Top-3 Challenges of Digital Nomad lifestyle
I’ve been living my digital nomad lifestyle for long enough now to pick my Top-3 challenges I faced:
🧐 Adjustment to different time zones
I worked US hours and being in Europe and especially SE Asia was a tough adjustment to get used to! Starting my workday between 5pm and 11pm 😱, depending on the location, being a morning person, took time and will power 🤌. Willing to do so and the ability to adjust your body and mind should definitely be on your consideration list if you are thinking of doing it!
🧐 Constant routine change
If you are a creature of habit, it may be harder on you. Digital nomad lifestyle assumes relatively frequent change of places 💯. You have to be able to adjust quickly and fairly easily, be flexible and not hung up on just “one way”.
🧐 Minimalism in everything
If you do it the way I do, you’ll probably have just 1 piece of luggage and a backpack!👀 Needless to say, there’s no room 💩 for 5 pairs of shoes, 10 variations for every piece of clothing, accessories for different occasions, an entire bag of personal care items, etc. And I’m not even talking about your favorite hobby items, paper books, and other endless “nice to have” things that you are used to having that now you can’t imagine your life without them.
🧡 Being a digital nomad for sure changes you, inside and out, opens up your mind, adjusts your thinking, lets you explore this beautiful planet. But as any other lifestyle, has its own limitations and challenges that are important to consider.
