It’s important to find work to sustain our digital nomad adventures. But, with the frenzied way of living that follows being a digital nomad, it’s often hard to find such work at the places we visit.
But there is always a workaround to that problem—it’s called remote work. Many companies—such as Google and Amazon—and employers from around the world post listings on remote worksites these days. In fact, there are millions of listings for remote jobs if you look them up. Our source for these listings is We Work Remotely.
Wherever you log in online as a remote worker, we advise having a VPN for safe surfing!
Why work remotely?
There are certain advantages of working remotely as compared to the usual way of working, even if you aren’t a digital nomad like us.
-
Flexibility: It goes without saying that the key advantage of working remotely is the flexibility that it offers. You choose the work hours and get those done within your comfort zone.
-
Increased productivity: Another reason to choose remote work is increased productivity. We all know the struggle early in the morning when we have to get out of bed and commute to work. It’s pretty easy to get your productivity up and about with all of that out of the way.
-
Work-Life balance: It’s quite difficult to maintain a work-life balance with a typical job's hectic schedule. With remote work, you can fit in workouts into your work hours (or the other way around, if you’re a fitness freak), and no rushing to the grocery store or to make it to a train/bus, either!
