3 of the Best Destinations for Digital Nomads

While digital nomads still have plenty of work to do, they have the freedom to travel and explore along the way. If you are looking for your next destination, or want to find a place to meet up with your digital nomad friend, we are highlighting the top X places for digital nomads.

What makes a good destination for digital nomads?

To successfully travel while making money, you should look for places with free internet, and cheap costs. The idea is to have clients from high play places like the US or UK, but travel or live in a place where the cost of living is much lower. (See this guide to geo arbitrage) That way, you can create yourself a nice little pot of savings to use along the way.

While most people look to reduce their physical assets before starting a nomadic lifestyle, there is always the option to buy parking back home, so you know you have got a car when you get back. Parkon.com specializes in airport parking across the States so if you are only heading away for a few weeks at a time, you might find parking more affordable than you first think.
