I've been trying to design my lifestyle around being a "Digital Nomad" over the last few years. I already travel extensively for pleasure but the idea of working from far away places in the world is becoming highly possible and popular. I recently tried this during a trip to Bali (Indonesia) and it worked out just fine, although i am based out of Denver, CO.
The idea is to cut back on material stuff (furniture, lease, junk) that anchors you to a single city and develop a mobile lifestyle and a a profession that allows you to live and work remotely from anywhere in the world and make a living well (above $150k per year).
I realize there's not many jobs out there but in the new economy it seems more and more people are able to do this with an internet based business model or with a corporate job that allows you to work remotely, or a combination of both!
Ultimately, the idea is to travel the world, perhaps a few months in each target city - experience the culture, game, make friends and move to the next one - while also having a anchor/base city (to visit your family etc every now and then and recharge/regroup).
So if everyone on this forum could (hypothetically) was able to be a "digital nomad" which cities/countries would you live and work from in order of priority. My present list is below
May/June 2015 - Atlanta
July 2015 - Nashvillle
Aug/Sept 2015 - Chicago
Oct/Nov/Dec 2015 - Miami (With trips to Vegas in between)
Jan/Feb 2016 - Medelllin, Bogota, Baranquilla
March/April/May 2016 - California (San Diego, OC)
June/July/August 2016 - NYC
September/October 2016 -Montreal
Note: The idea is not to slum it out in hostels or private rooms etc but to live decently well in furnished sublet type apartments or air bnb cribs (whole apartments) or something nice and close to all the local action.
Looking forward to your constructive criticism and feedback!
