Francesca Specter, writing for The Guardian, laments what she sees as the downsides of digital nomad living after trying the lifestyle for a year. But her troubles were probably avoidable.
For example, instead of enjoying the best of both worlds of work and play, she claims she could "access neither the tranquillity and sense of routine I need to do my best writing, nor the relaxed holiday mindset to enjoy the luxury of being abroad." And she complained about too much actual travel and that "departure lounges became my office space" and airline problems like lost luggage and flight delays.
In my book, Gastronomad, I specifically recommend much longer stays in each location — months, instead of weeks, which greatly reduces all these troubles.
Specter seems surprised by the inconveniences, hazards and discomforts of living nomadically, about which I devoted an entire chapter with remedies for all.
She also didn't get my memo about living as a temporary local, rather than as a non-stop tourist.
