摘要

TLDRI videoen diskuteres fordelene og ulemper ved å være en digital nomade, basert på erfaringene til et par som har levd på denne måten i over et år. De fremhever friheten ved å kunne reise, oppleve nye kulturer og leve økonomisk gunstig mens de jobber eksternt. Samtidig peker de på utfordringer som avstand fra venner og familie, konstant reiseplanlegging, og vanskeligheter med å etablere rutiner. Etter 18 måneder bestemte de seg for å returnere til København for å ha en fast base nær sine kjære, men de ønsker fortsatt å opprettholde reiselysten fra denne basen. De oppfordrer de som vurderer denne livsstilen til å ha realistiske forventninger og være forberedt på både det gode og det krevende ved å være en digital nomade.

    En digital nomadetilværelse kan virke som en drøm, med muligheten til å bo i fantastiske land, jobbe et par timer her og der, og utforske nye steder. Men hvorfor stoppet vi, etter over ett år, og flyttet tilbake til København? Vi begynte som frilansere innen foto og sosiale medier, og ønsket friheten til å jobbe for oss selv. Danmarks høye levekostnader gjorde det vanskelig å leve av frilansen, noe som førte til vår nomadelivsstil: tjene i en sterk valuta mens vi reiste. Planlagt i seks måneder, men forlenget til 18 måneder, ble det en livsstil med fordeler som rimeligere levekostnader og reising, men også ulemper som savnet av familie og venner, og det å miste evnen til å bli imponert av nye opplevelser. Selv om vi likte nomadelivet, var det tid for en ny fase. For oss er det viktigste å ha friheten til å velge hvordan vi vil leve våre liv. Er det verdt det å bli digital nomade? Det er et personlig spørsmål, men for å finne det ut, må du prøve.

    being a digital Nomad can look like a
  • 00:00:02
    dream
  • 00:00:04
    you can live in any amazing country that
  • 00:00:07
    you want work a few hours here or there
  • 00:00:09
    maybe even by the beach explore amazing
  • 00:00:12
    places and cultures and then move on to
  • 00:00:15
    a new country whenever you want
  • 00:00:17
    my girlfriend Sally and I did just that
  • 00:00:20
    for over a year so why did we stop and
  • 00:00:24
    move back home to Copenhagen in Denmark
  • 00:00:26
    let's talk about it
  • 00:00:28
    [Music]
  • 00:00:31
    so we actually kind of stumbled into
  • 00:00:34
    being digital Nomads before going
  • 00:00:36
    nomadic I started doing freelance photo
  • 00:00:39
    and video gigs and Sally my girlfriend
  • 00:00:42
    was doing freelance social media
  • 00:00:44
    marketing jobs and well we both did this
  • 00:00:46
    as kind of side hustles alongside our
  • 00:00:49
    studies and our real jobs but we were
  • 00:00:52
    kind of reaching a point where we
  • 00:00:53
    realized that working these nine to
  • 00:00:55
    fives that we were studying for just
  • 00:00:58
    wasn't for us we wanted to go all in
  • 00:01:00
    with our businesses and just have more
  • 00:01:02
    well freedom in our lives and not be
  • 00:01:04
    stuck working nine to five for someone
  • 00:01:06
    else and we kind of wanted that to
  • 00:01:09
    happen as soon as possible but we
  • 00:01:10
    weren't making enough money at the time
  • 00:01:12
    to go full time while still living in
  • 00:01:15
    Denmark because Denmark is one of the
  • 00:01:17
    countries that has the highest cost of
  • 00:01:20
    living in the world so my genius idea
  • 00:01:22
    was that we could just go traveling
  • 00:01:25
    and kind of Leverage that we were
  • 00:01:27
    getting paid in a strong currency where
  • 00:01:29
    most of our clients are from Denmark so
  • 00:01:31
    would pay in Danish krona and so that's
  • 00:01:34
    just what we did and voila I guess we
  • 00:01:37
    were now digital nomads
  • 00:01:44
    and at first we had kind of planned to
  • 00:01:45
    do this for around six months so we had
  • 00:01:48
    rented out our apartment for six months
  • 00:01:50
    but we actually ended up doing it for I
  • 00:01:52
    think 18 months before now moving back
  • 00:01:55
    home to Copenhagen where we are right
  • 00:01:57
    now so I mean obviously we like being
  • 00:02:00
    digital Nomads as we kind of extended
  • 00:02:02
    our original plan with an extra year but
  • 00:02:06
    if it's so amazing being digital Nomads
  • 00:02:08
    why I'd not just continue and just
  • 00:02:10
    continue that lifetime I think being a
  • 00:02:12
    digital Nomad is kind of a very
  • 00:02:13
    particular lifestyle and I guess every
  • 00:02:15
    type of lifestyle has its pros and cons
  • 00:02:18
    and for us some of the pros were that we
  • 00:02:21
    would be able to live comfortably for a
  • 00:02:24
    lot less than we would be able to here
  • 00:02:26
    in in Denmark we were able to travel a
  • 00:02:28
    lot so you usually we would stay in kind
  • 00:02:31
    of one place for a long time maybe or
  • 00:02:33
    maybe a month or a few months so we
  • 00:02:36
    could have some kind of a home base in
  • 00:02:39
    the in the area and then kind of travel
  • 00:02:40
    from there and have a be staying a place
  • 00:02:43
    that had decent Wi-Fi and good basic
  • 00:02:46
    amenities I guess and over these 18
  • 00:02:48
    months we've just made some insane
  • 00:02:50
    memories that we're just gonna keep with
  • 00:02:52
    us forever then some of the cons for us
  • 00:02:54
    though is obviously not seeing our
  • 00:02:58
    family and friends and that's probably
  • 00:03:00
    the biggest con of this lifestyle that
  • 00:03:02
    you I mean you're oftentimes are on the
  • 00:03:05
    other side of the world so we would go
  • 00:03:07
    long periods of time without seeing our
  • 00:03:09
    family our friends we would miss big
  • 00:03:11
    dates birthdays weddings you name it and
  • 00:03:14
    that sucks it's also actually just a lot
  • 00:03:17
    of work I mean we spent so much time
  • 00:03:19
    kind of doing research on places booking
  • 00:03:22
    flights booking hotels just travel
  • 00:03:25
    planning and
  • 00:03:26
    the traveling itself getting from one
  • 00:03:28
    place to another getting settled
  • 00:03:30
    learning where everything is in this new
  • 00:03:32
    place and it's just kind of
  • 00:03:35
    it takes a long time and it's also can
  • 00:03:37
    be like quite taxing I guess kind of you
  • 00:03:39
    have to start over all the time you get
  • 00:03:42
    to to a new place a new location it can
  • 00:03:44
    also be quite hard to actually maintain
  • 00:03:46
    good routines of course it's always a
  • 00:03:49
    choice I guess but it's a lot easier for
  • 00:03:52
    us to keep good habits and routines if
  • 00:03:54
    we are in an environment that's kind of
  • 00:03:56
    set up for us to do just that I also
  • 00:03:59
    think that we got towards the end at
  • 00:04:00
    least a little bit experience numb if
  • 00:04:03
    you can call it that because we were
  • 00:04:04
    doing so many amazing things and seeing
  • 00:04:06
    incredible places like all the time it
  • 00:04:09
    would just become the norm we wouldn't
  • 00:04:10
    be that amazed when we would go to an
  • 00:04:13
    incredible waterfall or stay in an
  • 00:04:16
    incredible Villa or something because
  • 00:04:18
    now there's this was just the norm for
  • 00:04:20
    us and I don't like that very much I
  • 00:04:22
    like you know kind of being amazed when
  • 00:04:24
    arriving to to a new place
  • 00:04:27
    [Music]
  • 00:04:30
    so I don't think I can say if being a
  • 00:04:32
    digital Nomad is good or bad
  • 00:04:35
    for us now it's just a time for the next
  • 00:04:37
    phase so we loved the time we were spent
  • 00:04:40
    as being digital Nomads but now we're
  • 00:04:42
    also really ready to just move on and to
  • 00:04:45
    this next chapter or phase where we are
  • 00:04:48
    staying here in Copenhagen having this
  • 00:04:50
    as a real home base close to our friends
  • 00:04:52
    and family and then being able to travel
  • 00:04:54
    as much as possible from here because in
  • 00:04:57
    the end I think for us what's most
  • 00:04:58
    important is that freedom to choose how
  • 00:05:00
    we live our lives so is it really worth
  • 00:05:03
    becoming a digital Nomad and I think
  • 00:05:05
    that's a very personal question
  • 00:05:08
    that only you can answer
  • 00:05:10
    but you will never know if you don't try
  • 00:05:12
    it being a digital Nomad is probably not
  • 00:05:14
    as glamorous as
  • 00:05:16
    it can seem when looking around online
  • 00:05:18
    but I think we went into it with pretty
  • 00:05:21
    realistic expectations just kind of
  • 00:05:23
    knowing what we wanted to get out of it
  • 00:05:25
    and what we wanted to do which is why I
  • 00:05:28
    think we were not like underwhelmed and
  • 00:05:30
    think we kind of knew what we were
  • 00:05:31
    getting ourselves into and we also did a
  • 00:05:33
    lot of research beforehand and just to
  • 00:05:35
    figure out like what we could expect I
  • 00:05:37
    guess because honestly most days we
  • 00:05:39
    would just be sitting at home in front
  • 00:05:41
    of our computer working but
  • 00:05:43
    at the same time if we wanted to we
  • 00:05:46
    could go on an early morning ride to the
  • 00:05:49
    nearest waterfall or a beach before
  • 00:05:52
    coming back and starting our work day we
  • 00:05:54
    could go out eating every day which is
  • 00:05:56
    not something we do here in Denmark
  • 00:05:58
    because it's just too expensive and we
  • 00:06:00
    would like quite often take it full day
  • 00:06:02
    off or several days off and just go on
  • 00:06:04
    some really epic adventure I think
  • 00:06:06
    that's the part that has really made it
  • 00:06:08
    worth it for us is all the adventures
  • 00:06:10
    and everything we have experienced while
  • 00:06:12
    being digital Nomads so how about you
  • 00:06:14
    could you ever see yourself becoming a
  • 00:06:16
    digital no match let me know down in the
  • 00:06:18
    comments and I will see you in the next
  • 00:06:21
    one
