What You Need To Know When Working Remotely While Traveling
By AMELIA GLEAN
To squeeze the best bits out of this lifestyle, you need the right job. The most common remote jobs are in tech and arts, such as software developers, writers, editors, etc.
Job
These roles allow you to work remotely without much contact time, which is imperative for a digital nomad. Most are project-led, so after finishing your tasks, you can log off.
When choosing a destination, think about the environment and weather you like. Florence is great for art, while India's Dharamshala is good for mountain lovers.
Destination
Check that you'll have good Wi-Fi, and keep in mind that Scandinavian countries are more expensive, while places in Southeast Asia or Latin America are much more affordable.
You'll need a computer that's light enough to carry around but has all the necessary functionality. If you have a creative role, extra equipment might be required.
Tech
Open-plan hostels or rental apartments with working areas are great for accommodation, as you can get your projects done while socializing with like-minded people.
Accommodation
If you prefer to stay in a private bungalow or apartment, go to cafés and local libraries for your working days — both provide free WiFi and a unique chance to engage with others.
Setting and tracking your budgets daily is one of the most important duties. Choose your budgeting style and use a budgeting app to keep track of expenses.
