Digital Nomads – working from anywhere

20 March, 201520 March, 2015 Emelie Fågelstedt 2 Comments

In a digital world, we can work from anywhere. Next month will mark the 5th year anniversary of my freelance career. In 2010, when I was still a communications student at Stockholm University, I decided to start my own company and start supporting smaller organizations with social media strategy and management. This was just at the dawn of businesses starting to realize the value of social media. Today, five years later, my experience from the digital field allows me to work with clients from all over the world; while I myself can work physically from anywhere as long as I have a stable Internet connection.

The concept of living as a digital nomad is becoming all the more acceptable and popular – with the Internet erasing country boarders and making it possible for people working in the digital field to have the whole world as their playground.

In today’s society we are connected and communicating at all times. From the moment we wake up, before even getting out of bed, we start by checking our smartphones. And the day goes on the same – we are connected. We talk with people and people talk with us. On the train, at work, during lunch, going out, at home. In fact, it is claimed that we check our phones 150 times a day. That’s unlocking your phone every 7 minutes on average when awake.
