"I've been a digital nomad since 2010, working as a writer and online English teacher. Over the years, I've traveled through more than 30 countries, across five continents, powered by thousands of WiFi networks. But early on, I realized that speedy travel wasn't for me. Some nomads thrive on fast-paced trips, blending work with back-to-back flights and new destinations every few days. I found it exhausting."
"At its core, making nomadic life sustainable requires creativity, resourcefulness, and often a willingness to slow down. "Slowmadism" means staying in one place for months at a time, or rotating between a handful of home bases. This approach has solved some of my biggest struggles. One of the most commonly cited contributors to digital nomad burnout is the constant challenge of finding reliable internet."
A digital nomad since 2010 traveled through more than 30 countries across five continents while working as a writer and online English teacher. Fast-paced travel with brief stays left the traveler drained and unfulfilled. Longer stays—three months in multiple Latin American towns, eight months in Grenada, and a year split between Egypt and Israel—provided balance and stability. Slowmadism emphasizes staying in one place for months or rotating between a few home bases. Slowing down helps build community, establish routine, secure reliable internet, reduce stress, and mitigate common causes of digital nomad burnout.
