Hey Joose, thanks for watching! Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts - I watched all your videos when we first went to Bali and started our digital nomad journey, and you probably helped us avoid some mistakes! :) - When we started we definitely traveled too much and moved around too much, even within the same country. As time went on, we learned that slowing down is the way to go ;) - Good point about meeting new people. We met a few people who we became really good friends with - but we didn't meet a lot of people. It's probably really 'easy' to just hang out with your partner, and maybe that's one reason. We really enjoy being back in Denmark and traveling when we want to - but we definitely aim to escape all the cold months here. Is being a part time digital nomad a thing? :)

Thanks Adam! Awesome to hear :) Good that you're enjoying your new way of living, I think lots of people, especially in the Northern Europe, dream about traveling to warm countries during the winter haha, while living in a familiar place with friends and family close by during the rest of the year!

I stopped digital nomadding because my own home is such a sweet spot and actually more cost effective than all these other exotic locations, Cape Town! I also lacked a partner, got over solo travelling. I totally get both perspectives. Lucky I can get the digital nomad pros by living at home. Think I would rather digital nomad 4 months of each year with a loved one.

@heikorudi6105 7 ай бұрын

yep, 9 months at home, 3 months abroad a year. and maybe even stop working in these 3 months completely or having a very reduced schedule

Yea that's great you live in that kinda place that is awesome! And yes I agree it's much nicer to do this with a partner!

@@heikorudi6105 I'd be miserable to be home 9 months haha, 2 months I can barely do. And 3 months not working on my passion wouldn't be good either haha. But yea I see many people do it more like this and maybe for some, it works better😊

I like your point of view, and prefer to go dig in for at least a month in most places. And sometimes I'd stay for the 90 days visa free, and then hit the country next door. Mostly I try to walk as much as possible, but recently I hired a local driver---quite a good deal for both of us, because he knew the place well. I've already exceeded my mandatory number of motorcycle accidents!

That was excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really like how you worked in footage from all your other videos. Nice editing, I think this is your best video yet (imho) from both a concept and technical standpoint. The analysis was great. I now have a much broader understanding of what being a Digital Nomad is all about. Thank you!

Travelling for long periods as a couple is different from travelling alone . Eventually Women want to settle in one place , perhaps start a family, close to family and friends for support . Not always the case but the exception doesn’t disprove the rule . One person may want to carry on being a travel nomad and perhaps the other doesn’t . Either one relents or they go their separate ways !

Exactly, never bring a woman along. She’ll disrupt your plans with babies and marriage.

I think everything needs to be in balance. Working in Europe with only 4 weeks holiday per year is really not fun. You will miss alot, the potential new friends abroad, exotic experiences, good times, etc. But if you are traveling alot, the travel fatique will also hit soon or later. It would be perfect if i am able to live/work 6 months each in Europe and Asia.

@zarkarkas 7 ай бұрын

I actually would like to do the same, half time in Europe and half time in Asia too, the only problem is finding remote jobs in Europe, since they are not so common, moreover there is some trend of coming back to the office in IT jobs 🥲 I'm also trying to build my own side business but it takes time and for now is only a cost and not making money😔

@JooseTheNomad 7 ай бұрын

Yes it's definitely the best to work in a country of choice and change when wanted. That sounds a good balance🙏🏽

@@zarkarkas it's easier to achieve first to live full time in Asia tho as it's cheaper. For me, it took years to still not have online income but once I took the leap to move here, I figured it out!

Hey Joose, I just started my digital nomad journey, today is my 3rd day haha so since I didn't plan anything properly but just cancelled my apartment in Sweden and booked one way ticket I wonder how do you manage to get visas to be able to stay at one place for a longer time? Any video or website you can recommend?

@JooseTheNomad 3 ай бұрын

Depends on thr country :) either eVisa, extending in an immigration office, or through agency.

being a digital nomad is only cool if you have a heavily automated and stable business with coworkers, so you can get away with only doing 2-3 hours a day of maintenance work whenever you are abroad.

That sounds very cool but I'm enjoying my life here even with more work hahah, but still having lots of freedom.

Thanks you for your video. It is very interesting. I have some questions to ask you please as in our country its not that popular digital nomads. Me and my wife would really like to try it, but we don't know from where to start. Is there like a website for jobs for digital nomads? My wife is a teacher and i was in the army for 6 and a half years and 4 years as a firefighter, and because we only have basic knowledge of technology we always think it would be impossible to find something that suits us as most of the jobs we check are all very well into development, engineering, softwares etc. And we end up giving up on this dream. Are there jobs which are less complicated maybe for the beginning and then you advance later? Thanks 😊

@JooseTheNomad 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! There's a million options nowadays :) I'd do mots of googling and watching KZfaq videos to try to figure out what would be a good option for you. And when you find it, just focus on working on it every day and don't give up!
