A digital nomad is someone who works online while travelling to many locations for a brief stay in each location. This means that it is only suited to jobs that do not pin you down to a physical location or office, and usually, a digital nomad is self employed and travels light (computer, cell phone, bank cards and a few pieces of clothing LOL).
It also means that the keys to this lifestyle are: access to superfast, stable internet network & Wi-Fi connections at each location (typically a co-working space, but could also be a cyber-café, a hotel room or AirBNB apartment, or even the beach in some fantasies LOL); cheap airline tickets; easy visa entry procedures; good cultural experiences; low costs; no commitments (besides work). How long you spend on your journey and the places you choose to visit are entirely up to the nomad, but does require some advance research in order to plan and optimize the adventure.
There are lots of articles and resources that you can find online describing the digital nomad lifestyle. Cape Verde can be a stopping point on a nomad's journey as we offer all the key components. Cape Verde is also a good destination for longer-term remote work (same as a nomad, except you stay in one location for a long-term, typically 6-moths to a year or more).
