Digital nomads are people who conduct their life in a nomadic manner while engaging in remote work using digital telecommunications technology.
Such people generally have minimal material possessions and work remotely in temporary housing, hotels, cafes, public libraries, co-working spaces,
or recreational vehicles, using Wi-Fi, smartphones or mobile hotspots to access the Internet.
Some digital nomads are perpetual travelers, while others are only nomadic for a short period of time. While some nomads travel through various countries,
others focus on one area. Some may engage in vandwelling.
In 2020, a research study found that 10.9 million American workers described themselves as digital nomads, an increase of 49% from 2019.
