I could ... but for some weird reason I'm still sitting in my hometown.

I occasionally do trips but I'm not traveling the world, maybe next year I'll spend some time in other countries.

"Digital nomad" is far from the only lifestyle enabled by remote work. Another example (which strongly appeals to me) is being able to move somewhere you can afford enough agricultural land to get a smallholding off the ground.

I image that will translate into less, rather than more, long-haul travel. But definitely tempting should the right opportunity arise.

Would you then keep the land and move permanently to that location, or would you just sell it after a few years?

For me, ideally permanent. I'd like to get the chance to know one place, really really well.

Same here...I've done a month at a time traveling (in February I went to Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia), but most of the time I'm in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. The limiting factor is my wife's job and my daughter's school.

I don't like to be on the run all the time, a nice homebase with regular travels is just fine for me, I guess you could do the same, even with your fam.

That's kind of the same situation I'm in. I have a developer job where I think it would be very possible to travel and work remotely. It seems like such a nice way to experience the world without going bankrupt.

Totally and it's also cheaper in the long run.

I don't know if you are aware of this group on reddit.com/r/digitalnomad but there are lots of info about people who 'did it'.

I was not aware, thanks!
