Overview
If you work in IT, you're particularly prone to nomadism. In this article, I'll try to introduce you to today's nomads. We'll interview a few representatives at the end.

Digital nomads are people who are not tied to a place through remote work and are constantly moving as a consequence. With a laptop on your lap, you can be by the sea in Goa one day, at a table in a London coffee shop the next, on the veranda next to the barn of the Hungarian shepherd Gustav the day after. Citizen Remote did research on the salaries of digital nomads. Be sure to study it, it's very interesting.
One of the first to take a job on the road was Steve Roberts in 1983, almost simultaneously with the launch of the Motosat satellite network that made the Internet more mobile. While moving around the U.S. on a recumbent bicycle, he continued to make money writing magazine articles.
If there are any Nabokov readers here, you'll remember that in the novel Lolita (1953), the characters travel around America for more than a year. That said, there is a hint in the book that the protagonist does not stop writing all that time, which is what he lives on. We can assume that digital nomads were preceded by analog (postal) nomads.
Nomad or traveler?
I have to say that nomadism is very similar to frequent travel. The only difference is that the traveler has a permanent place of residence where he always returns eventually, and the journey is perceived as a change of circumstances. For a nomad, however, moving from one place to another is simply "everyday life," and home is where you are right now.
Nomads can also stay in a new location for a long time (several months), organize trips without travel agencies, and (probably the most important difference) take everything they have with them.
