“Digital Nomads” is a term used to describe young people whose lives are tied to travel, who love to experience and explore new cultures and are attached to technology devices. They belong to a generation that prefers to work freely with typical jobs such as communications, marketing, virtual assistants, design, information technology, tutoring or consulting… This generation spends most of their time traveling, immersing themselves in new lands, but can still work anywhere, anytime to pay for personal expenses. That is why they are called “digital nomads”.
However, not every country is an ideal destination for these “digital citizens”, because their specific jobs depend on internet connection, abundant electricity and other basic amenities.
