Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is a Digital Nomad?
A digital nomad is someone who works remotely while traveling — using technology to do their job from anywhere in the world. Instead of being tied to an office, they move between countries, cities, or coliving spaces while staying connected to their work online.
It’s a lifestyle built on freedom, flexibility, and a strong WiFi signal.
Why Does the Term Matter for Remote Workers or Travelers?
The digital nomad lifestyle has redefined what “going to work” looks like. It’s a major shift in how people live and earn a living — allowing them to explore new places while maintaining a career. Whether you're freelancing, working a remote job, or running your own business, the digital nomad label helps people connect with others who live the same way.
It’s also become a growing global movement, complete with its own communities, visas, tools, and challenges.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Digital Nomads?
Digital nomads are the heartbeat of the Nomadico community. Every one of our coliving homes is built with nomads in mind — offering fast internet, flexible stays, comfortable workspaces, and (most importantly) a community of like-minded people.
We choose locations that support the lifestyle, with a mix of nature, culture, and good work-life rhythm — and our community managers help guests settle in fast so they can focus on both work and adventure.
Common Misconceptions About Digital Nomads
“It’s just a long vacation.”
Far from it. Most digital nomads are working full-time jobs or running businesses while managing time zones and deadlines.
“You have to travel constantly to be one.”
Many nomads move slowly — staying in one place for weeks or months at a time to build routine and community.
“It’s only for tech workers or influencers.”
While common in those fields, digital nomads span all sorts of industries — from teaching to design to customer support.
