However, people who understand that they do not need to be in the office every day to complete their tasks may decide to change their lives a lot, or rather, change location and not just one.
Every year more and more people realize that they are not chained to their offices. They can do their job just as well and quickly, but be somewhere on the Mediterranean, and not in an office in Seattle, where it rains quite often.
Among people who choose the path of a digital nomad, you can find many different specialists such as copywriters, social media managers, programmers, and TOEFL tutors who help students to master the English language.
