Myths and Realities of Digital Nomadism: Beyond the Perfect Instagram Photos
In this talk, I’ll reveal what it’s really like to be a digital nomad—beyond the dreamy Instagram shots working by a pool or on a tropical beach. Some say the hardest part is being away from loved ones or constantly adapting to new cultures, but in my experience, the real challenge is something much simpler: figuring out where to do the laundry with the few clothes we carry in our small luggage.
