Digital Nomads are specialists working remotely who are not tied to an office or place of residence. They can work in a variety of industries, including IT, advertising, blogging and marketing. They can also be entrepreneurs whose business does not require personal presence in a particular place. To become a digital nomad, you usually need to earn from 2,000 euros per month, but conditions in each country can be very different.
