A digital nomad is simply someone who can use digital technology to work from alternative locations.

It's not about traveling. It's about choice. So if you can work from another town or another country but choose not to, you're as much of a digital nomad as someone who does make that choice.

Unfortunately, the whole digital nomad idea has been hijacked by a certain kind of digital nomad, namely the young, traveling blogger and freelancer-type digital nomad.

That's why it may surprise you to learn that the majority of digital nomads aren't bloggers. Of course, you don't hear about nonblogging nomads because they don't blog about it. In general, digital nomads are older, make more money and work in more traditional professions than the digital nomad blogosphere would have you believe.
