The Allure Of Freedom

The digital nomad lifestyle is often characterized by freedom.

It offers some freedoms that are virtually impossible in traditional 9-5, location-based jobs.  No need to struggle to find decent and affordable housing within reasonable commute distance of where you want to work or be subject to the high cost of living.

However, for digital nomads, the lines between work and leisure disappear, as they tend to work hard, play hard and earn more.

This combination can lead to burnout.
