Reasons to Become a Digital Nomad
As tough times present themselves again, becoming a digital nomad can be a way to survive and avoid homelessness.
This type of travel and work is not child-friendly. In addition, you must be healthy and fit to take advantage of the opportunities.
I returned to being a digital nomad at age 70, using pet sitting to find accommodations in desirable locations at no cost. I also want to travel while I am still healthy enough.
