What is a Digital Nomad you ask? Digital Nomads make up the growing demographic of individuals who travel the world while working remotely.

So how do digital nomads differ from freelancers? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to trade in your 9 to 5 for simpler times and sunnier climes?

Digital nomads have a much more glamours perception as opposed to freelancers. You may have seen them flooding the beaches of Thailand or other nomad hubs where the cost of living is cheap and the quality of life is high.

Here at General Assembly (London) we partnered up with Roam Co-Living & HUCKLETREE to host a discussion around this new trend. Together we gathered up seasoned working travelers and experts to chat about digital nomadism, working while traveling and the different approaches and tools that will assist certain travel styles and businesses.

Our female-powered panel featured Roam’s Global Head of Community, Daisy Vera Onubogu and Global Events & Partnership Director, Michelle Sims; Freelance Social Media Strategist, Lauren Hannifan; and Founder of Remote Mission, Natalia Komis
