Pros

The most obvious advantage to the digital nomad lifestyle is of course the ability to travel freely. With no brick and mortar location to tie you down, you’re free to work anywhere you can get yourself set up. There’s also the freedom from a rental agreement. What most people find they dislike most about their jobs is not the work itself, but rather the work environment, the co-workers and the management. Being a digital nomad offers recompense from what has become the standard stale office archetype. Traveling often means you’re also getting accustomed to new cultures and worldviews and new environments. Seeing more helps to expand perspective and creativity. With proper budgeting and taking advantage of travel and lodging savings programs, you can begin to build savings to invest in your business and to enjoy and experience more life.

Cons

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows on the digital nomad trail. Being far away from friends, family, and familiar environment can be difficult. You will have to adjust to different laws, customs, time zones, and life philosophies. Majority of digital nomads rely on wifi to get their work accomplished, and there are times when travel can present a difficulty finding steady, reliable wifi. Your most constant and heaviest expenses will be food and lodging, and it works a little differently everywhere you go. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of digital nomadic life is maintaining your work leisure balance. Traveling in and of itself can be exhausting and of course you’ll want to explore and enjoy your new environments. Finding the ideal balance between work and play is the most quintessential element in in making the lifestyle work and be enjoyable.

Being a digital nomad is not of everyone, but if you find yourself intrigued it can provide a very rewarding alternate lifestyle. Some people prefer the security that a stable 9-5 brick and mortar career offer, but as the world changes and paradigms shift, new opportunities are opening up. It’s on you to do your due diligence and decide whether life on the road is for you or not.
