be working. Taking a page out of real estate, location is extremely important to your way
of life. You may be looking for your next travel destination as a vacation/place to work.
This could also be for the purpose of moving there, as well. If so, you are going to have a
lot to go through. Plenty of decisions will need to be made on your part.
The Total Cost of Living for Digital Nomads
One of the most important factors to consider is what your budget it. This is because the
cost of living for where you are planning will need to match up. This will require you to
do some research on the area that you are planning on going to. For example,
approximately $2,000 USD per month in Costa Rica is enough to live comfortably. This
average includes rent, utilities, food, etc.
Creating a budget based on your existing clients and current expenses is an absolute must.
From there, you will be able to research what the cost of expenses generally is. For
example, rent in South America averages at 4,500 R for a one bedroom.
Deciding whether or not an area is worth traveling or moving to will be decided through

9. your estimated budget.
Needed Accommodations
Accommodation for digital nomadsMaking the needed accommodations are also critical to
success while traveling or moving to a new destination. Short-term rentals often go better
for digital nomads when done through apartments. While hostels and hotels may be easier
to book, they are more costly in the end. Saving money is sometimes a necessary
requirement.
However, if money is not an issue and you’d rather a hotel, go for it. Though, if you are
traveling or moving long-term, an apartment rental is easier and more ideal. Depending on
the duration of your stay, you can either rent by the month or sign a one-year lease. Hotels
and hostels charge daily, weekly and monthly on average.
Finding Work
Unless you work from your laptop or smart device, you will need to find work. Depending
on what type of digital nomad career you have, it can be difficult to find work for yourself.
However, there are multiple websites and platforms you can use. Listed below are just a
few of the many digital nomad job boards online:

As a digital nomad, your job options are sky high. Researching to find jobs while traveling
takes some work, but it’s definitely more than possible.
Possible Language Barrier for Travelers

10. If English is your first language or the only language you speak, you need to work with
that. You can’t move to Japan if you don’t speak Japanese, for example. In truth, you
could, but you’d struggle.
If you know there is going to be a language barrier, prepare for it. Learn as much of the
language as you can beforehand. Once you’re there, pick it up as you go and you’ll do
well.
Your Safety while Traveling
If you’re going to be traveling or moving, stay away from places with a high crime rate.
Even if you can handle yourself it’s best to avoid a problem before it can even start. Below
are 10 countries with areas you’ll probably want to avoid:Digital Nomads should avoid
these places
Venezuela
South Sudan
South Africa
Papua New Guinea
Honduras
Nigeria
Trinidad and Tobago

11. El Salvador
Brazil
Kenya
While these countries may not be all bad, a lot of the areas indeed are. Plan your move or
travels with caution!
What the Weather Will Bring
Are you interested in a hot or cold climate, or maybe one that has both? This is also
something you should greatly consider, as well. Researching the different climates that can
vary per country, region, etc will help with your decision. This could be necessary based
on a job requirement, such as photography in a certain climate.
You will also need to be wary of weather for other reasons, as well. For example,
hurricanes and tsunamis are a big problem in a lot of countries. Listed below are countries
and regions with extreme weather and natural disaster risks:
Honduras
Myanmar
Haiti
Dominica
Mozambique
Malawi
Ghana
Madagascar
Pakistan
Philippines
Japan
Bangladesh
China
Port Vila
Taipei City
New Orleans
Before considering moving or traveling to any of these places, ensure you look at the most
recent weather risk reports. They will be able to show you whether or not it’s worth it.
The Culture

12. Like the weather, the culture is also a big factor here. Research the culture for the country
you are planning on traveling or moving to. If the culture and/or laws are something you
will not be able to work with, don’t even bother.Thailand is one of the favourite countries
of digital nomads
For example, you are a female and traveling to a country that is mostly Muslim. However,
you do not want to wear a headscarf in public. This is a prime example of a culture being
not for you. Understanding and respecting a country’s culture is extremely important. If
you cannot for whatever reason, choose a different country out of respect.
Finding Cheap Long-Term Accommodation while Traveling
Earlier accommodation was touched on, but now it will be explained further in depth.
Short-term accommodation is relatively easy to figure out, whereas long-term is not.
However, you do have a couple of options to comb through in this case.
Hotels and Hostels
Finding cheap accomodation for digital nomadsTo start, booking a hostel online is
definitely possible, even if you were told otherwise. There are websites that can help you

13. to do so anywhere in the world, such as Hostelling International.
Hotels, on the other hand, are a lot easier to book. You have more than a handful of
options available to you. Expedia, Trivago, Kayak and Hotwire are just a few of the many
examples of hotel booking sites that can help you.
Couchsurfing
This typically only works if you are traveling or moving to a place where you already
know someone. Some will do it with random people, but that’s not recommended.
However, it’s all up to you either way.
Local Renting Websites and Housesitting
Unless you’ve been specifically asked to housesit or have applied and been approved, this
one is difficult. Locally renting websites are your best bet here. Long Term Lettings,
Airbnb Sublets, Wimdu, and PandaBed are all great examples of local renting websites.
You can browse by country, region, city, etc.
Craigslist
While Craigslist can be reliable for many things, finding long-term accommodation is not
one of them. You may be lucky during your search but don’t get your hopes up too much.
But sometimes it does work.
Choosing Your Travel Destinations As A Digital Nomad

14. By properly preparing for anything and everything, your trip or move will go much
smoother than you think. It’s important to do your research, budget, and always plan. Even
if it’s for the absolute worst, you’ve still got your bases covered.
Make a list out of the subheadings outlined within this article and you should have no
problem. Stay safe, have fun, and succeed as a digital nomad.

entirely, and doing HTML can be tricky. Once you’re more than confident in your ability
to make, market yourself. Always remember to learn from these jobs, too. Web design is a
very educational career.
Translations

19. Digital nomads who speak multiple languages benefit from working as an online and in-
person translator. Translators can either do work for a client in a different language or

20. translate something for them. If it’s in-person, however, they will translate conversations
for them. Digital nomads can also do the in person translation work should they choose to
do so.
Digital nomad translator salaries will vary by country. In the United States, for example,
you could make up to $60,000 per year.

yourself, gain needed experience, and market yourself. A lot of digital nomad translators
gain clients through freelancing platforms, so starting there is your best bet.

create their videos and then need someone to edit them for them. This is where video
editors come in.
The salary of a video editor can range very widely. The lowest salary on average is around
$30,000 per year, while the highest could go up to $160,000. It all depends on who you’re

website first. They are relatively easy to find, and they help you get better at it.

location. This could include data entry, booking appointments, answering emails, etc.

assistant has an average salary of approximately $16 per hour. It also depends on who you
are working for, too.

have to prove that you are reliable and will commit like any other job, but with added
dedication.

27. The Essential Gear List for Digital
Nomads
Being a digital nomad is no easy feat. In fact, the amount of gear you’re going to need
can extend to a very extensive list. It all depends on what your digital nomad career is.
Within this guide, we will go over the essential gear for digital nomads. It includes what’s
needed to complete their daily jobs for clients.
A Laptop
Having a working laptop as a digital nomad is crucial to their career, no matter what it
may be. While there are jobs that may not always need one, it’s a necessity for acquiring
clients during their travels.
Having a decent laptop, it does not need to be incredibly high-tech, will help your career
soar farther and faster than you thought possible.
A Smartphone or Smart Device
Keeping an Android or iOS phone, a tablet, or any other form of smart device is essential
for your career. For example, you are a virtual assistant digital nomad. You will need to be
able to answer calls from your client or do some necessary work on a tablet.
While unlikely, working from a smart device overall could eliminate the need for a laptop
entirely. Whether it be a smartphone or a tablet. It all depends on what your digital nomad
career choice is, however.
You can use what is called “HotSpot” through your smartphone or smart device. This
instantly gives you internet by tethering your data connection. It’s incredibly useful if you
need to get some work done, but use it only if there are no WiFi connections available
nearby.
Pocket Modem/Router

28. Much like tethering your smartphone, a pocket modem or router works by giving you the
internet from remote locations. This is perfect for a digital nomad who does not have a
smartphone with Hot Spot capabilities as a replacement. They cost a pretty penny usually,
but they are more than worth the investment.
Headphones
Headphones are an obvious choice for a digital nomad. For example, say you are a
professional video editor and need to work. Although, you’re on a plane or a train ride but
do not want to disturb those around you. This is where the need for headphones comes in.
Having headphones is an essential piece of gear for digital nomads no matter what your
career choice may be. Especially if you need to tune out everything around you to focus
on your work more.
External Hard Drive
Having an external hard drive is crucial to some digital nomad careers. For example, you
are a freelance writer who has run out of space on your laptop. You cannot transfer any
files, leaving you with the only option of having to delete needed files. What do you do if
a client asks for one of the files you deleted? If you did not store it elsewhere, that data is
gone, and maybe the client, too.
This is where an external hard drive comes in. They are incredibly important to have when
you are on the road. Having one could save you and your job. Having a drive where you
can backup and store files in case something should happen to your laptop is critical.
Make sure you have one on hand at all times and back your drives up.
Universal Power Adapter
Having one of these could also save you, as well. Digital nomads travel to some of the
most random countries on the planet. This means you are going to need to be prepared for
anything. This includes the varieties of power supply outlets you are going to find, too.
For example, say you want to plug your laptop in, but the outlet has a different design.
Your charger does not have this design, so what do you do? Having a universal power
adapter eliminates this problem entirely.

29. USB Battery Pack
USB battery packs are life savers when it comes to digital nomad careers. Say you forgot
your charger at your hotel and cannot go back to get it. What do you do now? You have a
deadline coming up but cannot work. This is where as USB battery pack comes in.
They act as an external power source that brings life back to your device. If your laptop
charger is not on hand, a USB battery pack works just as well. It could save your career or
a client.

30. eBook Readers
While eBook Readers, such as Kindles, are typically good for reading, one with a camera
can help in other ways. For example, if you are taking basic photographs for a client of an
area you are traveling in, this will help. It will ensure that you don’t need to splurge on a
professional camera unless you have to.
You can also take an iPad if you like.
Professional Camera
If your job requires you to take professional photographs, you are going to need a
professional camera. For example, some digital nomads work for clients to take photos in
their name. They travel and take pictures of whatever their customer needs and then
relinquish their name to them. This is what’s known as “ghost photography.”
Portable Monitors
For those who need a more professional, thorough setup, a portable monitor will be
required. This type of screen can be taken anywhere with you and connected to a port in
your laptop. From there you can work on dual screens and get a lot more done.
This is not required of all digital nomads, however. Only those who feel that they need to
have a portable monitor as an extension will do so. Portable monitors are incredibly easy
to find and relatively cheap. Some of them are specifically for travel but take some time to
find. No doubt they have to be extra durable when compared to regular monitors.
Laptop Stands/Tables
For those who want to work comfortably, a laptop stand or table is perfect. You just place
it on your lap and put your laptop on top. It works as a primary table that is great for your
posture and overall comfort levels. Laptop stands and tables are perfect for traveling,
especially when you have limited space.
A lot of digital nomads use one of these when on a plane or a train for comfort. Otherwise,
they can be utilized anywhere and however; you’d like. This is an essential for most

31. digital nomads who are working abroad with a laptop in general.
Wireless Keyboard
If you are working on a laptop, then you do not need this, but some digital nomads prefer
something else. A lot of digital nomads prefer to work from a tablet or iPad. However, the
lack of a keyboard can be frustrating. This is where a wireless keyboard comes in. They
can use it whenever they like. In this case, a wireless mouse is also a good idea, as well.
Other Essential Gear for Digital Nomads
Having the right equipment for the right career is crucial as a digital nomad. If you don’t
have what you need, how do you expect to keep your clients and make money? Knowing
exactly what you need is vital. Even if you have a couple of extras with you, such as a
laptop table, it goes a very long way.
As a digital nomad, it’s critical to keep your gear in good condition. Should something
break, you will need to replace it straight away. While being a digital nomad may not be
cheap at the start, it pays off.

32. Top Online Business Ideas for Beginners
which are Easy and Highly Profitable
Digital nomads have endless choices when it comes to choosing a business for
themselves. Because the lifestyle is such a lenient and on a “whenever I want” basis, the
careers are typically the same. Some of these are already very popular with digital
nomads, while the rest are quickly gaining popular ground. One thing is for sure, though,
variety is the spice of a digital nomad’s life.
Most of the online business ideas in this list can be started from home and are aimed at
beginners.
Writing Novels
Writing a book has very few restrictions. You could choose to go with fiction, nonfiction,
and whatever floats your boat. Writing novels is one of the most popular businesses that
digital nomads decide to do. You can work on it, or them if there’s more than one,
wherever and whenever.
If you write and release even one novel that becomes a best seller, you may not need to
work again. In truth, earning through writing books can be pretty difficult. However, the
average author who has decent sales can make up to $60,000 annually.

33. All you need is a creative idea, a good editor, a publishing company, and even an agent.
Having an agent is entirely up to you, but it will help push your career further.
Blogging
These days blogging is a huge market, especially because it’s not just writing anymore.
All you need is your website that can be created through GoDaddy, WordPress, etc. Or,
you could always freelance and write blogs for paying clients.
The earnings can be very low or incredibly high depending on what you do. For example,
affiliate programs can offer up to commissions from sales up to 75%. This usually entails
having a product link somewhere on your website. Once someone clicks it and makes a
purchase, you make a percentage from that purchase.
The following is a list of the most popular affiliate programs for bloggers:
Amazon Associates
eBay
ShareaSale
Clickbank

34. Neverblue.com
Commission Junction
Maxbounty
LinkShare
If you choose to go through an affiliate program, you will need to have your website. You
will also need to generate written content such as articles, too.
Dropshipping
Dropshipping should not be confused with retail. A digital nomad drop shipper is a model
of fulfillment. You purchase the products wanted by a customer. However, instead of
doing it straight from the manufacturer, you go through a wholesaler. Dropshippers team
up with a drop shipping supplier. From there, their merchandise is then listed for sale.
The profits you make all depend on who you’re working with because it’s all commission.
For example, expensive electronics and technology will bring a lower percentage.
Clothing, shoes, and accessories bring a much higher rate. The average earning margin
usually sits around 20% regardless.
Like blogging, you will need your website for this. You will also need to find a supplier
that offers drop shipping. From there you will need to set your website up and market it.
Social media is great for marketing in this area.
Dropshipping is one of the safest online selling business ideas that require a very low
upfront cost.
E-Commerce

35. E-commerce is a fancy word for an online store. If you write books, make crafts, or have
something that you’d like to sell, e-commerce is definitely for you. Amazon, for example,
is the most famous and largest example of e-commerce.
Earnings cannot be pinpointed because you are in charge of that completely. You list your
items, make your prices, etc. However, e-commerce could also be paired with
dropshipping. Therefore, you have options.
There are platforms you can use to set up a smaller personal e-commerce. For example,
selling old clothes, you no longer want, which Depop is ideal for. Shopify is also another
great example.
Unlike Dropshipping, e-commerce can be considered online retail business and there are
tons of ideas for getting started.
Mobile and Web Apps

36. The easiest way to create an application is to go through an app builder. You could do it on
your own if you have the proper skills, as well. Ibuildapp.com, for example, is a great
application builder. App building is practically the same process no matter how you do it,
though.
You’ll need specific software and a general template. From there you will need to edit,
which could include the following:
Uploading a logo
Designing graphics
Adding pictures and videos, optional
Audio, if you want any
The ability to link social media accounts, also optional
The best way to make a significant salary through app developing is by doing it for
businesses. You could reach an average wage of up to $70,000 annually. You could make
even more by working for multiple larger firms.
