The advantages to working remotely are many. What's lost is human connection. Founder Ric Pratte saw this as a solvable challenge in Asheville, NC. In 2021, AVL Digital Nomads formed as a Meetup group to bring these remote workers together. The membership for the Meetup group has grown to 2500+ since its inception in June of '21. With hundreds of events and success stories, combined with the trend toward an exponentially growing number of jobs going remote, Ric and team decided to take this social community framework beyond Asheville.
Thus, United Digital Nomads was born.

Meet Cynthia Phelps (AVLDN)
We are the United Digital Nomads.
About this episode
Meet Cynthia Phelps, a vibrant, positive force to be reckoned with. I had the privilege of sitting across the table from Cynthia at a DN lunch event recently. I believe everyone has a compelling story, and Cynthia’s is certainly no exception. Listen in to learn how she has responded to her dramatic and at times traumatic experiences by taking what’s been handed to her and turning it into something beneficial for herself and those around her.
