Your VIP VA Podcast A Couple of Digital Nomads

If you've spent the past few months "Smart on Top & Casual down under" chances are you're a Digital Nomad or at least slowly becoming one.  

The words “digital nomad”, usually conjure up an image of a youthful millennial expat, in sitting on a wooden deck in Bali, peppering Instagram with selfies in a hot tub, with a laptop in one hand and a fruit-bowl-salad in the other.  

The caption: "This was where the best Wifi connection was...I swear!"  

Now, however, because of the Pandemic an increasing number of people may be embracing the digital-nomad lifestyle – and not just young workers posing under waterfalls; this is happening in major cities as well.  For instance rent prices in New York City are now dropping for the first time in a decade because, people are realising they don't need a shoe box for $2000 just because it's 20minutes from the office.  

Some moves by major travel-industry players add fuel to this prediction. Looking towards a post-pandemic future, Airbnb has shifted its focus from short-stay accommodation to long-term rentals – a month or more, for example – for getaways and workcations, even after the age of ‘social distancing retreats’ has ended.  

The company believes many people might not just continue to work from home – they’ll work from beach cottages, forest cabins and suburban houses outside expensive city centres.  

All this means one this true Digital Nomadry is being born...  

In this episode Amarjeet and Allesandro introduce themselves (eventually) as a couple of digital nomads, they share what it's like working in a virtual space, and share their insights on how they navigate this new way of working.
