If you watched the Oscars this year - and admittedly that seems unlikely - you might have noticed that a film called Nomadland won the best picture. The film was about a woman escaping her life and traveling around while finding work at the same time. It was painted as a romantic concept and perhaps it is. It’s also completely accessible. You just need to make sure that you are approaching this change to your life the right way.
Decide On The Countries That You Want To Visit
First, you need to think about where you want to go. If you are planning on staying in your home country, then becoming a nomad isn’t difficult or complicated at all. It’s actually remarkably easy to do. If you, however, want to go abroad then there are a few more hurdles to jump. You need to make sure that you understand the legal requirements and rights that different countries will provide. The easiest way to do this is by speaking to an immigration solicitor. They’ll straighten everything out for you and ensure that you know exactly what your rights are.
Sort Out Your Assets At Home
Next, you need to make sure that you look at what you’re leaving behind. It’s possible that you already own a home and while this might make becoming a digital nomad more challenging, it’s certainly not impossible. We recommend that you think about either selling your home or you look at what it takes to become a landlord. If you are going to be in a different country then you will need to hire a property manager to ensure that everything continues to run smoothly for you.
Explore Career Options That Are Suitable For You
You can then start to explore the career and job options that are available to you. As the name suggests, there are lots of jobs that you can complete online while you are traveling. For instance, you could work as a content writer. Content writers are always in high demand because there are countless websites that need content. If you are interested in writing for a living, then you just need to make sure that you have a quality laptop. You should also explore freelance platforming sites.
Build Up Your Savings
Finally, even if you do find a career that is going to suit this type of lifestyle - and there are quite a few options worth exploring - you should also be looking at building up your savings. This will provide you with an extra cushion of cash that you can easily fall back on when you need to. The right amount of savings will mean that you won’t have to worry about being left with nothing at any point during your travels.
We hope this helps you understand all the steps that you need to consider to become a real digital nomad. Some people find this type of lifestyle far more invigorating and freeing compared with a typical office job where you’re stuck in the same place all the time.
