Do you dream of being able to travel while keeping your current job? Definitely, you are someone who could become a digital nomad.
In this article:
To see if it can really be the alternative for you, answer a few questions:
Have you ever dreamed of waking up by the sea and working from your PC?
Would you like to be able to work and travel at the same time on the other side of the world?
Do you have a spirit of adaptation and responsibility?
If you answered affirmatively to at least two of these questions, you may have what it takes to start your career as a digital nomad.
Of course, you should know that this is not just a way of working, but a real life choice. Therefore, despite the many satisfactions you will be able to achieve, you will have to be willing to make sacrifices.
Who are the digital nomads?
Before we find out how to become digital nomads, let's take a step back: who are these workers?
We can define "digital nomads" as those people who, because of their work and what they earn, can travel constantly.
Be careful, however: we are not talking about paid travel or work as with influencers (or rather, not only). In fact, digital nomads are those who can do their work from anywhere in the world.
Unlike traditional workers, digital nomads manage their work entirely remotely, without necessarily having to go to the office and be tied to a workplace. In fact, you only need an Internet connection and a computer to do your job.
In addition, digital nomads have the ability to choose how much time to devote to their work, managing it themselves. In this way, they can discover new glimpses into the world, always traveling.
How to become a digital nomad?
Would you like to become a digital nomad? Surely the first step will be to find a job that allows you to make a living at it.
In fact, traditional jobs often do not allow employees to move from the office except for a few days of smart-working. In short, even though work methodologies are slowly changing after the pandemic, digital nomads almost always remain freelancers on VAT numbers.
How to start your own path to digital nomadism? We certainly don't want to advise you to make rash choices. In fact, no one will ever tell you to quit your job and leave in search of fortune.
Yet, you can start by identifying something you are really good at, so that you can turn this talent of yours into a profession that allows you to make a living.
Remember: becoming a digital nomad requires a big commitment and just as many skills, both understood as hard skills and as a spirit of adaptation and sacrifice.
However, if this is your dream in the drawer, all you have to do is work hard to chase after it and achieve it.
If you are considering opening a VAT number, we recommend that you consult a tax expert, who will be able to best guide you on this entrepreneurial path.
For example, you may be eligible for the flat-rate scheme, where you will pay 15% or 5% in taxes.
