You’ll learn the nitty gritty details of how to live a nomadic life, including whether the lifestyle is right for you and your budget. Discover what kinds of remote jobs you can get, how to make friends as a nomad while you stay connected with people back home, where to find comfortable housing abroad, and how to stay safe and healthy while you’re trotting the globe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside…\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cli\u003eDefining the digital nomad experience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTaking your career remote or getting into freelancing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreating a budget and calculating cost of living\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNetworking and making friends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinding accommodations and making local connections—fast\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAvoiding common pitfalls\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnecting to the internet wherever you land\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"For Dummies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989067579621,"sku":"NP9781119867456","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119867456.jpg?v=1761782660","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/digital-nomads-for-dummies-isbn-9781119867456","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
