Loneliness is a common complaint among digital nomads. It’s also the cause I’ve heard cited most frequently from former digital nomads who decided to pack up and head back home. And the fear of being lonely is one of the main reasons stopping aspiring digital nomads from taking the leap.
But being a digital nomad doesn’t have to be a lonely lifestyle.
As digital nomads, most of us are highly dependent on having a reliable internet connection. Fortunately, that’s not too hard to find these days. I’ve managed to stay connected even in some of the most far flung corners of the world. But, as the old saying goes, what can go wrong will go wrong. So, wherever I am in the world, I just assume that at some point my internet connection is going to stop working right when I need it the most.
