The Real Costs of the Digital Nomad Lifestyle
The digital nomad dream you see on the surface is a LIE.
Hey, it’s your FREE Nomad friend! How was your weekend?
I’m currently two weeks deep in Bangkok, trading spreadsheets for massage school floors and the chaos of crypto markets for the peace of temples.
My experience involves a daily routine at a massage school, learning techniques, experiencing physical exertion, and focusing on memorization. I just wrapped up the basic Thai massage course, and now I’m deep into understanding energy lines and the Thai healing principles. It’s a lot to take in, but surprisingly, my focus has been better than ever.
In my free time, I’ve been exploring Bangkok without a plan, which led me to Talat Noi — an area full of street art, old architecture, and peaceful temples. For those interested in a more visual experience of Bangkok, I share short videos on TikTok (lukaswiesflecker)
