Nomadic travelling: find out how to travel the world full-time

Nomadic travelling is a dream for many, but can seem like a daunting task. In this article, I share all you need to know to become a travel nomad.

Adam NomadicVA.com

Jul 03, 2023

Are you curious about nomadic travelling? If you want to know how to travel the world full-time while living the digital nomad lifestyle , you're not alone. I asked that question for years, and now it's the main question people ask me. 

I quit my job in a UK High School in January 2018. To begin with, I was earning less than $50 per month as a freelancer.  Now I have my own Virtual Assistant business and I'm really enjoying this nomadic travelling lifestyle.

By sharing what I learned I hope to encourage more people to take the leap and become travel nomads like me.

What is nomadic travelling?

Many people have been talking about nomadic travelling, but what exactly does it mean? 

According to the dictionaries, a nomad is "an individual who roams about". Basically, it's someone who travels around the world without a home base. In most cases, a travel nomad has no set plans, deciding to spend a few weeks or months in different places as they feel like. 

There are many types of nomadic travellers and plenty of different ways to support this lifestyle, as I'll show you below. But most of them have some things in common, such as the eagerness to see the world and immerse themselves in different cultures .

In this article, we'll focus on digital nomadism, which means supporting yourself by working online as you travel the world. But it's also possible to find local jobs while you travel.

The truth about nomadic travelling

Taking the step from travelling for pleasure to becoming a professional nomad isn't easy. In recent years an entire industry has popped up around it. 

There are thousands of nomadic travelling courses all promising to give you the financial freedom to wander the globe. Honestly, most of them are junk. I know because I paid for lots of them.

They sell the dream, and who doesn't want the dream? Sitting on a beach with your laptop, the cash rolling in as you enjoy another cocktail. 

But where do they plug these laptops in to recharge them? How do they stop them from overheating in that baking sun? Have you ever tried to get sand out of a keyboard?

These are just some of the questions you should be asking when someone pitches you that dream.

In honesty, being a digital nomad is a full-time job . True, your 'office' may be prettier than most and you decide your own working hours, but you still need to grind away. Your success or failure is completely on your own shoulders.

Before you make any decisions, you should be completely truthful with yourself:

• Are you self-motivated?
• Are you a creative thinker?
• Do you enjoy studying and constantly developing your skills?
• Are you determined?

These are all qualities you'll need to succeed in a life of nomadic travelling . If you have these qualities and a plan, your journey will be much easier.

I speak from experience. My first attempt at nomadism in 2004 failed because I had a plan but no self-discipline. The second time, 2014, I had total focus but no real plan. Third time lucky! 

This time I worked out a plan before I left England and stuck to it. If I knew in 2004 what I know now, life would be very different indeed... But that's a topic for a different post.

Okay, so you're mentally ready. What's the next step?

Before you start selling everything you own you'll first need to sharpen the skills that will help you succeed as a nomadic traveller. While you're in the comfort of your own home with minimal distractions, it's time to study.

What skills does a digital nomad need?

There are hundreds of routes to becoming a digital nomad.  From Graphic Design to Freelance Writing to Teaching English - anything that can be done using only a laptop and a solid internet connection.

It's impossible to list all the skills you'll need as they differ from person to person. However, one skill that's useful for over 80% of nomads is SEO. 

That means Search Engine Optimization: optimizing a website or piece of content so that it features highly in the major search engines . 

If you have even a basic understanding of SEO, you can get into:

• Blogging & Reviews
• Sales & Marketing
• Communications
• Dropshipping
• Print on Demand (PoD)
• Virtual Assistant and a million other jobs

The good news is there is plenty of free content about it available online. You can watch videos, read books, listen to podcasts. Become an SEO ninja and you'll be able to turn your hand to any number of jobs.

If you're doing something else — teaching online, editing videos, etc then SEO may not be so useful. It's still a very handy skill to master though.

So now you're mentally prepared and you have some skills. Let's do some research.

How much money do you need to be a travel nomad?

That depends on your style of travel and your destination. Spend a few days looking at Nomad List and  Numbeo . With Numbeo you can compare the cost of living in your hometown or country to your desired destination. Nomad List is a bit more personal and more visual.

This should give you an idea of how much it will cost to survive as a travel nomad . But be aware that these are average numbers for average travellers, and you are not average. There are many things you can do to lower your cost of living on the road.

Firstly we start by cutting out all non-essential costs . What are the biggest costs of travel? Transport and accommodation.

You can read my earlier article about how to find cheap airfare any time of year , which should help to reduce the cost of transportation. 

To eliminate your accommodation costs, my suggestion is to find a project to volunteer at through  Worldpackers . This platform allows you to exchange a few hours of work for free accommodation and some extra benefits in most parts of the world, making it a great way to become a full-time traveller . 

It's very easy to use: you can quickly create a free account at the Worldpackers website and browse through the thousands of opportunities available there. When you find something you like, you can subscribe and apply for as many positions you want for a whole year.

How to save money for travelling

So now all you need is survival money. Cancel all unnecessary outgoings (Netflix and other monthly subscriptions), pay off all existing debts, credit cards and sell most of your earthly belongings. You're quickly going to learn how little you need to survive (and it's such a liberating feeling!)

Now you've sold everything you should hopefully have some savings. Some countries require proof of savings before they'll allow you to enter. Even if they don't, it's important to have an emergency fund in case something unexpected happens.

Your savings won't last forever though, so now it's time to make some money.

As previously discussed, there are an endless number of ways to become a nomad. I travel the world full-time, and here's how I manage it .

How to travel the world full-time as a digital nomad

1. become a freelance writer.

One of the best ways to support your nomadic travelling is to  become a freelance writer . That way, you can travel the world on your own terms.

A big portion of my income comes from writing. I  write guest posts for websites and  receive monthly royalties from the travel book I wrote in 2018. The royalties aren't a life-changing amount, but they help to pay the bills. I plan to release my second book later this year and then a few more when I can find the time.

2. Affiliate marketing

Why not start a travel blog and take advantage of the perks of affiliate marketing?

Affiliate sales earned through my website are my next biggest income stream. They vary from month to month, but once the article is written the income is completely passive. 

It doesn't cost a penny to promote affiliate links,  yet it has the potential to bring in buckets of cash. I know plenty of nomads who survive purely on affiliate sales alone.

3. Side hustle

You can also find some side hustles that will add up to the the main work you do. For instance, I design and sell t-shirts and merchandise through websites like:

• Spreadshirt
• Etsy  
• Redbubble  

I upload the same designs to all the different sites and receive a small amount of income each month from the sales. If I had the time to invest in more designs, the earnings would be bigger. I'm not a graphic designer by trade so it takes time. I'm currently looking into outsourcing the design process.

I've recently got into audio transcription and website reviews . These are both side hustles and not something I'll invest too much time into, but if they bring in extra money per week I'll be happy.

4. Work with brands

Freelance writing, affiliate sales, and side hustles cover the bulk of my income. However,  due to my social media presence, I've also had the opportunity to work with some big brands.  

I was given £800 worth of camera equipment to test and review, and I've run giveaways with other companies. This doesn't happen every day, but it's entirely possible if you get your name out there. 

You can then make sponsored social media posts or exchange services or products for advertisement, recommending what you like to your audience.

5. Help people

How do you get your name out there? How do you gain a reputation as an authority? Help people . 

Search Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups or other forums. Find people asking questions about your niche and answer them. If you consistently provide value then people will remember you .

6. Become a Virtual Assistant

I had toyed with the idea for over a year. Finally, the Covid-19 pandemic gave me the push I needed. What's the difference between being a freelancer and being a Virtual Assistant ? Now I have regular clients for whom I perform regular, weekly tasks.

Whatever your skillset, VAs are doing that job - data entry, graphics, customer service, dentistry, etc. Covid-19 opened lots of eyes to remote work and whether a traditional office working space was as important as we'd always believed.

I work with clients as diverse as local pet shops, nationally recognized photographers and global travel brands. I create content and run their marketing. Other VAs are good with accounting, social media, run podcasts or translate content . Choose your niche and run with it.

Becoming a VA has given me stability while still allowing me to live the nomadic lifestyle.

7. Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a staple job for plenty of nomads. In this business model, store owners don’t manage inventory themselves. Instead, they buy the items from a third-party supplier who fulfills customers’ orders for them.

It requires:

• An investment to get your shop up and running
• Time to research and discover profitable niches
• Money to run adverts to drive traffic to the shop

After that, it’s just a couple of hours of maintenance and research per day.

Diversify your income

Speaking of stability, it you want your nomadic travelling lifestyle to be sustainable you should think about different ways to sell your skills.

For example:

I write freelance blog posts for clients. Each post I write earns me a certain amount of money. If I want to earn more, I need to write more. There are only so many hours in the day, so I need a way to make more money using the same skills. How? I diversify.

Other people want to do what I do, so I can teach others how to be a freelancer . That could come in several ways - I could write an e-book, sell online-courses or record a webinar.

Once they're recorded and released, these digital products become a source of passive income. I still need to promote them, but they can provide an alternative income stream. 

Ask yourself: how can you repackage the skills you have into different formats?

Other options for making money online

If you're looking for other options for making money online  and living as a travel nomad, then research the Freelance websites:

Take the time to look through the variety of opportunities. You might be surprised by some of the vacancies available around the world.

One thing to note with these sites is that they're very competitive. Be prepared for plenty of rejections. Don't take any of it personally and just keep firing out the applications and pitches . The more you do, the better you'll get. If you're lucky, you'll land a position after only a few applications. If not, don't get disheartened.

Before investing any money, be sure to research as much as possible . You can find plenty of great websites with lots of free information and a gazillion Youtube tutorials. Unless you have money to burn I wouldn’t recommend taking a course as they mostly just repackage all the free information.

My future goal is to get into owning property. If you're lucky enough to own your own place, then renting it out as an Airbnb is an idea. It's not completely passive income as you'll need to manage everything, but it's definitely a great income stream. 

Words of wisdom from a nomadic traveller

Now that you have an idea of how to travel the world while working full-time , spend some time planning where you'll go. Nomadic travelling is amazing, but some people get lost about where to start.

I wrote a piece about the 15 best cities for digital nomads . That should be a good starting point. It highlights not just great places to stay but also places to meet like-minded people.

Once you've chosen a destination (or many), don't forget to do some research on visas.

Digital Nomad Visas

As Covid-19 encouraged more people to explore remote work, more countries decided to offer special visas for digital nomads and location-independent workers.

Now, at least 13 countries are offering some form of remote work visa. Estonia was the first, but now you can choose from others like Croatia, Costa Rica, Portugal, Mexico, Bermuda and Barbados .

Each has different requirements, so you'll need to read the small print.

How will that change the game? It'll give more rights and options to people living the remote life. Access to local healthcare being the biggest. While that might not be top of mind right now, it beats living off expensive travel insurance.

Is the nomadic travelling lifestyle lonely?

It doesn't have to be.

While you may enjoy the solitude of solo travel, having the opportunity to brainstorm with other experienced nomads is priceless. Maybe you're struggling and they can help. Maybe they're struggling and you can help them.

The nomad community that I've encountered has always been warm, welcoming   and willing to help. True, everyone is trying to make money for themselves, but with over 4 billion internet users worldwide there's room for everyone.

How do you connect with other remote workers and entrepreneurs? Coworking spaces are a great start . You'll meet lots of international travellers and like-minded individuals, sharing professional skills. These spaces are available in most big cities and digital nomad destinations around the world.

As well as the physical communities, it's also worth joining several online nomad communities . The life of a digital nomad can, at times, be lonely and frustrating. If you have a bad run of luck, your income drops or something else unexpected happens, it’s good to reach out for advice.

Check out the  top digital nomad blogs to follow  for inspiration. There are also plenty of good Facebook groups and great Reddit forums. A man is not an island, and you shouldn't attempt to be. 

The ability to network in these groups could open up some amazing collaborations and opportunities . Plus, by helping others, you're also building your authority and brand.

Perhaps the final thing to keep in mind is why you are doing it. Yes, it's hard work. Yes, it's stressful and unpredictable. But you're choosing this path because you want freedom, independence and to be the master of your own destiny. Don't trade one stressful cage for another.

Take your time. You' re in this for the long game, so choose a destination and stay there for a month or three . Take the time to learn the local routine, language and customs. Enjoy the moment before you move on to the next. Not many people are brave enough to walk the path you've chosen, so savor every second of it.

So there you go. That's my story, my journey, how I can afford to travel the world while working full-time , and a brief outline of how you can too.

You could choose a completely different path, such as:

• Teaching languages online
• Doing Photoshop projects on Fiverr
• Producing your own videos on YouTube
• Live streaming gaming walkthroughs on Twitch

The possibilities are endless. 

If you're looking to learn even more about how to travel the world with a full-time job , just start! Diving into the world of nomadic travelling and freelance work can be scary at first, but don't be put off. One project inevitably leads to the next and, with persistence, your freelance work can become a full-time career.

Whatever path you choose, be persistent, be brave and be creative. Good luck!

12 Most Popular Digital Nomad Programs To Travel The World

by Denise Mai | Last updated Mar 15, 2023

Working in a location-independent job brings many advantages , and being able to travel the world is just one of them. Many people would like to see the world, but don’t want to go alone. Or they are just starting out as a nomad and prefer to be surrounded by like-minded people. Or they already are successful nomads who want to enlarge their network and join other communities. Digital nomad programs are a great way to cover all of that.

The following text shows the biggest benefits, but also downsides of these programs, and gives an overview of 12 of the most popular ones out there.

Table of Contents

Advantages of Organized Nomad Programs:

• Usually, all you have to organize are your flights to the starting point and back home again. The rest of the tour gets organized. You don’t have to worry about accommodation, transport, or itineraries, and can focus on your work and meeting other nomads.
• The internet is very important for digital nomads and can be hard to get in some countries. When you are traveling with digital nomad programs, the organizers make sure you always have a fairly strong internet connection, so you can work properly.
• You will meet many like-minded people. Learn from other location-independent workers and create synergies.
• You don’t only get to work at exotic places, but also have plenty of opportunities to explore the area, go on adventures and make some fantastic experiences.

Disadvantages of Organized Nomad Programs:

• Some digital nomad programs can be quite expensive. Sometimes you even have to pay for the application process, with no guarantee to actually participate. Very often you could do the same trip for less money.
• Most programs take groups of 10-50 people. With that limited capacity, there are more applicants than available seats. So only because you want to join a tour, doesn’t mean that you actually get a placement.
• Another big downside is that you are not exactly free to do what you want. If you don’t like the city you are in, you still have to stay until the next planned change of location. If you like the place and would like to stay longer, you have to leave when the group moves on.
• The programs are no place to find work. You need to have your income sorted before you apply.

Popular Digital Nomad Programs

1. remote year.

Remote Year is probably the biggest and best-known of all digital nomad programs. A group of 50-80 freelancers, entrepreneurs, and professionals travel together for one year. Every month they visit a new city throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa.

The total cost is $27,000, which includes accommodation, 24/7 internet, transport between the countries, and community events.

Update: If you can’t go traveling for one entire year, they now offer tours for 4 or 6 months, too. Definitely worth checking out! Here you can see their products.

2. Venture with Impact

The concept of Venture with Impact is slightly different from that of other digital nomad programs. You travel to the country of your choice, for instance, Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, or Portugal, and join the group on a monthly basis.

During that time you stay in that particular location and work in your remote job. Besides that, you get to work in a pro-bono placement in a local organization, e.g. in education or human rights.

This is a great chance to live abroad with a group of like-minded people, get to know the local culture, do your remote job, AND have a positive social impact.

Prices start from $2,200 and include a private room, cultural immersion, all kinds of support (booking flights, vaccinations, etc.), and volunteering placement.

Update : Venture with Impact now offers theme-based weekly retreats, as well. Head to their website to check them out.

3. CoWorkParadise

CoWorkParadise is located in Bali, where 12 high-level entrepreneurs live together in a villa for three weeks. They have the opportunity to attend high-level workshops, learn new skills, and connect with other successful entrepreneurs. This is a great chance to grow your business even further.

The 3 weeks cost you $4,995, including a private room, 24/7 coworking space, breakfast and dinner, and some cool trips.

4. B-Digital Nomad

As you might be able to tell from the name, B-Digital Nomad is the right place for every passionate digital nomad. You get to see one new country per month and places like Vancouver, Bali, or Durango. This program also includes initiatives that impact the communities and social events with local business owners.

They have options for 1, 4, or 12 months and prices start from $1,250.

Prices vary depending on the length of stay from $1,550 for 2 weeks. You can choose to book the program only or have your housing included.

7. Nomad Train

Nomad Train has grown to be a very popular program for digital nomads. You join a group of like-minded remote professionals on an epic trip with the Trans-Siberian Railway through Russia and Mongolia. On the train, you get plenty of time to network and exchange experiences and skills. Besides that, you also have the opportunity to work on the train and get access to coworking spaces when staying in cities along the way.

The price starts at 1,270 Euro and includes accommodation, food, and mobile data.

8. Project Gateway

Project Gateway is another digital nomad program that brings together hand-selected entrepreneurs in Bali. Here they attend mastermind sessions and business talks and work on growing their businesses even further. The special thing is that you can even bring your entire team to participate in the digital nomad program.

Prices vary from $2,975 for one month. It includes meals, workshops, and different activities.

Great list of programs. They all sound amazing! One more that you may want to add to your list is Stay Awhile ().

It’s a digital nomad program for all the self-proclaimed food lovers out there.

If you’re thinking of refreshing the blog post, I think it would be a great one to add to the list.

Thanks a lot, Joe! Remote work options for families are not different from single nomads. The flexibility is one of the greatest benefits of online jobs :) Or do you mean articles on traveling as a nomadic family? If so, not yet but I’m currently working on it. Stay tuned ;)

Great blogpost you put together here. Thanks! Was wondering if you have any articles on remote work options for nomadic families

Hi Brigitte, thanks for letting me know! I’ll update this post for 2020 in a few weeks anyway and include the new information.

I am the owner of CoworkParadise, number 3 on your list We updated our program, it is now 3 weeks, 4,995 euro. If you want to join, we recently are open for 11 spots February 25th or May 8th 2020.

Hi Laydell, most of these programs are for people who already work online and want to connect and travel together with other remote professionals. They usually don’t intend to help people become digital nomads. I don’t have any experience with a legit program or course that teaches you the “full package”. I can only recommend you to read books, blogs, join Facebook groups or Meetup groups (if there are any near you) to connect with others. You can check out this guide for a start: How to Become a Digital Nomad . Hope that helps!

These all sound like great groups but I don’t know anything about how to become a digital nomad but I am curious, So which one of these groups can show me the ropes and get started? even if its none of the groups listed here.

Thanks for your comment Ashok! If you do, have a great time during the program!

No I haven’t participated in any of the above mentioned programs. But it is really infromative and I do wanna go for 2 weeks program. Thank you for this insight.

Hi Prasant, 900 days on the road is definitely a long time! I think at some stage everyone needs a little break and has to slow down on the constant traveling part. Until you feel the urge to do so, enjoy your trip to the fullest! ;)

Constant travel is not easy, we’ve only been on the road a little over 900 days and it can be tiring and hard especially if you are constantly camping, living outside in all the climate zones that exists. I can totally understand that you wanted a “base of operations” We’ve talked about the same thing and will probably do it too at some point

Thanks a lot, Kaz, glad you find it helpful! And thanks for your add, sounds interesting indeed. I will definitely check them out! x

Gday and aloha, DNS!

This list is very helpful and diverse – thank you! I’d like to add wanderistlife to your list of fantastic Digital Nomad travel experience options. They focus on diversity, stay in each location for three months so you can “feel and live like a local”, allow children over the age of eight, and have tremendous flexibility within the group and travel. Also, it is really affordable!

I look forward to continuing to follow your blog and posts as they are great! xx Wandering Kaz

Happy to have helped :). Looking forward to the new post!

Awesome, thanks a lot, Arthur! :) A few of them I have already mentioned in this post: https://www.digitalnomadsoul.com/digital-nomad-programs-and-retreats/ I will publish another one about digital nomad programs and retreats soon and will definitely keep these ones in mind!

Thanks for creating this overview! Very helpful. I found a few more you might want to add to the list? Nomad House, Venture with Impact https://www.venturewithimpact.org/ ,

Awesome, thanks a lot for your ideas, Sara! I’ll have a look into both NomadTrain and Flystein :)

NomadTrain is another great program and they have the second edition in few months.

>Usually all you have to organize are your flights to the starting point and back home again. This is true, but you could save time and money with nomad-friendly service Flystein: https://www.flystein.com/ which partner with many digital nomad communities.

I see you don’t monetize your blog, don’t waste your traffic, you can earn extra cash every month because you’ve got high quality content. If you want to know what is the best adsense alternative, search in google: adsense alternative Mertiso’s tips

Thank you, Becky! :) And the mentioned programs and retreats are just a few of them. Clearly shows the growing demand for digital nomad services and products. Love it! And good luck with your blog! Hope to hear from it soon. x

This is really interesting, I have never heard of such programmes before. I’m like years away from even considering anything like that, just started my Blog a few months ago. But thanks for the information :)

Nomadic Lifestyle: The How, What, When, and Why of My Nomad Travel

If you’d told me as a graduating high schooler that I was to spend 5 years of my life traveling the world, creating my own job, and living a life of luxury. I’d have thought you were insane. But it turns out, it was all true.

Ten years ago I started a journey that changed my life. Many people have joined since then and not everyone knows where the journey began. So to celebrate my 10th anniversary I thought I would share a post on burning questions I frequently get asked about our previous nomadic family lifestyle.

What is a nomadic lifestyle?

2011 my kid’s father and I were sitting on the couch dreaming of two permanent residences. The further conversation moved to how it would feel to live a life where home is wherever you made it. It was no house, no van, no building, but wherever we were – all together.

The official nomadic lifestyle definition is “ a way of life of peoples who do not live continually in the same place but move cyclically or periodically. ” In Erin’s English nomad travel generally means ridding yourself of a home base and living a travel-centric life. It typically refers to travelers with no set plans who frequently move from place to place.

Why do nomads travel?

We had a good income at the time and were considering buying a more expensive home after we had just purchased a BMW convertible. Our thoughts wondered where does it stop? Once we have the more expensive home, what next? Wasn’t there more than this rat race existence?

At the time I thought a nomadic family lifestyle was insane, with two small children, but by 2012 I was convinced that a 6-month stint around the world would be a bit of an adventure. An exit from a rat race I never intended to be in. It was never intended to last more than 6 months, but it went on for 5 years.

Travel opens you up to more possibilities and expands your horizons, figuratively and literally. Whether you stick to a relatively small area like Cullen Fischel of Cleveland or go international, there is much more to discover around every corner.

How do you start a nomadic lifestyle?

I have a great post about what you need to do to start your nomad lifestyle here . From bank accounts to selling cars, renting houses, and planning your trip.

I love to be super organized without too many surprises so I planned our entire 6 months upfront. All in South East Asia. 2 months in Bali, a month in Kuala Lumpur , a month in Penang, a month in the Philippines, and a month in Bangkok, Thailand.

It wasn’t until after 6 months that I thought, “Hey, this is really working” and decided to ditch the return home plans and keep going, moving over to the other side of the planet landing in New York City for Christmas.

Where did you go?

You can find a complete list of places we traveled while nomadic here . In total across 5 years, I did 68 countries with 2 kids. Forbes labeled them some of the “world’s most well-traveled children.”

In a very short summary, our nomadic family lifestyle started with 6 months in South East Asia, before flying to the US and spending 2 months there. Then we went on a few months in the Middle East – Dubai, Turkey, Israel, Jordan.

After a quick visit back to Australia we then train traveled through Europe for 6 months, visiting the UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, German, Belgium, Croatia, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Wales, Bulgaria , France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Malta, Turkey, and so on.

We missed Bali so we headed back to South East Asia and a quick visit home to Australia, before obtaining a US Visa . Then it was back to the US for 2 years with trips to Canada, Mexico , Guatemala to break up our visa options. Our final journey was a 15-day cruise around Hawaii, before flying home to Australia via where it all began – Bali .

How do nomads travel?

Our journey is so different to many. We traveled fairly fast in nomad travel terms. We were never in one place longer than 2 months. But if we had a long plane ride we tended to stay in that part of the world for a significant amount of time.

Hence we were in South East Asia for 6 months that first time.  We also spent 6 months in Europe. And 2 years exploring the US, Canada, and Central America.

I preferred hiring a car because I had two young kids with me on our nomadic family lifestyle journey and it was more cost-effective, easier & safer to get them around. However, I have taken trains, buses, chicken buses, helicopters, cruise ships, bicycles, tuk-tuks, taxis, husky sleds, reindeer sleighs , you name it.

How did you afford a nomadic lifestyle?

One burning question I am always asked is how did I afford it . Nomadic travel is cheaper than living in a suburb, at least it was compared to Western Australia , one of the most expensive cities in the world.

At the time my kid’s father was a web designer and I managed his accounts so we set off with the intent of him to continue working, which he could do as long as he had wifi and his laptop.

The very first day we arrived in Bali on our one-way ticket I wrote a blog post on my brand new website etbender.com. I had run a poll on my Facebook wondering if my friends and family would be interested in reading it and they said yes! So instead of retelling my stories over and over, I penned them down for everyone to enjoy.

It was less than 3 months later that I was in Malaysia, watching a Chinese Street Festival that a lady in the crowd called my name. She rushed up to me and said, “I can’t believe it’s you – I read your blog!”

I was gobsmacked. I thought only my friends read my blog?

I found a way to check my statistics and realized I had 6,000 people a month tuning in to read my online diary. I changed the name of my blog to travelwithbender.com and started writing more informative posts to all those that were enjoying my writing.

From that day I started to earn small bits of money here and there on my blog. And before long it was pulling in a very steady part-time income.

2 years later in 2014, my kid’s father decided he had enough of doing web design and sold his business. He wanted to work on the blog with me. I did warn him that it was my blog and I’d be the boss, and he said that was fine until he found something else to do. He never did. From 2014 with both of us working on the blog it grew and became our full-time income. I created my own job and formed a modern nomadic lifestyle.

In 2016 my blog made USD 150,000 without including all the free travel, and products I was given. It was a sad ending for Travel With Bender though, as in 2017 the blog was stolen. 5 years of an online diary taken from me. It hurt. But out of the ashes Explore with Erin was born and I have continued to blog for ten years, making an income for myself and my kids. Many thanks to you, whoever you are reading now.

Please do leave a comment below and let me know how long you’ve been reading my stories, whether you started with Travel With Bender or you’re a big fan of Explore With Erin.

Of course, not everyone is a web designer or a professional travel blogger so consider multiple other nomadic lifestyle jobs from working in hostels or bars as you travel, being a virtual assistant, teaching English , running singing classes or art classes online, lifestyle coaching, graphic design, marketing, and so on. I could keep going and if there is one thing the pandemic has taught us during the last few years is that there are many jobs that can be done remotely as a nomadic lifestyle job. 

How much does a nomadic lifestyle cost?

During our living in Perth we were needing almost AUD 12,000 a month to live comfortably. During our travels we found ourselves spending AUD 2,000 a month in most places. Or sometimes $4,000 if we were in a more expensive destination.

Our regular costs mainly consisted of:

Housing – I never planned to spend more than $2,000 a month. Most places were around $1,600 and included electricity, gas, Wi-Fi, even cleaning and breakfast in some places. Our first stop in Bali our place was $2,000 and included a full-time chef, cleaner, nanny, and security.

Transport – Our travel fund varied, but in most countries, we would hire a car for $400 a month or less. In some places, we didn’t need any transport. Flights were made during low seasons and sales, so we received maximum benefit of our money. For instance, when I was in the Philippines I found a 2 cent sale on one of their most beautiful islands!

Food – We ate at home inexpensive countries, and out in cheaper countries, like Bali or Turkey .

Sim cards – Getting data in a country is important, but never very expensive.

Insurance – I never travel without travel insurance and I always recommend you to do the same. SafetyWing is a great choice for nomads and is so cheap! Check your quote here.

What did you love about your nomadic lifestyle?

Living a nomadic lifestyle has its advantages. At the time dealing with a toddler having a screaming fit on a Caribbean island was so much more ideal than in the suburban town of the most isolated city in the world.

The freedom to go wherever whenever is so freeing. The tasting of new food, the smelling of new smells, the seeing of new sights, all so stimulating. Watching your kids see the world is like being a child again, with new eyes, new thoughts, giddy excitement.

Not being confined to a 9 to 5 job, or Keeping Up with The Jones, but to be free to have little belongings, but rich in a whole lot of experiences.

This could be a whole post in itself.

Were there any problems with a nomadic lifestyle?

Yes, there certainly was. And I have written several posts about it.

5 pitfalls of nomadic travel

Nomadic travel destroyed my commitment

7 startling realities of nomadic travel

Plus, I have a whole series on other people who have exited nomadic travel and the reasons why starting with the end of my 5-year journey .

Would you attempt a nomadic lifestyle again?

Yes and no! I think a slower more deliberate travel, between home periods, is my ideal world. I never want to be disconnected from a community again or miss loved ones for years at a time. But do I long for months of travel? Heck yes. It’s very addictive. And once you start you realize there is so much more to see.

Can I have a nomadic lifestyle too?

If you want to, you can. I believe anyone can. I wrote a post on the practical steps you need to start your nomadic lifestyle here . The mental part is up to you.

Some people go for a year, some for two, people like me go for 5. It is possible. Would you want to?

How To Plan a Digital Nomad Itinerary

Jul 2, 2020 | Digital Nomad Tips , Insights , Journey

Table of Contents

Planning your next trips as a digital nomad can be tricky. But if you do it well, you’ll get the most out of each city you’re – temporarily – living in! Here are some insights that might help you plan better your future trips as a digital nomad.

Choose the right duration for each destination

As a digital nomad, it is very tempting to explore lots of destinations as soon as possible. However, there is no need to hurry up! Digital nomads have time (years) to explore the destinations they want to live in as they are financially independent. They should, in theory, carefully choose 1 city/country at a time and move to the next one once they got the most out of the previous city. Not before.

The duration of your stay can vary. Some digital nomads will stay a few weeks in a new destination, others will stay a few months or… a few years. You will have to find your own pace and there is no good or bad answer regarding the duration of your stay. Make sure you have all the paperwork you need for the duration of your stay, this includes visa and insurance. Some providers, like SafetyWing , offer medical and travel insurance for digital nomads .

Nevertheless, a digital nomad is not a backpacker. A digital nomad needs more time to enjoy/explore the city and discover a new culture as he is working full/part-time while traveling. That is one of the reasons I’d recommend never to stay for a few days in a new city as it will be much more exhausting to work/travel at this pace. It can work for a few times, but it is not a sustainable option on the long run.

Feeling of freedom as a digital nomad: how to make it happen?

Digital nomads also have the advantage of freedom. They don’t have to stick to the plan.  Instead, they have the opportunity to take spontaneous decisions regarding their location and their stay. They can easily prolong their journey in a city they want to discover or enjoy more. They can do so as they are free to work from wherever they want.

To make this freedom happen: you should avoid booking your future flights & accommodation too early, otherwise you’ll have to pay fee cancellations. In some cases, you might not be able to get any refund at all. As a result, you’ll be confronted to a dilemma: move to your next destination “too early” or loose money by missing your next flight.

Most of the cases (except during some rushes like summer holidays and Christmas), it is possible to find stunning accommodation on really short notice on websites like Airbnb. So, don’t be in a rush to book your next destination in order to fully enjoy your digital nomad experience.

There is no ideal deadline to book your next trip. Based on my experience, it may vary from 2 months in advance to… a few days in advance. Booking your next trip as a digital nomad should be, according to me, ideally done 3-4 weeks in advance.

Picking your next accommodation? Check the WiFi speed, think “comfort” and be sure you have access to everything you daily need!

A digital nomad should really take time to set a check-list to book their next accommodation. Several important factors are important to verify.

The most obvious parameter that comes in mind: the WIFI! Always double check the WiFi speed with the host. Ask for some details if any doubt. If they don’t know what to answer, ask they to run a speedtest and send the results.

Bear in mind though that your accommodation is not your workplace. Digital nomads work from coworking, cafes and other nomad-friendly places in their city. It allows them to easily meet locals, foreigners, friends, business (and life) partners.

Your temporary accommodation should provide privacy, comfort and relaxing vibes. Always choose the most comfortable accommodation. Your sleep – as a digital nomad – is crucial and will determine your productivity on your way. Never neglect this aspect. As a digital nomad, you are earning money. Cheapest options might seem a good deal (financially) but troubles may follow (noisy place, bad internet).

Last but not least, choose an accommodation in an area where you can easily go shopping (e.g. main supermarket 10 min walking), go to your workplace and do your regular activities (e.g. running or fitness).

And you, how do you plan your next trips and how do you think you can improve it?

CURIOUS NOMAD TRAVEL

Curated journeys for the curious traveler.

ΚαλημΕρα! Good day!

Γεια σας! Hello! I'm Ashley Guyton, Founder and Operator of Curious Nomad Travel. Curious Nomad Travel is rooted in my lifelong belief that travel is the best form of education. Whether you travel to a place near or far, a curious mind and open heart can be greatly enriched by the unfamiliar...whether it be the setting, the people, the history, or all the above. Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you think you know, there’s always more to learn!

My family will tell you that I was born with an intense curiosity, love of learning, aptitude for organization and planning, and passion for exploration near and far. I founded Curious Nomad Travel in late 2018 to marry my skills and passions with purpose: to thoughtfully curate, culturally immersive, travel experiences that are informative, rejuvenating, and have the potential to open a traveler’s heart and mind to fresh perspectives on how you view the world and interact with others.

While our travel planning service often extends to the popular Cycladic Islands and cosmopolitan cities of Athens and Thessaloniki, our primary focus is curated travel to Crete . Crete offers a magical energy and rich diversity like no other place I have traveled in the world!

Curated Private Travel

Small group hosted trips.

We skillfully plan and execute curated culturally immersive trips to Crete for individuals and small groups. We are often asked “Why Crete?” Crete is unique as a Greek island in almost every aspect. As the largest Greek island, you need never board a ferry or plane to experience the diverse beauty, history, and culture of Greece…Crete offers layer upon rich layer!  

Crete is at the same time both Greek and uniquely Cretan. Rugged and wild while equally elegant and peaceful. Rich with history, mythology, and cultural tradition, while heralded for achievements and pursuits in the modern world. Even the topography and climate express the contrasts that define Crete: the east is arid, the west more humid and verdant, the south sparsely populated, and the north denser with humans and development. Imposing snow covered, jagged mountain tops loom high above placid beaches and the welcoming warm, clear blue sea. Despite its physical size and vast contrasts, one thing remains constant. The people of Crete are proud, loving, and hospitable beyond measure!

With few exceptions, every single person I know that has traveled to Crete describes the island as magical. We spend several weeks each year in Crete, exploring her nooks and crannies, soaking up her extraordinary energy, cultivating treasured relationships with native Cretans, and  always  returning home with a deeper love for this enchanting place and her people.  This passion for and intimate knowledge of Crete is infused in each of the special travel experiences we create.

۞ We love Crete for her uniqueness…her vast history, exotic beauty, rich culture, and generous and hospitable people.

۞ We believe in our talented and committed partners and the skillfully designed travel experiences we consistently deliver. 

۞ We believe that travel has the potential to broaden perspectives and even change lives.

 “All my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel - to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite…” - Nikos Kazantzakis 

What our guests see

What our guests say, send an email, curious nomad travel included experiences that you just can’t find on tripadvisor..

Sean and JayZ D.

We visited "off the beaten path" places that we would never have known to visit...

[With] a group trip, you end up putting a lot of trust in the organizer’s selections and recommendations.  Knowing Ashley’s attention to detail, we decided not to research it and go in with “fresh eyes.”  All I can say is WOW! We were not disappointed.  

We  had opportunities to get to know locals and experience the authenticity of Greece. But most importantly the itinerary was designed to help us slow down, appreciate our surroundings, and reconnect with that sense of adventure and curiosity that can often get lost in the chaos of modern life.  

Ashley is thoughtful and passionate about what she does and it comes through in every aspect of her planning. Our Greece trip is THE BEST international trip we have taken to date and I know that is in large part to the experiences curated by Ashley and beautifully delivered by her Greek partners. Thanks Ashley!

Want to work remotely in Italy? The country just launched its new digital nomad visa.

Remote workers with dreams of working from the rolling hills of Tuscany or the cliffs of Positano are now one step closer to making that reality. Italy launched a new digital nomad visa.

Two years after its announcement, the highly anticipated digital nomad visa officially became available for those eligible on April 4.  

“Italian-style, everything happens slowly,” said Nick Metta, a lawyer for the law firm Studio Legale Metta , which has helped Americans relocate to Italy for decades. “Now there is a pipeline of people waiting just to file the application. It's been a long-awaited visa.” 

Most of Metta’s clients would previously apply for a student visa, which allowed them to work part time in Italy. 

Under the new visa, people will be able to work from Italy for one year, with the option to renew once their visa is due for expiration. Without a visa, U.S. travelers could only stay in Italy for up to 90 days without the ability to work.

The launch makes Italy the latest European country to offer a digital nomad visa , which has already been available in Greece and Hungary. 

Here’s everything we know about the digital nomad visa for Italy:

Destinations behind a paywall? What to know about the increasing tourist fees worldwide.

Who can apply for a digital nomad visa in Italy?

According to the official decree , the visa is meant for those who “carry out a highly qualified work activity through the use of technological tools that allow you to work remotely.” 

The regulations define eligible applicants as “digital nomads,” self-employed freelancers, “remote workers,” or those employed by a company outside of Italy and can work from anywhere, according to Studio Legale Metta.

To qualify for the visa, the applicant has to meet certain requirements:

◾ A university or college degree or an accredited professional license.

◾ Six months of work experience in the industry, or five years for applicants without a university degree.

◾ An existing employment contract.

◾ A criminal record check.

◾ Proof of an annual income of 28,000 euros (about $29,880.06).

◾ Evidence of housing in Italy.

◾ Evidence of health insurance coverage.

Applicants can also apply to have family members join them on their Italian move, but the government has to give the final approval. 

How do I apply for the digital nomad visa in Italy?

Thankfully, Metta said the paperwork for the digital nomad visa isn’t “too complicated.” 

The first stop for interested applicants will be the Italian Consulate for their area. “Consulates are basically the front of the government to receive the applications,” Metta said. Interested applicants can book an appointment with the consulate and start gathering their necessary documents. People can also apply by mailing in their application. (However, Metta did mention consulate websites are often confusing and outdated, so working with a relocation service can make things easier.)

To apply, applicants will also need a passport with an expiration date at least three months after the end of the visa period and two passport-sized photos.

Relocation services can also help people navigate the sometimes complicated process of applying for a visa, such as negotiating early termination penalties with landlords in Italy. 

These services also help people with state and tax planning, especially if people own assets in the U.S., like a house. Once in Italy, people need to register their residency with the town hall, which will determine what sort of taxes they’ll pay. People can speak to an international tax specialist to figure out their future taxes as well. 

How much will the visa cost?

According to Studio Legale Metta, the application fee is 116 euros (about $123.78) per person.

How long will the application process take?

Not too long, actually. Metta estimates the process could take just three weeks if applicants are “well-organized and have all your tax documents filed.”

From digital hubs teeming with innovation to breathtaking natural landscapes, this guide will inspire and inform you on where to roam in the ever-evolving world of digital nomadism. Get ready to pack your bags and embark on an unforgettable adventure!  

Advantages of being a digital nomad

Being a digital nomad offers a multitude of advantages that make it an appealing lifestyle choice. First and foremost, the freedom to work from anywhere in the world is a game-changer. No longer tied to a single location, you have the flexibility to choose your workspace and live in places that inspire you.  

Furthermore, digital nomadism allows you to immerse yourself in different cultures and explore new horizons. Traveling and experiencing diverse environments can foster personal growth, broaden your perspective, and enhance your creativity.  

Another significant advantage is the potential for cost savings. Digital nomads can often live in places with a lower cost of living, allowing them to stretch their budget further. Additionally, the ability to work remotely eliminates commuting expenses and gives you more control over your personal finances.  

Popular destinations for digital nomads in 2024

In the year 2024, several destinations are set to become hotspots for digital nomads. These locations offer a unique blend of modern infrastructure, natural beauty, and vibrant communities that cater to the needs of remote workers.  

One such destination is Bali, Indonesia . Known for its stunning beaches, lush rice terraces, and vibrant culture, Bali has long been a favorite among digital nomads. In 2024, the island is set to become even more appealing, with the establishment of new co-working spaces and an expanded digital nomad community.  

Another emerging destination is Medellín, Colombia . With its pleasant climate, affordable cost of living, and a growing economy, Medellín has become a magnet for digital nomads seeking a balance between work and play. The city’s entrepreneurial spirit and thriving tech scene make it an attractive choice for remote professionals.  

Top cities for digital nomads in 2024

In 2024, several cities are poised to be the top choices for digital nomads. These cities offer a combination of modern infrastructure, a welcoming business environment, and a vibrant social scene that caters to the needs of remote workers.  

One city that stands out is Lisbon, Portugal . With its charming architecture, sunny weather, and affordable cost of living, Lisbon has become a haven for digital nomads. The city boasts a thriving startup ecosystem, making it an ideal destination for remote professionals looking to connect with like-minded individuals. Since October 2022, Portugal issued Digital Nomad Visas , allowing remote workers and freelancers from non-EU states to obtain residency there.  

Another top city for digital nomads is Chiang Mai, Thailand . Known for its low cost of living, rich cultural heritage, and stunning natural landscapes, Chiang Mai has become a popular hub for remote workers. The city offers a wide range of co-working spaces, networking events, and digital nomad communities.  

Budgeting and finance tips for digital nomads

Managing finances as a digital nomad is crucial for maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. 

Firstly, create a monthly budget that takes into account your income, expenses, and savings goals. This will help you track your spending and ensure you’re living within your means. Consider using budgeting apps or spreadsheets to streamline this process.  

Secondly, research the cost of living in your chosen destination and adjust your budget accordingly. Keep in mind that expenses such as accommodation, food, transportation, and healthcare may vary significantly from one location to another.  

Accommodation options for digital nomads

Finding suitable accommodation is a top priority for digital nomads. In 2024, there will be a wide range of options available to cater to different preferences and budgets.  

One popular choice is co-living spaces, which provide a combination of accommodation and community. These spaces often offer private rooms or shared apartments, along with shared amenities such as co-working spaces, gyms, and social areas. Co-living spaces provide an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow digital nomads and build lasting relationships.  

For those seeking a more independent experience, serviced apartments or rental homes are a great option. These accommodations offer the flexibility and privacy of a home away from home. Websites and platforms specializing in short-term rentals can help you find the perfect place to stay.  

Transportation and travel tips for digital nomads

As a digital nomad, efficient transportation and travel planning are essential for a smooth nomadic experience in 2024. Here are some tips to help you navigate the world with ease.  

Firstly, research the transportation options available in your chosen destination. Familiarize yourself with local public transportation systems, ridesharing services, and bike-sharing programs. This knowledge will help you save time and money when getting around.  

Secondly, consider investing in a reliable laptop backpack or carry-on suitcase that meets your travel needs. Opt for lightweight, durable designs with ample storage space for your gadgets and essentials.  

Wherever you go, its so important to have travel insurance. Imagine being in a foreign country and needing unexpected medical help. Without insurance, the cost can be staggering, and the quality of care might be uncertain. Travel and health insurance for digital nomads offer emergency medical coverage which ensures access to quality care around the world without the burden of outlandish expenses.  

For those who are frequently on the move, Insured Nomads provides a package that is tailored to the unique needs of digital nomads. The World Explorer – Travel Medical Insurance is especially designed to cater to the dynamic life of a remote worker, offering up to $2,000,000 in medical benefits and coverage sweet spots for single trips lasting from a week up to 364 days.  

Workspaces and coworking spaces for digital nomads  

Finding the right workspace is crucial for digital nomads to maintain productivity and focus. In 2024, the availability of co-working spaces will continue to grow, providing remote professionals with inspiring environments to work and collaborate.  

Co-working spaces offer a range of amenities, including high-speed internet, comfortable workstations, meeting rooms, and networking events. Many spaces also provide additional perks such as free coffee, fitness facilities, and community events.  

When choosing a co-working space, consider factors such as location, price, community, and the availability of amenities that align with your specific needs. Take advantage of trial days or short-term memberships to test out different spaces and find the perfect fit.  

Networking and community building for digital nomads  

Building a strong network and connecting with like-minded individuals is vital for digital nomads seeking support, collaboration, and social interaction. In 2024, there will be ample opportunities to network and build a community of fellow nomads in your chosen destination.  

Start by joining online communities and forums dedicated to digital nomads. These platforms allow you to connect with others, exchange knowledge, and seek advice on various aspects of the nomadic lifestyle.  

Additionally, attend local meetups, networking events, and conferences focused on entrepreneurship, remote work, and digital nomadism. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities to meet professionals from different industries, share experiences, and forge new connections.  

Embracing the digital nomad lifestyle in 2024  

As we look ahead to 2024, the digital nomad lifestyle continues to thrive and evolve. With an array of exciting destinations, modern infrastructure, and a supportive community, there has never been a better time to embrace the nomadic way of life.  

By taking advantage of the advantages offered by digital nomadism, planning your budget, finding suitable accommodation, and immersing yourself in vibrant communities, you can create a fulfilling and enriching nomadic experience.  

So, pack your bags, embrace the freedom of remote work, and embark on an unforgettable journey as a digital nomad in 2024. The world is your office, and the possibilities are endless. Happy roaming!

What does World Nomads travel insurance cover?

World nomads single trip plans, which world nomads insurance plan is best for me, can you buy world nomads travel insurance online, what isn’t covered, is world nomads insurance worth it.

World Nomads

• Travelers can extend coverage mid-trip.
• The standard plan covers up to $300,000 in emergency evacuation costs.
• Plans automatically cover 200+ adventurous activities.
• No Cancel For Any Reason upgrades are available.
• No pre-existing medical condition waivers are available.

World Nomads offers the Standard and Explorer travel insurance plans and excels in sports/activity related travel insurance coverage while offering solid trip delay, baggage delay and lost luggage protections.

The provider offers insurance plans for travel to nearly any country and is available to residents of most countries. In the U.S., World Nomads policies are administered by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, a Fortune 100 company offering various types of insurance and financial products.

Here’s what you need to know about World Nomads travel insurance to help you decide which plan makes sense for your trip.

Before you buy a plan, check to see if you already have coverage through a premium travel credit card , and if so, verify whether those limits are sufficient. If they are, standalone emergency medical coverage may be adequate as the travel insurance provided by credit card often excludes healthcare expenses or offers a low limit (the Chase Sapphire Reserve® is one of the few cards to offer emergency medical and dental, however coverage is capped at $2,500 ).

Chase Sapphire Reserve®

World Nomads offers different coverage levels for its travel insurance options, but both qualify as single trip plans.

Single trip plans are designed for individuals who are leaving their home, visiting another destination (or destinations) and returning home. These travel insurance plans are the most comprehensive and provide benefits like trip cancellation, trip interruption and medical coverage. 

World Nomads is unique amongst other providers as it is a good fit for adventurous travelers. Its plans automatically include coverage for over 200+ activities, including skiing , rafting, backpacking and bouldering. Note that extreme sports are not covered.

All plans include trip protection, emergency medical insurance , emergency evacuation and coverage to protect your gear.

World Nomads offers two plans, with the latter offering higher limits and additional adventure sports coverage.

The plans can be purchased for trip duration up to a maximum 180 days, and you can extend your coverage mid-trip. The price of the policy will depend on the duration of the trip and the countries that you're visiting.

To see the cost of the insurance plan, you will need to input your trip details, your age and state of residence. Unlike many other insurers, you do not need to include the cost of your trip when searching for a World Nomads policy because trip cancellation and interruption benefits are capped at a specific dollar amount rather than a percentage of money spent.

We input a sample trip of a two-week vacation in December 2023 to Italy by a 30-year-old from Illinois.

World Nomads single trip plan cost

Here are some example World Nomads insurance costs based on our example trip.

Standard Plan

The Standard Plan ($86) is a good choice for those who are satisfied with trip cancellation and interruption coverage of $2,500 or less, do not need rental car damage protection, find the limits to be sufficient and do not need coverage for certain adventure sports.

However, this plan still shines in sports coverage, covering activities like wind surfing and bungee jumping, which are seldom covered by travel insurance companies. A full list of covered sports by plan type is available on the World Nomads site.

Explorer Plan

The Explorer Plan ($155) includes all the benefits of the Standard Plan along with higher limits, rental car damage insurance (in the states where it is available) and adventure sports (e.g., skydiving, heli skiing) coverage.

This choice is also good for those whose trips costs less than $10,000 as this is the maximum trip cancellation and interruption protection.

A Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) upgrade is not offered by World Nomads. If this option is a must, look for a travel insurance company that offers CFAR.

Selecting the appropriate plan for your travels involves understanding which coverage you’d like on the trip.

If you have a premium travel card : If you have a premium travel card that offers an adequate amount of trip cancellation / interruption benefits, you may only need to get a standalone emergency health care policy. For example, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express offers $10,000 per trip and $20,000 per year in trip cancellation benefits . Terms apply. Only the Explorer Plan ($10,000) has a comparable level of trip cancellation protection. Terms apply.

If the coverage provided by your card isn’t adequate or applicable: If you don’t have a premium travel credit card , the coverage provided by your card isn’t sufficient or you didn’t use the card to pay for your trip, then a comprehensive insurance plan like the Standard or Explorer plan might be the best choice.

More chill travelers: If you don’t need adventure sports coverage and your trip costs less than $2,500 (or you already have trip cancellation / interruption benefits from your credit card), the Standard Plan would be sufficient.

Trip insurance plans are filled with exclusions, so you’ll want to pay attention to what is and isn’t covered so there aren’t any surprises. Here are some exclusions you can expect from World Nomads:

Pre-existing conditions: If you’ve sought treatment for any illness or condition in the 90-day period preceding the start of the policy and then seek medical care for the same illness/condition, you may be on the hook for the bill since World Nomads does not cover pre-existing conditions.

Intentional acts: Losses sustained from self-harm, intoxication, drug use or criminal activity are not covered.

Travelers with pre-existing conditions might consider policies from providers like Travel Guard by AIG or Allianz .

World Nomads has been offering insurance since 2002. The company is well established and offers two single trip travel insurance policies to fit many different needs.

Both plans offered by World Nomads include trip cancellation, interruption and delays; emergency accident and sickness medical expenses; emergency evacuation; repatriation of remains; non-medical emergency transportation; baggage and personal effects; baggage delay for outward journeys; rental car damage in certain locations; accidental death and dismemberment; Generali Global Assistance; and adventure sports and activities.

World Nomads does not include Cancel For Any Reason coverage, even as an add on.

You will need to file a claim with the insurer after you’ve incurred costs related to a covered expense. If the claim is approved, you will receive a reimbursement. In some instances, such as baggage delay, World Nomads pays you a fixed amount per day rather than 100% coverage for costs incurred.

World Nomads offers some good travel insurance plans for adventurous, single-trip travelers. This is also a good fit for anyone who is uncertain about their trip length (since you can add coverage during your vacation).

Insurance can be extended mid-trip.

You can insure trips up to 180 days in length — which makes it an attractive option for digital nomads .

Adventure sports coverage is more robust than many other plans.

Simple choice of two plans.

Extreme sports are not covered.

There is no annual plan option. A policy ends once you return within 100 miles of home, even if you’re only home briefly as part of a long trip.

Regardless of your trip cost, trip cancellation and interruption coverage is capped at a dollar amount rather than as a percentage of trip cost. The Standard Plan and Explorer Plan cover trips up to $2,500 and $10,000, respectively. If you’re going on a more expensive trip, you won’t be able to protect the entire trip.

You must be 70 years old or younger to qualify for coverage.

How to maximize your rewards

You want a travel credit card that prioritizes what’s important to you. Here are our picks for the best travel credit cards of 2024 , including those best for:

Flexibility, point transfers and a large bonus: Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

I've Been a Digital Nomad for 8 Years. 8 Unusual Gadgets I Always Pack

Commentary: If you want to cultivate a work-and-travel lifestyle, you need the right gear without being bogged down. Here's what I bring.

• Publisher's Weekly bestselling author with over 2,000 articles published in 100 publications and magazines.

I vividly remember the first time I traveled. I was 10 years old when my mother sent my brother and I to Mombasa, Kenya. She's Kenyan and wanted us to experience our culture and meet family. She couldn't travel with us because of work, so my brother and I traveled from Milwaukee as unaccompanied minors. I was just old enough to be amazed by the experience of flying, walking through airports and landing in a country where English wasn't the primary language.

Decades later, in 2013, I had my first big work trip as an adult. I'm a consultant who owns a software company, and a corporation in Sydney hired me to come to its offices and train its team.

Flying to Sydney was a surreal experience. The client paid for Premium Economy seats on Virgin Atlantic, and the plane had a full bar. My hotel overlooked Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. It was on this trip that I realized how much I loved working abroad, and the nomadic lifestyle began to call me.

The author in Sydney in 2013.

But I couldn't be a digital nomad yet; three young children waited for me stateside, where I had a home, cars and everything else that comes with a "normal" life. I continued to travel for my business, but they were shorter trips, which piqued my interest in what it would be like to live in Tokyo, South Korea, London, Dublin, Cairo and other places I visited. From 2013 to 2016, I traveled to 38 countries for corporate consulting training contracts. 

Later, when my children were older and living with their mom, I got serious about being a digital nomad. As the possibility of nomadic life became increasingly real, though, moments of excitement were quickly overtaken with the sinking feeling that I was abandoning my children and family. 

Therapy helped me understand that two things can be true: I can live a nomadic lifestyle, and I can still be there for my children. My kids were supportive of my lifestyle as a digital nomad. So, in 2016, I sold all my material possessions, sold my home and relocated to Medellin, Colombia, to embrace full-time digital nomadism. 

Since then, I've lived and worked in Mexico City, the UK, Paris, Madrid, Nairobi, Bangkok, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Cape Town, Rome, Lisbon, Nice and Barcelona.

Digital nomadism has allowed the author to visit nearly 90 countries.

What I like and don't like about being a digital nomad

What I like most about being a digital nomad is how freeing the lifestyle is. I like having fewer material possessions and the ability to travel anywhere, anytime. I enjoy experiencing new cultures, history and the foods of other countries. Consulting and digital nomadism have allowed me to travel to 88 countries and live in over a dozen. I've been able to build my business and be touristy; I work Monday through Friday, then explore whatever country I'm in on the weekends.

What's hard about being a digital nomad is being far away from my family. Technologies like FaceTime, Zoom and social media make connecting more accessible, but it's not the same as hugging my kids and hanging out with them in person. Luckily, my nomadic lifestyle means I can travel to them whenever I want. 

8 unusual gadgets I always pack

As a digital nomad, tech is essential for both work and life. I need to be able to do everything I would do if I had an office, but in an Airbnb, hotel or apartment rental instead. Some of my gear is obvious, like my laptop ( M3 MacBook Pro ), smartphone ( iPhone 15 Pro Max ) and tracking tags ( AirTags ). 

The author's work hardware for nomadic travel.

Below are a few of my more nomad-specific gear picks.

iPad Magic Keyboard Folio

I spend a lot of time on airplanes, and a laptop is not always convenient to use, especially on local carriers in Europe. I travel with an iPad Air because I use it to work on planes, watch movies and streaming series and take video calls. Apple's Magic Keyboard sleeve is an iPad cover, but I also use it for the keyboard functionality in tight spaces.

Audio Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

Since I own a business, I do a lot of media interviews. Good sound is essential, so I travel with an Audio Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone. The microphone is portable and has multiple ports so that I can connect it to my laptop or iPad.

Anker MagGo Power Bank

Early in my digital nomad life, I learned that I can't depend on airports, hotels or other places for power. I travel with an Anker MagGo Power Bank to power my gadgets when wall outlets are unavailable. I like this power bank (versus the others I've tried) because it has a usage indicator and 15x fast charging. 

AirFly Bluetooth Adapter

This Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter receiver works with AirPods or wireless headphones. You plug the gadget into an airplane or train's entertainment center, allowing you to pair your wireless device. It creates a Bluetooth connection anywhere there's a regular headphone jack.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700

I've been a fan of Bose headphones and bought a pair of the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 a few years ago. I use these headphones to watch entertainment on flights and at the places I'm staying. The Bose Headphones fit more comfortably than AirPods.

Read our Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 review .

Apple EarPods

I like to also pack a set of wired headphones just in case something happens with my regular AirPods or I can't get my Bluetooth devices to work. If you scoop these up, make sure you have the necessary dongles for both your phone and computer.

Anker 332 USB Power Strip

I have all the international adaptors, but there can sometimes be a shortage of outlets where I'm staying, so I always travel with an extension cord -- it's an underestimated item in my opinion. This Anker power strip lets me use one international adapter with the extension cord and then plug in all my other cables. Surge protection is also important because every country regulates power differently.

Kings Loot Wallet with AirTag Holder

I travel mainly with credit cards, but also some cash, which is always helpful in other countries. A good RFID wallet brings me peace of mind. The Kings Loot wallet has RFID protection, but is also slim and comfortable, and there's also a slot on the front to slide in an AirTag.

Make your travel tech work for you

Whether you're embarking on a long remote work trip or exploring digital nomadism, the right gear makes the journey easier and more enjoyable along the way. Experiment with your setup on your next work trip to find what works best for you.

The country's unique fusion of ancient traditions and contemporary living, coupled with its favourable climate, creates an idyllic setting for remote work. Cities like Athens and Thessaloniki offer vibrant coworking spaces alongside cultural tapestry that seamlessly weaves history with modernity, providing an ideal balance for those seeking a fulfilling work-life experience amidst the beauty of the Mediterranean.

Canada's vast landscapes, diverse cities, and inclusive culture make it a prime destination for digital nomads since the announcement of its Tech Talent Strategy programme in summer 2023. The country's stable political environment, excellent healthcare system, and friendly locals create a welcoming atmosphere for remote workers. 

Cities like Toronto and Vancouver offer a multicultural experience, while the Canadian Rockies provide a stunning backdrop for those who appreciate the great outdoors.

Japan: Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Japan seamlessly combines tradition and cutting-edge technology, making it an intriguing destination for digital nomads, and the newest option with visas launching March 2024.

With efficient public transportation, a respected work ethic, and a unique cultural experience, cities like Tokyo and Kyoto cater to both the tech-savvy and those seeking a more traditional lifestyle. Japan's dedication to hospitality and its renowned cuisine add to the overall allure.

As the world continues to redefine the concept of remote work, these destinations stand out as beacons of opportunity and adventure. 

Nadia Elgabu, Brand and Content Manager for Stayforlong, commented on the growing digital nomads' trend: “As digital nomads in our own right at Stayforlong – we’re so pleased to see that more people are embracing this way of life. It’s great to see countries following suit to allow remote workers to experience different places and cultures.”

“Accommodation solutions must move with these changes, and we recognised this growing need ahead of the curve to provide the modern traveller with the flexible living options they require, with longer stays rewarded with more affordable rates. We’re excited to see this work-life flexibility increase over the next decade, and we’re excited to be a part of so many traveller's journeys.”

The Hexagon of Freedom Coaching Program - Unpacking the Inner Backpack

Do you suffer from decision fatigue as a traveler? Is your inner critic super loud and would you wish you could tame those inner dialogue? Do you want more freedom? Freedom from stress? Mental freedom? And are you curious about Human Design? I've been on a journey to create a stress free travel life since 2016. For me becoming a digital nomad was part of that journey and I have been combing work and travel since 2018. Being an location independent entrepreneur with a homebase and combining travel and work was my goal for so long, but I had to learn the hard way that listening to your body is perhaps the most important in this journey. Fast travel, decision fatigue and overwhelm, I've experienced it all. With so much freedom, it was hard to make choices. Until I came to a full stop and Human Design came on my path. I tamed my inner critic, worked on my money mindset, and learned to trust my body again, especially in decision making. And if you want to work on your personal development, I've bundled my knowledge and experiences in my coaching program the Hexagon of Freedom. If you want to get an idea of how the Hexagon of Freedom is structured, then this is the episode for you. In this "behind the scenes" episode I explain what kind of topics I dive into with my coaching clients. The Hexagon of Freedom is an online course and hybrid coaching program for aspiring digital nomads and nomads who want to create even more freedom in their life. Because we are unpacking the "inner" backpack in this coaching program. Freedom is about creating a lifestyle first business and Human Design can be a great tool to use in this process. With a combination of 1:1 sessions, group coaching and on online course you will get the tools to start to unpack your "Inner Backpack". We dive into the elements of the Human Design system and your chart and then look at the practical application in your life and business. Because as an entrepreneur you are your business!

Why I created a coaching program for Digital Nomads

In this episode I am taking you behind the scenes about why I created my group coaching program the Hexagon of Freedom. I wished I had this program when I started my Location Independent digital nomad journey five years ago. There is real power in finding and fostering a community of like minded people who speak the same Human Design language. A community where you don't have to explain your lifestyle choices as a digital nomad with a lot of freedom in your life. If you are curious about my why to create this program and hear about my remote journey this is the episode for you. --- Additional Resources of the Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast: Doors to the Hexagon of Freedom are now open!

The Crab Basket Effect: Overcoming Resistance and an Unsupportive Environment on the path of Personal Growth ​

In this episode your host Astrid explains why your environment might not be the biggest cheerleader of your personal growth journey. Whether your are creating more freedom in your life as a digital nomad or location independent entrepreneur. Or whether you embark on a spiritual or personal growth path to create less stress in your life. Your loved ones or group of friends are perhaps not the most supportive in this case. And there is a reason for that. Safety. Or the lack of safety. This is called the crab basket effect and it's happening in the real world and your inner critic creates a virtual crab basket in your head as well. Let's dive in, shall we? In this episode Astrid mentions that to overcome this crab basket effect it is useful to surround yourself with likeminded people to feel seen and heard. And that is why she created the Travel and Work with Human Design coaching program to find community and support. --- Additional Resources of the Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast: About your host: Astrid is a Location Independent Business & Human Design Coach who helps women to create more freedom in their life.

Break the Comparison Habit

Personal development is well, personal. But one of the biggest lessons I learned when I embarked my journey to a stress free life is that I am not comparing myself to others anymore. And I would strongly advice you break with this comparison habit as well. In this episode, we delve into breaking the comparison habit and stepping into your true authentic self. Discover why Human Design is called the science of differentiation in personal development. And learn why comparing yourself to others hinders growth and holds you back. --- Additional Resources of the Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast: About your host: Astrid is a Location Independent Business & Human Design Coach who helps women to create more freedom in their life.

The Keys of Personal Development

When I work with coaching clients I ofter use the disclaimer "I will give you the keys, but it is up to you to unlock the door". And by that I mean that as a Human Design Coach I can give you the knowledge, tools, and practical exercises so you can experiment with your Human Design, but it is up to you to do the inner work. No one else can do that for you. And it may be the hardest job you ever done to unpack that inner backpack that you've been dragging with you on your journey. Whether personal development is a conscious proces because you are curious about your Human Design Chart. Or when you are embarking on a big travel adventure that will let life bump into you. Or maybe it is entrepreneurship that will bring up limiting beliefs that you want to work through. No matter the cause of your personal development adventure, in the Human Design system there is an order of unlocking the doors one by one and in this episode we dive into which doors unlocks the next door in your personal development journey. --- Additional Resources of the Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast: About your host: Astrid is a Location Independent Business & Human Design Coach who helps women to create more freedom in their life.

How to Learn to Trust the Process of Personal Development

Human Design is not a quick fix, no it is a process. It's really important to trust that process because it's so easy in this information day and age to just jump on your laptop or your phone, type into Google a question that you have and you get an immediate response and that satisfies our questions, right? But with human design, it's a lot about contemplation and it's a lot about an awareness process in a way. And to trust that process that takes bravery. It takes courage to trust something that you don't know. Are you ready to let go of the control and let life come to you? --- Additional Resources of the Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast: About your host: Astrid is a Location Independent Business & Human Design Coach who helps women to create more freedom in their life.
