Coping with Coronavirus Quarantine - Why Digital Nomads are Better Prepared

Apr 21, 2020

Kristin Wilson and Johnny FD discuss why some digital nomads are coping better than brick-and-mortar businesses and traditional employees during the coronavirus quarantine, and how nomads are more mentally, emotionally, and financially resilient during these times.

We discuss: 

  • Why daily life hasn't changed much for digital nomads

  • Familiar with uncertainty and discomfort. (also just not having access to certain things)

  • Minimalist lifestyle and low cost-of-living

  • Focus on experiences over consumerism

  • Multiple income streams
  • Growth mindset over fixed mindset
  • Personal identity not tied to a job or company
  • Comfortable using remote collaboration tools
  • Less familial and societal pressures at home
  • Part of a global community
  • At home everywhere in the world

We also discuss why new digital nomads and digital "backpackers" are struggling more than experienced digital nomads and online entrepreneurs. 

This is an episode of Travel Like a Boss podcast hosted on Badass Digital Nomads.

Disclaimer: We understand that many people are struggling financially and with their health and do not discount the pain many people around the world are feeling right now. However, this episode is for people who are using the pandemic as a reason to let go of their mental and physical health when they could be making a different choice. 

Definition of a Digital Nomad: Someone who earns a living online, regardless of his or her physical location. Most digital nomads travel full-time without a home base.
