Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is a Slowmad?
A slowmad is a digital nomad who travels slowly — staying in one place for weeks or even months at a time instead of hopping from city to city. The goal is deeper connections, less burnout, and a more sustainable rhythm of work and travel.
Think slow travel meets remote work.
Why Does the Term Matter for Remote Workers or Travelers?
The slowmad approach is a response to the challenges of constant movement — like travel fatigue, loneliness, and disrupted routines. By slowing down, remote workers can build real community, discover local culture more fully, and stay productive without feeling rushed.
It’s become an increasingly popular path for seasoned nomads who want more meaning and less motion.
How Does Nomadico Relate to Slowmads?
Nomadico is a natural fit for slowmads. Our average guest stay is around three weeks, and we welcome guests starting from one week. We intentionally choose locations that are great for settling in — not just passing through — and we offer flexible booking options that make longer stays feel easy and rewarding.
Our community-centered homes help slowmads quickly find their groove, meet others, and feel at home — whether they’re staying a few weeks or a few months.
Common Misconceptions About Slowmads
“Slow travel means less adventure.”
Actually, it often leads to more — with time to explore hidden gems and build deeper relationships.
“It’s just being lazy.”
Slowmads still work hard — they just prioritize balance and intention over speed.
“You can’t call yourself a nomad if you don’t move often.”
The nomadic lifestyle is more about freedom and choice — not how often you pack a bag.
