Being a digital nomad isn’t all about traveling with your laptop and working from exotic places. There are some downsides to this way of living and working as well: You are far from your actual home and family It’s difficult to plan your life around it Income and expenses will vary from month to month You’ll spend a lot of money on travel, hotels, eating at restaurants, etc. You’ll be in unfamiliar places all the time No time to really settle anywhere before moving to another place Feeling isolated Explaining to folks that you are actually working and not just having a very long vacation
