Nomads from the Past

Firstly, let’s make a flashback in the past. Those who used to be called nomads were a group of people (community) that didn’t have their residence. They used to travel from place to place with all their belongings, families and even castles. In the ancient history, we may read a lot about nomadic tribes that walked thousands of miles until they finally found a place to call Motherland. On the other hand, there are still some of them travelling as family tribes even in the twenty first century, such as Gypsies for example.

Digital Nomads? Who Are They?

Nowadays, the word “nomad” has one more meaning – a digital nomad. So, what is the difference? Digital nomad it is a person that has a remote work and travels around the world. Digital nomads work online with the help of their laptops. They may work for big or small companies or run their own business. They also work as freelancers. More and more people are now working and living from everywhere they want. People always wanted to change the way they work and live.
