Do you want to know more about digital nomadism?
This website aims to offer research-based knowledge on digital nomadism in a popularised form. More and more academic research is currently conducted on digital nomads. It is essential to relay research-based observations on the phenomenon to the larger public.
Digital nomadism and Research
The digital nomad lifestyle is adopted by an increasing number of people, especially after the Covid19 pandemic. Research on digital nomads shows that they value flexibility and location independence of working lives. Digital nomads travel to destinations with warm weather and lower cost of living, yet they can suffer from the lack of meaningful social relationships and loneliness brought by their lifestyle.
