In almost all discussions about remote work I have to first explain the difference between:
- digital backpackers
- workation tourists
- digital staymads
- remote workers
Very different people with very different lifestyles and needs.
B/c i was asked:
Digital Backpackers
- want to see the world
- travel like budget backpackers
- often run a small business
- ... or influencer
- ... or freelance
- switch location every 1-3 weeks
- usually work from coffee shops - ... or bigger coworking spaces
Digital Staymads
- stay 1-6 months
- try to live like local expats
- ... and be more productive
- regularly couples/families
- some work from coffeeshops
- some rent a desk in a coworking space
- ... or smaller office
- ... or use their airbnb
