Why Digital Nomads Weekly Exists
Practical signal for people building location-independent lives
Digital Nomads Weekly exists to help people navigate the realities of working and living location-independently — beyond the Instagram version of remote work.
There’s no shortage of content about becoming a digital nomad. What’s harder to find is clear, practical guidance that acknowledges tradeoffs: visas, taxes, cost of living, time zones, work sustainability, burnout, and the systems required to make remote life actually work over time.
This newsletter focuses on signal over noise. Each issue curates useful resources, tools, and insights related to remote work, travel logistics, productivity, and the evolving digital nomad ecosystem. Some weeks that means highlighting new tools or policies; other weeks it means stepping back to examine patterns that affect how people work across borders.
Digital Nomads Weekly is intentionally pragmatic. It’s not about selling a dream lifestyle or promising shortcuts. It’s about helping readers make informed decisions, avoid common mistakes, and build setups that are sustainable — whether that means slow travel, a home base with flexibility, or something in between.
This Substack is also designed to respect attention. Issues are concise, curated, and written to be read quickly, bookmarked, or returned to later. The goal isn’t to overwhelm, but to provide a steady signal you can rely on.
If you’re working remotely, considering it, or already living location-independently and want fewer hot takes and more clarity, this newsletter is for you.
