What is a Digital Nomad?
A digital nomad is somebody who is nomadic – ie. they travel and live all over the world. They are location independent in that they are not tied to one place by work, school, posessions, pets, car loans, friends or family.

I have never, in the 9-year history of this website, posted income reports. I find it uncomfortable to talk about money. I’m British, of course I do.
