Some of my readers don’t know this about me, but I know a little bit about being a digital nomad. I’ve traveled a LOT. I’ve lived, worked, and studied in six different countries across three different continents (so far). Several years ago my husband and I decided to take our two kids out of school, travel the world and ‘homeschool’ them (even though we technically didn’t have a home — a model more commonly known as ‘world schooling’ — which is surprisingly common).

We thought we’d travel for a year. It was actually five years before we were fully settled back in a proper house in our home country (although we weren’t constantly ‘on the road’ — we regularly spent weeks or even months in one place). I’ve proved to myself that taking my online business on the road is possible, and that being location independent is something that suits me. I fully intend to do it again, once my two teenagers have finished up their education.

Whether you want to be a full-time digital nomad, or simply want to build up a freedom based business that allows you to work remotely for part of the year, there are a few indespensible tech tools that will make life easier.
