Digital nomads are a type of people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and, more generally, conduct their life in a nomadic manner. Such workers often work remotely from foreign countries, coffee shops, public libraries, co-working spaces, or recreational vehicles.

This is often accomplished through the use of devices that have wireless Internet capabilities such as smartphones or mobile hotspots. Successful digital nomads typically have a financial cushion. The digital nomad community has had various events established to host members of it, such as the Nomad Cruise. Digital nomads may vary depending on status; common types of digital nomads include refugees, affluent people, younger people, and entrepreneurs.

People who become digital nomads often do so due to positive reasons, such as financial independence and a career that allows for location independence. Negative factors for why people become digital nomads include a reduced amount of full-time employment, political unrest, and a high cost of living in their country of origin.

Nice answer, thanks ;)

Digital nomads are people who are using the internet to perform their work location indepently. They're living a nomadic life of traveling, and they use their location indepent way of working to earn money to be able to travel more. A decent internet connection is basically all they need to be able to work, so they can work from nearly every place, such as their own home (some nomads stay in a particular country for several months), but also internet cafes, libraries, coworking spaces, friendly people they meet, hotel rooms,...

The type of work they mostly perform can be something like photography (selling their pictures), blogging, writing, webmaster, coding (development), ...

True that, Digital nomad myself :P
