The life of a digital nomad may seem to be a paradise… but there’s a lot more to it than Instagram influencers would have you believe.
What we often see on Instagram can seem too good to be true. Many well-edited, perfect shot pictures of attractive and rich people posing in a very (un)natural way by their luxury pool. (80%fake btw). This is the online perception of digital nomads, which is only partially correct. It’s important to understand that the dream of becoming a digital nomad and the reality of it are two different things. There’s a lot more underneath the surface than folks on Instagram (many of whom aren’t even successful digital nomads) will often reveal.
Let me be clear. It is great to create this kind of lifestyle for yourself and all the perks that come with it. Be free, autonomous and empowered. Living long enough in many countries(of your travel-bucket list), to adjust to the local culture and take your ´precious´ time. However, the digital nomad lifestyle isn’t without its downsides. Sometimes it gets hard, lonely and confusing. It can be really tough finding your feet on your digital nomad journey.
Before you quit your job, pack your bags, and decide to join the digital nomad lifestyle, make sure you make know what you’re getting yourself into and re-adjust your expectations. It’s not all sunsets, rainbows and romance,.. and it’s not for everyone!

4-It can be very time consuming and exhausting as you need to learn every step> find the right niche/marketing strategies/tools/ building up a portofolio> however, it´s so worth the journey.
5-It might be a better idea to stay in a nice ´exotic place´/island when you start to set up an online business and soak up the local culture(completely different than your own), learn from it, and get inspiration( to write or film) Pick ´home-base´ and focus your energy><versus backpacking because you will need a kind of schedule/routine(I know, not a great word right…)> take time to settle in the place you want to live for a while (v that bucket list). You can not be in a rush, organizing your next trip and moving from one place to another.>Take control of your destiny and take the required actions.
6- You can choose your fixed hours and enjoy the most of your ´free time´ Which, in the beginning, will be more ´overtime´ until you´ve structured your time and got it all set up,… even ´automated´ so in the future you only have to work a few hours/day.
7- Once you´re all set, and automated your online business, you can actually make money on ´autopilot´ which we call ´passive income´. You can do that with Affiliate Marketing and make 10-20 Dollars a day to start with and scale up as you go. Then, your ´traveling Lifestyle´ becomes possible.

I’ve observed that in the world of today, video games will be the latest rage with children of all ages. There are occassions when it may be extremely hard to drag the kids away from the games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are plenty of educational games for kids. Good post.
