In the age of the Internet and social media, they have created a new professional profile – the digital nomad. Freed from the 8 a.m. to 5 a.m. office job, they simply pack up their laptop and head out into the wide world to work independently. It may sound like a fairy tale, but it is true: digital nomads need nothing more than a notebook and internet access. They can now work whenever and wherever they want, mostly on their own blogs, from which they also earn good money. Are you not convinced? Then take a closer look at these five blogs from successful digital nomads.
