Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Being a digital nomad where you travel while working can be a dream come true for some people. Most people feel that they have to wait until they are retired and have the time - and money - to travel extensively. But, when the road is your home and office, you don't have to wait.

The requirements for a digital nomad are finding a job you can do on the road, plus a good WiFi connection, a fast laptop, self-discipline, creativity, and an environment where you can work.

Some job ideas include:

freelance writing
graphic design
working as an illustrator
software designer
photographer
photo editor
SEO consulting for websites
social media manager

Or, get creative and consider other portable businesses include being a:

online teacher, such as a language tutor or online guitar tutor
translator
virtual personal assistant
a restaurant critic or restaurant marketing strategist

Bottom line: if you have a talent that can be marketed, you can work throughout the world as a digital nomad.
