The Digital Nomad’s Office
Digital Nomad’s At The Office
| advert | Stay Free as a House Sitter. The Win Win for Pet Loving Remote Workers
Though they put a lot of effort and angst into escaping their cubicles, digital nomads and travel bloggers still need a work space to call their own.
Without a boss to make the decision for them, these itinerant workers have all of the wifi enabled world to choose from. Hostel rooms, bar tables, sun loungers and hammocks are all press ganged into service in their efforts to get their words and photos to you.
Before our last trip I planned to take a picture of each of our ‘offices’ but in the end didn’t take a single one. Easily distracted by conversation, screen glare, shiny things and wasps, I prefer to work inside but other digital nomads and travel bloggers are more appreciative of their surrounds.
As these pictures show, most bloggers demonstrate a preference for working in the sunny outdoors, with a cracking view and within shouting range of a cold one.

Nomad Resources
Ready to start your digitally nomadic life? We've saved hundreds of dollars moving money around by using Wise. We save even more in ATM fees by combining Wise with a local bank account. Use this link and Wise will give you a free money transfer up to £500.
If we weren't house plant murderers we would do a bit more house sitting. It really is a great way for digital nomads to save on accommodation expenses AND get a comfortable environment in which to work. Americans may prefer to join here.
We will be using SafetyWing when we start travelling again. Their policies are aimed at nomads like you and us and both their travel and health insurance include cover for Covid19 so we can spend as much time abroad as we please.
Running our website was such a chore with our last host. It is so much easier updating our site now we have made the switch to A2 Hosting.

AdventureRob said: “Nice set of pictures! I can never get used to working outside though, I always want to shut the laptop and do the nomad stuff, rather than the digital stuff.”
– we replied: “I think Johnny Vagabond’s set up suits me best. A nice view but inside and away from distraction.”
Ash said: “I love this! Literally just got my apartment in Chiang Mai, Thailand confirmed so this is me for the next 2 months! yew!”
– we replied: “Congratulations on the apartment. You’ll be in good company in Chiang Mai – I’m astonished we didn’t get a photo from there.”
