HOW TO BE A DIGITAL NOMAD 20 21 THE DIGITAL NOMAD HANDBOOK Visas & paperwork The traditional digital nomad model is based on something of a legal loophole.

    © Lonely Planet Publications 19 Destination Jordan So it’s official. Petra, jewel in the crown of Jordan’s antiquities, has been declared by popular ballot as one of the ‘new’ Seven Wonders of the World. Jordan’s authorities, together with tour operators, hoteliers and even the Bedouin of Petra themselves, have been quick to understand the commercial value of this marketing coup, and prices have risen accord- ingly. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabataeans hardly needed further billing. Since Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in the 19th century, it has been a favourite destination for Europeans – and at sunset on a winter’s day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it’s easy to see why it has charmed a new generation of visitors.

  • Destination Jamaica
    © Lonely Planet Publications 12 Destination Jamaica Despite its location almost smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Jamaica doesn’t blend in easily with the rest of the Caribbean archipelago. To be sure, it boasts the same addictive sun rays, sugary sands and pampered resort-life as most of the other islands, but it is also set apart historically and culturally. Nowhere else in the Caribbean is the connection to Africa as keenly felt. FAST FACTS Kingston was the major nexus in the New World for the barbaric triangular Population: 2,780,200 trade that brought slaves from Africa and carried sugar and rum to Europe, Area: 10,992 sq km and the Maroons (runaways who took to the hills of Cockpit Country and the Blue Mountains) safeguarded many of the African traditions – and Length of coastline: introduced jerk seasoning to Jamaica’s singular cuisine.

  • What Employers Need to Know About Remote Work Visas
    What Employers Need to Know About Remote Work Visas Countries offering remote work visas are a product of remote work becoming a long-term reality for many companies and workers. While the transition did not occur under the ideal setting, some employees now may express interest in being offered the tools and freedom to transition to “digital nomads.” According to Kate Lister, president of Global Workplace Analytics: “Having had a taste, even under less-than-ideal conditions, employees are saying they want more. The genie is out of the bottle, and it’s not going back in.” While the future will probably look more like a hybrid version of office and remote work, many employees will be drawn to the freedom to live and work from wherever they choose, rather than where they must.

As a result, more people embrace the digital nomad lifestyle to fulfill both personal and professional goals. This research assesses the advantages and disadvantages that are associated with this lifestyle. In addition, I examine the digital nomad characteristics in Bali and how the digital nomad community in Bali supports professional development. Data were collected during a two-month field study in Bali, which is one of the world’s most popular digital nomad hubs. The findings suggest that digital nomads are predominantly millennials from advanced economies who have different academic backgrounds. Freedom is the primary advantage, while overall job satisfaction and productivity dramatically differ. Overall, members of Bali’s digital nomad community feel supported in their

  • Digital Nomad Scanner Izve…
    1 cover photo: unsplash.com/openstreetmap.org/Digital Serbia Initiative 2 3 Intro The Serbian ICT industry is the leading industry in the country, accounting for 6% of GDP. Being a dominantly export-oriented industry, it is clear that further promotion and internationalization of this industry can only help it grow faster. And on several segments: • As per ODI, 1% of global digital workers come from Serbia — expanding their connections with international digital workers might drive new opportunities for those workers and higher wages, • Local tech companies are employing digital talent from Western Europe and the US and have stated that the reputation of the country is making this process more difficult for them, • Diversification in the ecosystem and local coworking spaces will bring new knowledge, experience, and connections, thereby driving better opportunities for various stakeholders. Belgrade has already proven its potential in this segment, but it seems that the number of digital nomads who are visiting the Serbian capital is still much lower than it could be. Therefore, we wanted to gain knowledge about digital nomads in Serbia, and then use it to create a good baseline for future campaigns and content which will attract them to the city, and also improve their experience once they arrive. We believe that Belgrade can become a central regional hub for digital workers, tech innovation and development. We aspire to increase the number of digital workers coming to Belgrade through better distribution of information and targeted population, and to increase the duration of their stay. 4 Finally, we hope that this report will inspire institutions to use these existing traits in further promotion of Belgrade as a digital-friendly city.
