A house is just bricks and mortar. The people who live in it make it a home.

I'm working on project about Nomads. I can't find any forums where I may ask about interesting me question. The question is what nomad can call HOME and HOUSE?

I'll definitely not live such life. as i hate to live the complicated life. i think life in a cosmopolitan is much better and easier as compared to the nomads. because peace of mind is a great factor to be live happily and healthily.

The article is really good for better creativity and jobs with all mobile devices.I think such type of jobs are great for people that can be both place free and time free(that is any time anywhere stuff online).
Of course there are many advantages of mobile life style.

Thanks for sharing. You mention one important point: being a digital nomad does not mean that you have to become super rich but it definitely means that you live a better and more relaxed life.

If anyone is offered one day the chance to do some teleworking or even fully become a Digital Nomad and completely change his or her lifestyle (for a better one, I can testify!) he or she should just seize this opportunity. For more than 7 years I've been working in PR agencies (1 year in NYC, 2 years in Mexico and 4 years in France), and for those who are familiar with this PR environment and open-space offices, working there was completely crazy. While working in France I asked HR to let me work 10 days a month from Austria, where my fiancée lives. This was really a première @ our agency and our HR department in France had to report this to the EMEA HR department in the UK which then discussed it with the global HR department in the US... CRAZY! At the end I was granted the permission to split my working time between Paris and Vienna. For two years I lived the amazing life of a Digital Nomad, working from my apartment, coffee shops, airports, train stations and sometime from a real office. When I quit my company in March 2009 to literally embark on a new adventure (a 4 month Atlantic tour on-board an old military schooner) I knew that should I have to re-work for a company, I could never do it again the old way. Before sailing to this Atlantic Ocean adventure, I started a blog on which I shared two years of stories and tips on how to optimally live the life of a Digital Nomad. And shortly after I returned from my trip with the French Navy, I got hired by Skype which was looking for someone to manage their French (<a href="http://share.skype.com/sites/fr/" rel="nofollow">http://share.skype.com/sites/fr/</a>) and Spanish blog (<a href="http://share.skype.com/sites/es/" rel="nofollow">http://share.skype.com/sites/es/</a>). I'm now living in Linz, Austria and earn a decent living, not as much as before, but my lifestyle has definitely improved: I can organize my working time as I want, no more staying stuck in the traffic jam or running like crazy between the gates of an airport. I have more time to take care of my place, my self and my family. Being a Digital Nomad did not only help me improve the quality of my working life; it allowed me to improve my whole life and live what I could call a dream. I totally agree with you!

On the other hand it (the cloud) makes things possible that were never possible before. <br><br>But I guess I would have never gotten to China if I had to take a sailing ship! :) Hmm, grumpy…..could be.
