Tips For The Best Digital Nomad Lifestyle

•  Research

As with everything one does in life I think it is very important that as a digital nomad you put a lot of work, time, effort and energy into researching about the country that you are going to. Take your time to research and gain knowledge about the culture of the country you’re going to doing this would help you to be sure that the country will meet your need and to also help you deal with the cultural shocks that you might experience.

• Pack as light as possible

This cannot be over emphasised and people like me would struggle as a digital number because I know my weakness and I know that I struggle with packing light but You need to actually learn the skill of packing light, pack as light as possible. Although it can be very difficult packing your bags when you’re going to multiple destinations but one of the things that you can do and mitigate the effect of this is by having the essentials and then you can always buy anything else that you might need whenever it is that you get to your destination.

One of the best ways that I’ve learnt to pack light, is by packing once, taking all that you’ve packed in the bag out of the bag and then packing again this time thinking carefully about each item that you are actually placing in the box and a lot of times you will see that you are actually dropping a lot of items after second and third considerations.

You need to check these document- like I said your passport expiration date, your debit or credit card date, your means of identification or driver’s licence, and also any other documents that you might need in your travels.

• Check your gadgets

You need to ensure that all the gutters that you need on your journey are in good condition and also with good batteries in them. You also need to ensure that you have a universal travel adaptor because the plug for the EU is different from the plug for other countries or universal travel adaptor will help you out and ensure that you can continue work from wherever it is that you are.

You also need to make sure that you get extra charges and cables to mitigate any terrible occurrences in case any of your cords or adaptor gets broken you have a spare one
