Most Digital Nomads Face These 4 Challenges. Here’s How You Solve Them.
Being a digital nomad isn’t always fun and games
The digital nomad or expat life is popular right now. Understandably so.
After years of unpredictable lockdown and reopening cycles due to the ongoing pandemic, the increasing trend towards work-from-anywhere, and now unsustainable inflation rates, it’s not hard to see why some are looking for a new place where they can just live.
But where there’s surging demand for a new way of life, there are also influencers eager to step in and provide “information” in exchange for clicks.
Digital nomad influencers portray their lifestyle as one of unparalleled freedom. The glossy digital nomad Instagram pages depict a life of constant adventure, moving from one exotic locale to another, experiencing all that the world has to offer, all while building their online business.
I think we’re all aware of the problems with social media. Influencers portray an over-glamorised lifestyle to collect clicks and sell courses.
Step away from the idealised image of the digital nomad lifestyle for a while, and the picture becomes much more complicated.
