Travel Abroad And Earn A Living!
The most exciting thing for anyone thinking about being a digital nomad is sitting in a famous city working whilst you meet a deadline at the end of the week. Then, moving onto the next destination the day after and seeing most of the world as you go. Often when you are working in an office you may need employment verification and there could be other paperwork involved but you can be fortunate now to have different options. Once upon a time, in the 90s and before, traveling and working may have been things to choose between, but today, there are options to allow you to travel and enjoy working at the same time and here are some of the most practical ones that you can do!
