He offers his number on the site — maybe I should just text him!

Our readers often like to continue the conversation with our featured interviewees. How can they best connect with you and stay current on what you’re discovering?

We’d love for people to follow us on LinkedIn! We’re active there and talk about social impact, corporate gifting, leadership and much more!

Content: Drop everything and sail around the world
In recent years, the global media began to vigorously promote "travel living", translated from English - travel-life.
Its supporters are called digital nomads, or digital nomads.
They are not attached to the place of residence and work and are ready to trade comfort, stability and career prospects for life in continuous motion.
In the US alone, this philosophy is shared by 22 million people, or one in 15 Americans, in the world – 35 million, and by 2030, the number of digital nomads on the planet is projected to grow to one billion people.
Experts believe that this is the way to form a “seamless ” world with a“ connected person ” without roots.

Down with office stress
Video of the day
The first digital nomad was an American writer and programmer.
In 1983, he set off on a computerized bike and completed it on a yacht in 2021.
The revival of the ancient nomadic way of life in the 21st century has become possible thanks to the Internet and IT technologies, and the pandemic of the covid with a remote format of work has spurred it.
By 2030, the number of digital nomads could reach a billion people.
What kind of people are these?
The first group is digital.
Programmers, project managers, graphic designers, journalists, writers, lawyers, translators, analysts, testers, copywriters, video editors, product managers.
Six months in the Maldives, three months in Barbados or the United Arab Emirates, where the world ’ s fastest mobile Internet.
The second is adventurers and wanderers.
The third is mortgages, for which loan payments are more expensive than permanent tourism and being in cheap areas of the world.
The philosophy of digital nomads is to untie themselves from their place of birth and one job.
Choose countries where the best climate, cheaper food, where there are no toxic offices, civil duties, but only the right to live in pleasure.
Digital nomads consider themselves the chosen ones of fate, because, in their opinion, they make the free choice of a free person.
Life in motion, they argue, is not bliss, but the norm.
Their favorite slogan is “The values of minimalism make us happy. ”
Nature, freedom, unprocessed food, physical activity...
A lot is said about this on their profile sites.
Anxiety and desire to change places
Hunting for a change of places is a problem of motives, and they are different, correspondent member, philosopher, chief researcher of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Jean Toshchenko told the “Parliamentary newspaper ”.
Someone just has the opportunity to choose the best conditions of life and work.
Others have the pressure of economic circumstances.
This is facilitated by the growing class of precariat (people working in low-paid and unstable jobs without social guarantees - sick leave, vacation, with a reduced salary).
The transition from permanent to part-time, temporary, part-time employment makes it easier for such people to get out of place and go wherever they look.
Another category is those who, in principle, do not care about the content of the work, says the scientist.
They expect to find something to do everywhere.
From here the ease of lifting.
Finally, there are those who choose a way of life where civil obligations do not prevail over them.
An expert from the United States John Peters in a sensational article “Exile, Nomadism and the Diaspora ” called the opposition of nomad and state as the key idea of the movement.
Many travelers begin with the term “climate emigration ”, but constant mobility erases the boundaries of cultural and national identity.
As a result, the concept of homeland is also being rethought, and this is already marginality, he concludes.
A typical portrait of a digital nomad, according to the Nomad List survey, is a minimalist with a laptop, a backpack, a bachelor ’ s degree, a passport and a cup of coffee.
Lives in one place for an average of 70 days.
At the heart of the mentality is anti-materialism and contentment with small things.
The most attractive side of travel is cheapness, according to one of the profile sites.
Nomadism saves a lot of money because the costs of maintaining the property, maintaining the car, parking, winter clothes disappear.
It is fascinating and good for health.
The main cost item is renting a roof over your head and food.
Geo-arbitrage helps to live better and cheaper – the use of price differences between countries.
Peace in your pocket and nothing of your own
Some researchers call traveling a new socio-economic model.
It echoes the program slogans of the “great reset ” of the world proclaimed at the Davos Economic Forum.
According to it, the preservation of the planet in the interests of future generations requires tightening the belts of the living, limiting economic growth and reducing consumption.
The projected image of the future assumes that a person will be available to the whole world, a lot of services, but at the same time he will not have anything of his own.
Globalizers argue that property and binding to a permanent place of residence burden and encroach on the personal freedoms of citizens.
Why buy a house when you can rent it?
Why a personal car when there is carsharing?
Why save money when you can have a basic guaranteed income?
Why spend money on heating an apartment, if you can go to the warm lands for the winter?
When a person has no stake or yard, it is especially easy.
Modern nomads often call themselves citizens of the world.
The nomad is always online, and it is more convenient for him to communicate even with friends online, rather than offline.
Therefore, some experts have given it the definition of “connected person ”.
The unwritten motto of digital nomads: movement is everything, goal is nothing.
There are 300 people in the world who have visited all 196 countries of the world (including unrecognized territories).
Among them are Australian Rach and Slovak Marty.
The women described the adventures of the 15-year-old circumnavigation in the blog “Very Hungry Nomads ”.
They set out to inspire the women of the world to live without office stress, work on the beach, expand horizons and embrace new thinking.
Travelers sold out all the property and lived with luggage from two backpacks of hand luggage.
The focus of their project was food.
Odyssey cost 274 thousand dollars.
Her conclusion: the most delicious food is in Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Uzbek farmers.
The number of nomadism activists in Russia is also increasing.
For example, ethnologist Mikhail Zarubin traveled to 193 countries for 10 years and wrote a book for children “Tales of Young Travelers ”.
Four years more spent on the circumnavigation of his friend, the photographer.
150 hotels annually - the norm for Lisa and Vitalik, whose journey lasts 12 years.
Many other travel bloggers share their impressions on the website travcave.ru.
Traffic infrastructure
The digital nomad relies on infrastructure.
A digital nomad visa allows individuals who earn an income of at least $2,000 from a foreign jurisdiction to legally stay in the country longer than tourists.
Its price in Brazil is 72 dollars, in Greece - 75, Costa Rica - 100, Argentina - from 120 to 240, in Bermuda - 260, in the Bahamas and in the UAE - a thousand dollars.
Validity from 180 days to 10 years.
In countries where there is no such visa, nomads often live on tourist and even student, and the authorities turn a blind eye to this.
The elements of infrastructure are also coworking and coliving (common spaces where you can live and work with like-minded people).
The number of the first, according to forecasts, by 2025 will reach 26 thousand, and the second annually grows by a third.
In Russia, too, there is a coliving - "Station Smena".
It provides, according to the presentation, a unique opportunity to combine work and party.
Remotely you can work from home, public libraries, cafes - if only there was an Internet and a laptop.
The wealthier ones move around in offices on wheels.
However, the vans at home with a table, a lot of sockets, chargers and a background for conferences are like a luxury German crossover.
The system of hubs for nomads is characterized by a favorable climate, high-speed Internet, an easy visa regime and a low cost of living.
The most attractive locations are Chiang Mai (Thailand) and Bali (Indonesia), in Europe - Lisbon, Gran Canaria and the island of Madeira, in America - Medellin, Mexico City and Buenos Aires.
If the money runs out, nomads can spend the night in churches for free, in extreme cases - in a tent, especially since they do not tend to cold lands.
Someone on occasion earns remote trade, hand-made, bartenders, guides, DJs and VJs, nurses, teachers and what God will send.
As befits a philosopher, Jean Toshchenko is not surprised:
“The world is entering an era of great migration of peoples, similar to the one that took place 15 centuries ago.
The process of global migration is driven by economic, political and climatic factors.
And this general mobility affects all of humanity, making it dynamic. ”
The philosophy of individualism
And if everyone wants to live on an eternal journey, who will remain in their native country and will improve it?
Is there a balance between personal freedom and civic responsibility?
Is not the sense of patriotism atrophied, for example, among the digital class, part of which has amicably rushed outside Russia?
The balance between freedom and responsibility was sought by Voltaire and Belinsky.
They are looking for it and will be looking for it at all times, ” the chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy evasively replied to the Parliamentary Newspaper.
First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Tourism and Tourism Development Nikolai Valuev did not hide skepticism from our publication:
“No matter what you dream and want, people will always be tied by a bunch of circumstances to the place of residence.
Work, habit, property, kinship and social ties, so these cosmopolitans will always be in the region of statistical error. ”
Comparing digital nomads, immigrants and relocants is incorrect, said the development director of VTsIOM Consulting.
The concept of “digital-nomadism ” develops a philosophy of individualism, he told“ Parlamentskaya Gazeta ”.
Its values: freedom to choose life goals, ways and places of work, the desire for openness of information, intolerance of discrimination and the conditional “seamless ” of the world.
At the same time, nomads, earning in their country, spend money in a foreign country.
How should this state be treated?
Why in the US with a population of 330 million people, Trump in his election program promises to introduce maternity capital for a new baby boom?
"Any government wants its citizens to work at home and develop the domestic economy," Yermolaev said. - The generation of the first baby boom is close to retirement age, which increases the burden on social infrastructure and reduces the number of able-bodied people.
And the digital nomad community in the US is growing.
According to MBO Partners, there are 16.9 million, and according to Nomand List, 22 million.
If the trend continues, the country ’ s economy will face a serious challenge in the coming years. ”
In Russia, according to Nomad List, digital nomads are still relatively few - 2.3 million.
And yet they should be taken seriously, urges the dean of the Faculty of Economics.
As a rule, nomads do not seek to part with the country, they can continue to work for domestic companies, benefiting the state.
And in order to preserve this human capital, to prevent its possible leakage, an income tax of 13 percent should be saved for this category, the economist believes.
According to the current rules, tax non-residents - people who have been in Russia for less than 183 calendar days for twelve consecutive months - must pay income tax not 13 percent, but 30 percent, besides they are not entitled to tax deductions.
As the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov told our publication, all the necessary regulation in the field of remote employment was developed and fixed in Chapter 49.1 of the Labor Code even during the coronavirus pandemic.
Thanks to this, many workers today work remotely, most of them within the country.
Any changes to the law will also affect them, he explained.
This is usually used in a situation where there is an imbalance of interests of employers and employees.
“If people continue to perform their duties in accordance with labor contracts, taxes and payments are deducted from their income, then why invent something? ” the deputy concluded.

Digital nomads can use tools like Toggl, Freedom, and Focus@Will to stay focused and meet deadlines.

Content: Stop wasting time with these amazing productivity apps

A DEADLINE is approaching. However, you are wasting your time with unrelated activities instead of working, such as using social media, watching movies, or just lying on bed when you should be working. But, despite knowing you have to hurry, you are in no mood to do so. The act of procrastination is well known to us all. When we put off accomplishing crucial activities until it is too late, we waste our spare time. And when it really is too late, we freak out and regret not starting sooner. But, fear not. Here is a selection of applications that can help you stop putting things off

TOGGL

Toggl is a time-tracking tool that tracks how long you spend working on a job. You may start the task’s timer and assign it a coloured category when you set a task. You are free to stop and resume the timer as often as necessary until the assignment is finished. The best feature of this program is the ability to make reports and dashboards to track your performance for each activity or area. For instance, it can indicate that you’ve been working on a certain activity for far too long. Therefore, you should prioritise these chores first in order to complete them. This means you will not be using your phone for as long as it takes you to do a task if you have a timer, and ultimately learn how long it takes you.

Simple Habit

While not specifically a “stop procrastinating” app, Simple Habit offers five-minute daily meditations to ease tension and sharpen attention. You might find it easier to avoid interruptions and get things done if you make it a daily practise to engage in brief meditations. Although some of its options need a paid subscription, it also offers a variety of specialised sessions for enhancing concentration, lowering stress, and commuting. Sign into Simple Habit whenever you are facing a critical deadline. There’s a good chance you will locate the ideal stress-relieving activity.

Momentum Dash

Momentum Dash is a distinctive desktop productivity application. You can use Momentum Dash to personalise your browser page and turn it into a display that promotes productivity. You may alter the background image, add motivational writing, a to-do list to help you prioritise your tasks, establish a daily focus, and add links or bookmarks to significant web pages. By upgrading it to Plus, you will have access to other features including connections with other productivity applications, more organising tools, more photo possibilities, and more customisation.

Offtime

Today, our mobile gadgets are the main source of external distractions for us. When you are often interrupted by calls, notifications, or messages, you are more likely to start procrastinating. Setting up a system that prevents all distractions on your phone is a wonderful method to handle them. Offtime provides you the ability to quickly turn off all the annoying applications, texts, and calls. Simply pick the time period during which you wish to work intently and press the start button. Offtime prevents you from opening distracting applications while the timer is running. You may also choose to make a few exceptions for applications like a calendar, calculator, and others that you could need while working.

Mindly

You never want to put off doing something, but your schedule is so full of deadlines, and reminders that you simply can’t keep up. As a result, you start unnecessary videos when you are supposed to be doing something else. You can regain control of your brain using Mindly. In contrast to a to-do list, the software aids in the organisation of your ideas in a more soul-nourishing way. You may build an unlimited number of rings with the app, connecting associated concepts together. These little bubbles are editable; you can alter their colours and even add emojis.

Focus@Will

On our list of apps that offer customised music to help users to avoid distractions. Focus@Will is a great choice. With the goal of enhancing productivity, the app collaborates with musicians who are professionals. Each piece of music is meticulously remastered, re-edited, and re-produced to eliminate all distracting noises. The app will ask you to fill out an evaluation when you join up so it can decide what style of music will specifically motivate you to be as productive as possible. The app also comes with additional helpful productivity tools, such as a timer and a productivity tracker.

Freedom

The Freedom app will provide you with a tough love approach to overcoming procrastination. With Freedom, you can synchronise block settings across all of your devices and block an infinite number of distracting websites or apps. If you need to spend some time offline working on things, you may even completely block the internet.

They can use Trello and Asana to increase productivity and collaboration.

The world today – for remote workers.
Tools for organizing time and effort
You are following the news for remote workers.
Tools to organize time and effort from the section of the news of the world and now we leave you with full details
MOHAMMED - Abu Dhabi on Saturday 6 July 2024 06: 24 PM - Thanks to the boom in remote work, hybrid work and communication applications on our smartphones, working around the clock has become a concern, prompting many to pay attention to how to restore their time, bring their job back to its limits and working hours, which often run from 9am to 5pm.
According to a Washington Post report, here are the best strategies for arranging your time and aligning work and personal life.
Set boundaries and stick to them.
People won ’ t hesitate to take advantage of your desire to work after (or before) working hours, so it ’ s your responsibility to say “no ” and set healthy boundaries.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life that we lose sight of those limits, we end up responding to emails we see the moment we wake up or feel pressured to answer a question from a colleague during dinner.
Take the time to redefine what you accept and don ’ t accept as part of your job.
This could mean sharing your goals with co-workers or family members, who can hold you accountable.
You can also set phone reminders to log out or have a conversation with your boss about work-life balance.
• You can also communicate about your boundaries by signing your email or status message on business communication apps, clearly outlining your working hours, how long it usually takes to respond and what you should do if it ’ s urgent.
Scheduling outgoing messages
Be sure to follow your own instructions.
If you don ’ t want to receive after-hours messages, whether you ’ re communicating via Slack, Teams, email or even text messages, schedule your messages to send at a convenient time.
This allows you to keep all your business transactions within working hours.
And if you ’ re using a calling tool that doesn ’ t allow scheduling, set a reminder on your phone for this time.
Reduce your notifications
You ’ ve told people your preferences (in terms of when you ’ re busy at work), now use technology to enforce those preferences.
Change the notification settings on your workplace apps and devices so you don ’ t make noises while you ’ re having dinner or playing with your kids.
Outlook lets you set your work schedule, including your working hours each day, allowing others to know when you ’ re on the clock and when you won ’ t be available.
• Messaging apps like Slack also let you select the hours you want to receive (or mute) notifications in Preferences.
• Your devices let you adjust notification settings for each individual app, so you can get alerts for breaking news but not from your boss.
• If you just want to turn everything off, you can always turn on Focus or Do Not Disturb mode on your device to get total silence.
Fill in your calendar
If you ’ re trying to make sure no one interrupts the precious 30 minutes it takes for lunch, or your colleague doesn ’ t schedule a meeting while driving your kids to school, add an event to your calendar.
That way, if someone tries to schedule a meeting when you don ’ t want to have it, they ’ ll see you ’ re unavailable and choose a time when you can meet.
You can also customize parts of your calendar if you need time to do work while you ’ re busy.
Make an emergency plan.
While it may be a good idea to stop work altogether when it ’ s time to leave, you should make sure that important contacts like your boss have a way of reaching you at any time.
This could mean giving them your personal phone number, telling them to text you or sending you a message via Signal or any other messaging app instead of Slack or email.
You can also change your settings so that they can reach you even when Focus or Do Not Disturb is on.
Be sure to clarify when they should use these methods of communication, they are for urgent matters, not tasks that can be postponed until after you have your coffee tomorrow morning.
Stealing time!
In this context, the director of Al-Ghad Center for Economic Studies, Sayed Khader, said in a special statement to the site "Eqtisad Dot Al-Khaleej", that:
Working remotely can lead to time theft.
Constant communication through messages, calls and virtual meetings without good management, along with the absence of boundaries between work and personal life, leads to distraction, inconvenience and poor discipline and concentration when working from home.
Recovering lost time comes by creating a clear daily schedule of tasks and meetings and setting specific dates for rest, as well as choosing a quiet place to work at home, while reducing interruptions and distractions by turning off phone notifications, disabling certain apps, focusing on the most important tasks, and managing time effectively.
As for exploiting technology optimally, Khodr says that this comes through relying on digital work tools to increase productivity and remote collaboration, use task management applications, effective meetings, enhance interaction, communicate via video and chat platforms, and take care of security and privacy.
These apps and tools can be customized to put a break between work hours and hours outside, so that you turn off work-related alerts when you ’ re out of work.
Action Plan
One of the most important factors to manage time and productivity well is setting a daily work plan with specific tasks and priorities, taking into account regular breaks and setting specific times for networking and online meetings; to avoid excessive meetings.
Distractions should also be reduced by managing notifications and focusing on important tasks, communication and social interaction, Khidr said.
The Director of Al Ghad Center for Economic Studies recommends taking care of physical exercise, regular rest, allocating work and rest spaces to avoid confusion between personal and professional life, ensuring the availability of the necessary technical equipment to work efficiently, skills and professional development, enhancing communication and collaboration skills, developing leadership and supervision in remote work environments, participating in professional development programs suitable for remote work, and focusing on acquiring advanced digital skills and self-management.
The basis of life, but!
In turn, the economist, Yassin Ahmed, said in special statements to the site "Eqtisad.al-Khaleej", that work has become consuming a large part of our lives, time and energy, but remains the basis of life, and we can facilitate it on ourselves; through the use of technological mechanisms to organize our working times, and facilitate and accelerate productivity at work.
Technology plays a large role in the labor market, and accelerates the process of productivity, in addition to saving time, effort, and cost, according to the economist.
On ways to recover the time stolen from us, he says, that this lies in avoiding the distractions of the times and waste of time in traditional things at work, while using modern technological mechanisms, programs and tools to help you accomplish your tasks accurately, save and organize your time and effort faster.
People must balance their lives and their work, so time must be accurately divided for work and for life, according to Ahmed, who continues, saying that remote work saves time between home and workplace, and does not differ much in its nature, whether from home or workplace, on the contrary, it saves time and effort.
Technology and software contribute to making administrative and routine tasks easier and faster than traditional methods.
Employing Internet services and using e-mail facilitates coordination and communication between team members, as well as customers and partners in the organization or project faster and more clearly.
Technology also helps companies to save time and cost and increase productivity, flexibility, accuracy and speed in performance, so will return all the above to maintain the original time of the production process and facilitate the development of a plan to separate the hours of work and rest, whether individual or collective work, according to the economist.
We hope that we have succeeded in conveying the full details of the news to the remote workers..
Tools for organizing time and effort.
In God ’ s care and protection.

Save on Your Startup Costs by Opting for Coworking Space

— November 16, 2022

Open office space is the best option for improved productivity, flexibility, and reduced operational cost.

The growing popularity of coworking spaces is a green signal. It means that most individuals opt to work from professional areas and are willing to collaborate and network. Several businesses are speaking about working from far away coworking spaces as it adds to the financial aspect.

How Can Texan Entrepreneurs Cut Corners With Their Expenses

Texan entrepreneurs understand the importance of cutting expenses to boost profitability and ensure long-term success. In a competitive business landscape, finding ways to reduce costs can be a game-changer. This blog explores various strategies that Texan entrepreneurs can employ to cut corners with their expenses and maximize their resources.

Understanding the Expenses

Understanding expenses is crucial for Texan entrepreneurs to manage their finances and make informed business decisions effectively. By comprehensively analyzing and categorizing expenses, entrepreneurs gain insights into where their money is being allocated and identify areas for potential cost reduction. Tracking fixed expenses such as rent, utilities, and salaries helps establish a baseline for monthly expenditures, while monitoring variable expenses like marketing, supplies, and travel allows for flexibility in budgeting. Identifying trends and patterns in expenses over time can provide valuable information for forecasting and budget planning. Furthermore, regularly reviewing and scrutinizing expenses can uncover inefficiencies or opportunities for negotiation with vendors.

Implementing cost-saving measures in everyday operations

Implementing cost-saving measures in everyday operations is crucial for businesses looking to optimize their expenses and increase profitability. One area where businesses can find significant savings is in energy costs. By adopting energy-efficient practices, implementing business energy solutions, and finding cost-effective business and commercial electricity rates, companies can reduce their electricity bills and contribute to a more sustainable environment. Some cost-saving measures include conducting an energy audit to identify areas of improvement, using LED lighting, optimizing temperature controls, and implementing energy-saving initiatives. These strategies not only lower costs but also position businesses as environmentally conscious, which can attract environmentally conscious customers. With the right approach to energy efficiency, businesses can achieve long-term cost savings while positively impacting the planet.

Embracing remote work and flexible office spaces:

Embracing remote work and flexible office spaces is an effective way for Texan entrepreneurs to cut corners with their expenses. Businesses can significantly reduce their office space and rent expenses by utilizing co-working spaces or encouraging remote work for employees. Co-working spaces offer a cost-effective alternative, providing access to necessary facilities without the burden of a long-term lease. This allows businesses to scale up or down as needed, saving money on unused space. Embracing remote work not only reduces office-related costs but also eliminates commuting expenses for employees and allows businesses to tap into a wider talent pool without geographical limitations. By embracing remote work and flexible office spaces, Texan entrepreneurs can lower their overhead costs while maintaining productivity and fostering a more agile and adaptable work environment.

Outsourcing non-core functions

Outsourcing non-core functions is a strategic move that can help businesses cut corners with their expenses. Texan entrepreneurs can benefit from this approach by hiring freelancers or remote workers for tasks that are not directly related to their core business activities. By doing so, businesses can reduce employee-related expenses such as salaries, benefits, and training costs. Outsourcing non-core functions like graphic design, content writing, customer support, or administrative tasks allows businesses to access specialized expertise without the need for full-time employees. This approach also provides flexibility, as businesses can scale their outsourcing needs based on their current requirements.

Leveraging technology to reduce costs

Leveraging technology to reduce costs is a smart strategy for businesses in today’s digital age. Texan entrepreneurs can benefit from adopting various technological solutions to streamline operations and drive cost savings. For example, implementing cloud-based software and storage systems can eliminate the need for expensive hardware and infrastructure maintenance costs. Automation tools can be used to streamline repetitive tasks, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing efficiency. Additionally, utilizing communication and collaboration platforms can minimize travel expenses and enable remote work options. By embracing technology, businesses can optimize processes, improve productivity, and ultimately reduce costs. It is important for Texan entrepreneurs to stay updated with emerging technologies and explore innovative solutions to gain a competitive edge while maximizing cost savings.

Negotiating better deals with suppliers and vendors

Leveraging technology to reduce costs is a smart strategy for businesses in today’s digital age. Texan entrepreneurs can benefit from adopting various technological solutions to streamline operations and drive cost savings. For example, implementing cloud-based software and storage systems can eliminate the need for expensive hardware and infrastructure maintenance costs.

Cutting corners with expenses is essential for Texan entrepreneurs looking to optimize their resources and increase profitability. By embracing remote work, outsourcing non-core functions, leveraging technology, negotiating better deals, and implementing cost-saving measures, businesses can significantly reduce their overheads. It is crucial for entrepreneurs to regularly review and optimize their expenses to ensure steady growth and sustainable success.

Reports suggest that 400 million Americans go on long distance business trips annually, and with 32.6 million estimated to be working remotely by 2025, remote work is becoming an ever-growing theme for businesses to adapt to.

As a result of this, working from coffee shops, public workspaces or whilst commuting is becoming increasingly common, but how can you ensure your employees are working securely whilst connected to public Wi-Fi?

Cloud based application security company, Indusface, explains the worst places businesses can connect to public Wi-Fi, detailing the cyber security risks and red flags to look out for.

Venky Sundar, founder, and president of Indusface, also comments on the risks to businesses and their employees, as well as detailing ways to stay safe from cyber attacks.

The worst places to connect to public Wi-Fi:

  1. Restaurants/Coffee shops

Large restaurants or coffee shops see numerous customers pass through their doors daily, all of whom have access to the public Wi-Fi that the venue offers. This open access can leave users vulnerable to hackers who are able to exploit the lack of security in the Wi-Fi network and utilize this to access user data, otherwise known as a MITM (Man in the Middle) attack.

From this, hackers can access information on websites that users visit, browsing activity, and more personal information such as passwords and financial transactions. This can leave user logins and other personal data vulnerable being stolen by a hacker.

  1. Hotels

Hotel Wi-FI can prove useful to your employees whether they are on a business trip or catching up on uncompleted work, however, hotel Wi-Fi often provides full public access, meaning anyone can access and monitor it.

Router hacking is just one of the ways hackers can take advantage of open access hotel Wi-Fi. This involves hackers or cybercriminals gaining control of a router in order to take advantage of its vulnerabilities, resulting in access to personal and sensitive information.

This can be a threat to anyone who is on the hotel’s Wi-Fi as their personal cyber information can become available to hackers using this method.

  1. Public Transport

Despite many employees working in a remote or hybrid capacity, certain roles will still require travel to and from work meetings from time to time, and Wi-Fi on public transport such as trains can be useful if employees have work to complete before getting to their destination. Nevertheless, its safety and security can be easily compromised by hackers due to its open access, making it a frequent target for attack.

As such, utilizing Wi-Fi on trains for completing work whilst commuting can leave many employees susceptible to hackers who could gain access to important business data, financial data, or even private and personal information such as logins.

One way hackers may exploit data via transport Wi-Fi is through Malware attacks. This entails cybercriminals interfering with a device in order to gain access to its information. This is common on unsecure networks, as hackers can easily access devices when connected to the same Wi-Fi as their victims.

  1. Airports

If on a business trip, you should make your employees aware that they should be vigilant when using airport Wi-Fi, as airports are hotspots for cybercriminals looking to target personal information such as passwords, financial data, or business data.

If you or members of your workforce are travelling for business, you should be particularly cautious of business email compromise (BEC). This involves hackers attempting to access email accounts to carry out fraud, such as transferring funds.

Another method cybercriminals may try is identity theft or compromising accounts. Hackers can intercept data sent over an unsecure network, therefore, any information that you input – such as passwords, could be used to break into your online accounts such as business accounts or even steal your identity via compromised passport information.

Venky Sundar, founder and president of Indusface comments on the above Wi-Fi dangers and provides tips on how to stay safe from cybercriminals:

“Public Wi-Fi is more vulnerable to attacks. If your employees use public Wi-Fi networks, the chances of getting a malware infection is high. While the best protection is to not use these Wi-Fi networks at all, you can never be sure about how your remote employees will comply with these guidelines.

“To minimise damage, I see two angles 1) endpoint security and 2) application security. In endpoint security it is all about using a good antivirus software and keep pushing automatic updates to it.

“Application security is the second layer of defence, let’s say that the endpoint or your employee’s computer does get compromised, so the chance of malware infecting your company infrastructure is high. This is where putting your applications behind a WAAP becomes critical. That way, even in case of a compromise, the WAAP blocks attacks and protects the infrastructure and applications.”

Additional steps businesses and employees can take to help protect against cyber attacks

It is vital not only for employees, but for businesses, to ensure that they are adequately protected when using public Wi-Fi. There are numerous methods you can use to do so.

  • Turn off the auto-connect Wi-Fi setting, as this can automatically connect you to open access public networks nearby that may not be secure, and can leave you vulnerable to attack.
  • Utilise a VPN (Virtual Private Network), as this can help ensure your data isn’t visible to hackers as it goes through the network you are on. If it becomes visible, hackers can breach your digital privacy and gain access to your private company or personal data.
  • Ensure you have anti-virus software installed on your device. This can help protect you whilst using public Wi-Fi, as it has the ability to detect malware that may find its way into your system whilst using the public network. The software will issue an alert to you if any viruses are on your device, if there is any suspicious activity, or attack.
  • Perform gray box DAST scans on all your web and mobile applications so that you know the exact risk when the admin or user credentials get compromised. Once you understand the risks, mitigate them on code.
  • Implement a Web application and API Protection(WAAP) solution so that when your employee’s endpoint gets compromised, the attacks that originate out of that compromised endpoint get blocked at the WAAP.

Content: 7 Tips To Prevent Cyber Criminals From Hacking Your Life

0

Protecting your devices from cyber criminals is essential in today’s digital age. Cybercriminals are always innovating and evolving their techniques, so it’s important to stay one step ahead. In this article, we will discuss simple tips to help you protect your devices and keep your online accounts safe from the threat of malicious hackers.

1. Install and update antivirus software

In order to protect your devices from malicious cyber criminals and their intrusive techniques, it’s important to install and use antivirus software. This type of software provides an extra layer of security for your computer by scanning the data you come across on the internet and searching for malicious programs or viruses that could put your device at risk. Antivirus software works to detect and prevent unauthorized access, preventing malware from infecting your system.

It’s important to keep both antivirus software and its virus definition files up-to-date — these are regularly updated databases that tell the program how to recognize potentially dangerous files. Regularly updating gives your antivirus program an edge in protecting you against new viruses that may crop up, so be sure to set it up so that your system will automatically download and install these updates whenever they become available. It’s also a good idea to run diagnostics with a reliable antivirus scanner on a regular basis — this is especially true if you notice any unusual activity on your machine or notice anything out of the ordinary with its performance.

2. Enable two-factor authentication

Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is one of the best ways to protect your data from unwanted access. 2FA works by requiring a second step after entering the password. It will ask for additional verification such as a PIN or biometric authentication before granting access to the account. This offers an extra layer of security to help prevent cyber criminals from accessing your sensitive information or infecting your devices with malware.

Another layer of security can be found in multi-factor authentication, which requires two separate forms of identification, such as a password and pin or fingerprint scan. This type of security goes one step further than 2FA and makes it even more difficult for hackers to compromise your device.

When using both types of authentication, make sure all authentication codes are unique, strong, and not shared with anyone else. Create unique passwords that use a combination of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Also, consider enabling account recovery options so that if you do lose access to your accounts due to a malicious attack or forgotten credentials you have ways to regain access without much difficulty.

3. Use a VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) protects your data by encrypting it as it passes through the internet, adding an extra layer of security to any sensitive information you share online. A VPN also hides your IP address and makes it difficult for potential attackers to trace back to your device. You can use consumer-grade or enterprise-level VPNs depending on the level of security you require, and many devices have built-in VPN options that guarantee safe connections when logging into public WIFI networks. To further protect your online identity, be sure to use different credentials for each account wherever possible and adjust privacy settings to limit access only to certain people or groups if needed.

Additionally, there are online resources to protect your data like https://policy.zte.com.cn/.

4. Use a strong password for all accounts

Creating and managing a secure password for all accounts requires attention to several details such as length, complexity, and frequency of changes. It is recommended that passwords be at least 8 characters in length with a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.

To best protect user accounts from unauthorized use organizations should ensure they have policies and procedures in place designed to detect malicious attempts such as brute-force attacks or attempts using commonly used passwords. Taking proactive steps such as enforcing two-factor authentication solutions like biometric scanners may also be beneficial in protecting your system from data breaches.

5. Disable remote access

By default, most home and business networks are set to allow remote access for service technicians or system administrators. Unfortunately, this is a gateway for cybercriminals. It’s important to take the time to disable remote access if it is not necessary. Disabling this will prevent hackers from connecting and accessing confidential data from outside of your network. You can disable remote access by changing the settings on your router or firewall.

6. Use a secure cloud storage

Using a secure cloud storage system is an important step in protecting your data from cybercriminals. While most cloud storage solutions provide encryption and other security measures, there are some that offer a higher level of security. For instance, many cloud storage providers offer multi-factor authentication (MFA), which requires two or more credentials to gain access to your account. This prevents unauthorized access by only allowing authorized users to access specific data files and folders.

Using a secure cloud storage service can also help you store large amounts of data across multiple systems safely and securely in an efficient manner. There are several solutions available ranging from encrypted boxes which are less expensive and easier to deploy; right up to zero-trust networks which are more expensive but offer higher levels of control and security over who can view or modify files stored on the application across multiple devices.

7. Don’t click on suspicious links

It’s important to be aware of any suspicious or unknown links that you may receive in emails from people that you don’t know. These links could be disguised as advertisements, offers, or requests. Even if they appear to come from someone you know, they may have been hijacked and are now sending out suspicious email links. When in doubt, it is best to delete the email without clicking on any of the attached files or embedded links.

By clicking on a link that has been sent by an unknown party, your computer could become compromised by malicious software including spyware, viruses, and other types of malware. Your computer could also be targeted for botnets and ransomware attacks with much worse consequences. It is therefore extremely important to be cautious with these message-borne threats and use caution when deciding to click on any suspicious or unknown link.

In conclusion, there are a number of steps you can take to protect yourself from cybercriminals. With the increasing prevalence of cybercrime, it’s essential that you take proactive measures to safeguard against this serious threat.

In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in cybercrime around the world, and Germany is no exception.
Cybercrime involves criminal activity against or using computers, network equipment and the Internet.
These activities disrupt personal lives and business operations, leading to economic and personal losses.
As we become more reliant on digital technologies, the need for robust cybersecurity — measures to protect against cyber threats — becomes even more important.
This is especially true for tools that allow us to remotely access and manage computers, such as those provided by Splashtop.
These tools can help us work and manage tasks anytime, anywhere, but without proper security measures, they can also expose us to risks such as unauthorized access or data theft.
That ’ s why understanding and implementing cybersecurity is not just a matter for tech experts, it ’ s important for everyone.
In this blog post, we ’ ll cover the top five cyber threats you should know about in Germany to help you protect yourself and your data in the digital world.
Threat 1: Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malware (malware) that blocks access to a computer system or encrypts files in it, demanding that the victim pay a ransom to access it again.
Anyone from a single household user to a large business can be attacked by it, not only causing economic losses, but also seriously disrupting daily operations.
In Germany, ransomware has become an urgent problem.
For example, in a well-known incident, a major university hospital in Düsseldorf was attacked by ransomware, which led to severe disruptions in patient care, highlighting the potential dangers of these attacks to critical infrastructure.
To protect yourself and your organization from ransomware, consider the following tips:
Regular backups: Regular backups of all important data and ensure that these backups are stored separately from the main system.
This way, if your data is hijacked, you can recover the data from the backup without paying a ransom.
• Update and patch systems: Make sure all your software and operating systems have the latest security patches installed.
Many ransomware attacks exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software.
Educate and train employees: Make sure everyone in your business knows how to identify suspicious emails or links, which are common ways to spread ransomware.
Use reliable security tools: Install and maintain reliable antivirus software and firewalls to detect and prevent malware infections.
Incident response plan: Develop a clear plan for how to respond if ransomware is infected, including how to isolate the infected system from the network to prevent the spread of malware.
By understanding what ransomware is and taking proactive precautions, you can greatly reduce the risk and impact of these dangerous attacks.
Threat 2: Phishing Fraud
Phishing is a form of deception used by cybercriminals to trick individuals into providing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers or other personal information.
They disguise themselves as trusted entities via email, text messages or social media messages.
Phishing strategies may vary, but often involve emails that appear to be from well-known organizations or contacts.
For example, you might receive an email that appears to be from a bank asking you to click on a link to update your password.
However, the link points to a fake website designed to steal your credentials.
To protect yourself from phishing fraud, follow the following precautions:
Verify the source: Be sure to check the sender ’ s email address for anomalies, even if the email appears to be from a known contact or organization.
• Think twice before clicking: Be careful to click on links in unknown or unexpected emails or download attachments.
• Use security software: Use comprehensive security software, including email scanning and phishing detection capabilities.
• Stay informed about phishing technology: Stay informed about the latest phishing strategies as they evolve.
Many security websites and services offer updates and alerts.
• Educate your team: If you are a member of an organization, make sure all members understand how to identify phishing attempts.
Regular training can be very helpful.
Threat 3: Data breaches
Data breaches occur when sensitive, protected or confidential data is accessed, disclosed or stolen without authorization.
This may include personal information such as name, address, social security number and financial records, as well as trade secrets and intellectual property.
The impact of a data breach on a company can be severe, ranging from financial losses caused by fines and legal fees to long-term reputational damage.
Consumers affected by data breaches are at risk of identity theft and financial fraud and often suffer from long-term credit and privacy issues.
In Germany, major data breaches have made headlines, affecting both the public sector and the private sector.
For example, a large German software company suffered a leak in which the personal information of millions of users was leaked.
Such incidents highlight the vulnerability of even the most advanced systems to security breaches.
To prevent data breaches, consider the following best practices:
• Use strong, unique passwords: Make sure all accounts have strong, unique passwords.
Consider using a password manager to log passwords.
Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA): Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires users to provide two or more authentication factors to access resources, increasing a layer of security and reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access.
Regularly update and patch the system: Use the latest security patches and updates to update all systems and software in a timely manner.
Many vulnerabilities exploit patchable vulnerabilities in software.
Encrypt sensitive data: Encryption technology is used to protect data in transit and at rest, making it harder for unauthorized users to access readable information.
Educating employees: Regular training on security best practices and identifying phishing attempts can reduce the risk of leaks caused by human error.
Develop an incident response plan: Develop a detailed plan for how to respond to a data breach, including how to identify the breach, control the loss, and notify affected individuals and authorities.
Threat 4: Internal threats
Unlike other cyber threats that typically come from outside the organization, internal threats originate within the organization — often caused by employees, former employees, contractors, or business partners who have access to sensitive information and systems.
These threats can be either malicious, such as employees intentionally stealing confidential data, or unintentional, such as employees accidentally leaking information online or to unauthorized people.
Internal threats are especially challenging because they come from people who have legitimate access to company data.
These threats can take many forms, ranging from sabotage and data theft to simple malpractice or unmalicious misuse of data.
With the rise of remote work, securing the work environment from insider threats has become a unique challenge.
Remote work blurs the traditional security boundaries of an office environment, making it more difficult to monitor access to sensitive information.
However, it also provides an opportunity to implement robust security measures appropriate to the digital environment:
• Secure Remote Access Solution: Take advantage of secure remote access tools like Splashtop, which have features like session recording multi-factor authentication.
These tools ensure that access to sensitive data is both secure and traceable.
• Regular audits and monitoring: regular audits of system and user activities.
Regular checks can help you spot unusual access patterns or unauthorized attempts to access data, which can indicate an internal threat.
Tools that record and monitor user activity can provide audit trails that are valuable for investigating and responding to incidents.
• Principle of Minimum Privilege (PoLP): Apply the principle of least privilege to ensure that employees have only the access they need to perform job functions.
This minimizes the risk of information being accidentally or maliciously shared.
• Continuous training and awareness raising: Educate employees about the risks of insider threats and the importance of complying with company data security related policies.
Training should emphasize the responsibility of each employee in protecting the assets of the organization, especially in remote environments.
Incident Response Strategy: Develop a clear incident response strategy, including a communication plan and role in the event of a suspected internal threat.
Rapid and effective action can mitigate the damage caused by such threats.
Threat # 5: Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a sophisticated form of cyber attack carried out by highly skilled and often state-backed groups with the aim of stealing information or spying on targets over the long term.
Unlike other cyber threats seeking quick economic gains, APT focuses on long-term penetration, staying undetected in the network, and constantly gathering valuable information.
APT is carefully planned and executed to target specific organizations for strategic reasons such as espionage or political gain.
In Germany, several famous APTs have been documented:
• Ghost Writers Movement: The campaign involved the theft of false information and credentials against German entities and is believed to be part of an effort to influence political sentiment and public perception.
• Winnti Group: The group is known for primarily attacking the gaming industry, but also targeting German tech companies with the aim of stealing intellectual property.
To defend against APTs, organizations need to implement multi-layered security measures that go beyond conventional protection.
Here are some strategies for reference:
Network segmentation: Split the network into several network segments to limit the ability of an attacker to move laterally within the system after entering a network segment.
Advanced Threat Detection Systems: Use solutions that employ machine learning and behavior analysis to detect anomalous behavior patterns in network traffic and endpoint operations that indicate the presence of APT activity.
Regular security assessments: Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests to discover and correct vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
• Comprehensive monitoring and logging: Keep detailed network activity logs and regularly monitor these logs for signs of suspicious activity.
This is essential for tracking the attacker ’ s steps and understanding their entry points.
Incident response and forensics capabilities: Develop a robust incident response plan, including forensics capabilities to investigate any breaches or intrusions, gather evidence, and understand tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) used by attackers.
• Employee training and awareness: Regularly train employees on the latest cyber threats and phishing techniques, as human error often provides the initial entry point for APT.
