Digital Nomads, Nomading, remote working

  • I've read the other thread's on moving out of London, figuring out life and breaking free from professional life but this seems to be a more recent trend and perhaps working through COVID will shift how companies view this.

    There is an increasing number of countries offering nomad visas, is there now more opportunity for a professional life without being tied to a country, let alone a city?

    Is anyone else having the same thoughts or is doing this right now?

    It's a daunting idea, having been at the same company for 10 years, am feeling a little pigeon holed and not very specialized but I think we need a little fear to live a little?!

  • I’m giving this thread a bump.

    I’m currently cycle touring, I’ve been away for 7 months now. I’m looking to earn some money as I go, so that I don’t have to stop and work to carry on my travels.

    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    I’ve thought about remote customer service jobs. I don’t have any experience of remote work.

    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

  • I’m currently away cycle touring and enjoying it and would like to be able to work and continue at some point - not this point, I’m heading back to the uk on Friday but in the future. I’ve met 2 other cyclists on this trip who both teach English online and had good things to say about it. One of them was also a professional gambler. Lots of options! In terms of visas - one of them was based in south east Asia and hopped between Thailand/Laos/Vietnam/Cambodia/Indonesia/Malaysia. The other I think had uk/Thai dual nationality so a bit easier

  • Thank you.
    I’ll look into teaching online, that’s a great suggestion.

    Are you touring in South East Asia? I’m currently in Vietnam.

  • Yes, just had a month in north Thailand riding the Mae Hong son loop and the Lanna kingdom bikepacking route. It’s nice but stupidly hilly! Can highly recommend Laos if you haven’t been already.

  • That sounds fantastic.
    We’re heading towards Laos, I’ve heard it’s good.
    If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear about it. Perhaps drop me a PM to save derailing this thread too much.
