Wanderlust & Wi-Fi: Travel in the Age of the Digital Nomad

Description:

A rush of remote workers (27% of U.S. employees as of 2023) freed from the confines of their desks—and even their home countries—took the world by storm over the last few years. A steady mix of work, travel, and leisure around the globe seems more attainable for many than ever before. So what are full-time remote workers looking for in their next destination? What ethical considerations should long-term travelers think about? What do wishful remote workers need to know before they take the leap? And what’s really the good, the bad, and the ugly about the digital nomad lifestyle?
