#2Did people realize this sucks? Sucks a lot
It's one thing to be a tourist, another to not have a place where you can adult properly
Even crazier are the "van life" people. It really sucks having no place to call home.

I always saw "van life" people as trying to make the best of a challenging financial situation while still pursuing as much autonomy as they can.

This is just because of the what people are expecting from an "adult".
What is adulting properly? Why is crazy to have a different way of life?

Working at a place meant for living, like the beach teaches you quickly that you should be looking at the beach and collecting dust
This is further accelerated once you know how unrealistic the keeping the sand, brightness, humidity, heat out of your equipment and chasing dodgy internet connections makes something’s much harder.
I got to travel like this a bit long before it was called digital nomading . All I remember is the naps I got to take on some of those beaches

#6The media keeps inventing new terms/problems every few months about work culture … that inevitably lead to going back to the office.
The main anecdotal story is about someone who became a digital nomad who found it difficult to keep up productivity in her business … a travel blog. Travelling and writing about it is literally her business.
The BBC neglected to include this statistic from the report they referenced.
“Digital Nomads Among the Most Satisfied with their Work and Income Consistent with prior years, digital nomads are among the workers most satisfied with their work and lifestyle.”

Username checks out. I wonder what "adult properly" is, in your mind, and why alternatives are rejected.

Interestingly, the most visible to me in that community are the exact opposite. They’re financially stable and can afford taking a hit to their primary job come.

Nothing about other people expectations, but not having to worry about where you're going next, or how to get mail or do things that take longer than a couple of days, etc
