Hi

I am making a documentary on digital nomads, and just launched my website with the trailer recently: http://digitalnomaddocumentary.com

I am collecting stories of current nomads and how they became it. Please share your short video clip and let’s spread out your story! : https://youjindo.typeform.com/to/JcqDhy
This will also be part of the documentary, and may help to show people the ups and downs of it too.

Right now is a very special time as the digital nomad and remote work movement is exploding, and it’s one of the most interesting social developments of the 21st century. Millions of lives will literally be changed in the next decade by this. So I want to document what’s happening RIGHT NOW!!

I am working on this project independently and I am currently crowdfunding it through my site. If you’d like to help out, donations are very appreciated, and backers will be keep updated on the progress and receive rewards too.

Ideas, suggestions on topics, places, events, and people who you think should be featured in it are more than welcome too!

Thanks

What did Andrew miss? Which frictions were the hardest for you to get over?

Hey everyone.

My name is Mark Manson and I’m a professional blogger. My site is MarkManson.net. Although over the years, I’ve run a variety of online businesses and projects.

I’ve been a digital nomad since the Fall of 2009, making it slightly more than five years for me. (You can read what I learned from five years of being a nomad <7>.) In that time I’ve been to almost 60 countries and learned two languages to near-fluency (Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese) as well as studying a handful of others.

I love the nomadic lifestyle, but I’ve also been one of the only ones (to my knowledge) who has openly written about the drawbacks and sacrifices involved.

My girlfriend is Brazilian and has been traveling on the road with me since last summer. I feel like relationships is the next frontier for this lifestyle and that’s probably something I’m uniquely able to comment on.

I guess that’s it. Ask away!
