I tried digital nomading for a bit. It turns out it's more about drinking and surfing rather than doing anything productive. It was fun for a few months but I have no idea how people can maintain that lifestyle of basically being a 24/7 tourist and trying to get a few hours of work in while hungover.
It's only really a viable option if you're young and don't really care about your work (or are rich).

Did people realize this sucks? Sucks a lot
It's one thing to be a tourist, another to not have a place where you can adult properly
Even crazier are the "van life" people. It really sucks having no place to call home.
The media keeps inventing new terms/problems every few months about work culture … that inevitably lead to going back to the office. The main anecdotal story is about someone who became a digital nomad who found it difficult to keep up productivity in her business … a travel blog. Travelling and writing about it is literally her business.
The BBC neglected to include this statistic from the report they referenced.
“Digital Nomads Among the Most Satisfied with their Work and Income Consistent with prior years, digital nomads are among the workers most satisfied with their work and lifestyle.”
