The purists insist that to become a Digital Nomad you need to be homeless. As well as footloose, the itinerant Tourist.
But they are missing the key to it all?
It is more about choice. It is about freedoms.
The freedom to choose. To make choices. Freedom from being bound by the conventional constraints that strip one of an identity and the opportunity to choose the life we live.
The freedom to become a stay at home parent or one of those who are tucked away in the corner of a coffee shop , talking earnestly into an empty cup. One of those who does things differently and defies the norms.
It is really not necessary to live out of a suitcase to become a Digital Nomad.
This is about choices and doing things differently. Besides which backpacking never was everything it is cracked up to be.
