Who are the digital nomads?


In short, digital nomads are people who have turned the whole world into their office. These are people who rejected office work, and work from 9 to 5, and opted for the freelance option. These are people who do not have paid seniority (unless they pay it themselves), nor can they count on a pension. But that's why they point out that they do what they like on their own terms. As if they can do it all from a paradise beach, a boho bar on top of a skyscraper or a mountain lookout.

Most digital nomads come from the IT industry, graphic and web design, social media editing and content writing.

At the moment there is no legal way to be permanently employed in a company, and to perform the job from another country. The only legal way is to work for a local employer. However, if you are a freelance digital nomad, some destinations are better than others for the base. Both because of a good Wi-Fi network  and because of affordable rentals, infrastructure and other similar items. Here are some!

Nomad List, one of the world fastest growing platforms for digital nomads around the world,  has surveyed numerous "digital nomads" to make a list of the best places for these people.

The platform conducted a survey at 100 recommended locations, evaluating destinations on everything from the cost of living, quality of life and internet infrastructure, to safety, healthcare, air pollution and entertainment.

Rental rates, hotel costs, the price of the average dinner and kindness to foreigners were among the factors that were taken into account when making the ranking list.

According to the results, Cusco in Peru is the city best equipped for digital nomads after the pandemic, with affordable accommodation, plenty of room for collaboration and a good Wi-Fi internet network. The study found that the average rent for a studio apartment here is $ 900 per month. This city received the only "bad" grade in traffic safety.
