>* I'm probably biased against this sort of lifestyle right now because I have a young family which would make being a "digital nomad" impossible;*

Yeah. You can always try it later, when the kids grow up and leave (I think the guy in TFA mentions he has already worked for "30 years" in normal offices, which would imply that too). Or can go for a month or so, during they school vacations. You work, and the kids have their holidays in the same remote place. Kids can grow to enjoy travel and its culture -- though I wouldn't take them away from their regular school and friends.

>I'm not sure having a huge house with a pool and a maid could really be considered a nomadic lifestyle. :-)

Well, if you have that house each time in a different city / country, I think it still qualifies!



We use holidays to reverse migrate from Asia to Europe, just rent a place for a couple of weeks and do work.

Beijing has a lot of environmental problems, so it is important to get out often.


What does "reverse migrate" mean?


I live in Asia and am instead a part time nomad in the west.
