Be a digital nomad in San Cristóbal de la Laguna

The Canarian city is not renowned as a hotspot for remote workers. It can be challenging to find a community, there is no coliving, and cultural activities are limited. However, the Wi-Fi is relatively good, and there are a few coworking spaces in the city. Therefore, it can be a good destination for digital nomads who prefer off-the-beaten-path travel and want to spend a few days in a peaceful environment.

  • ✨️WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR SERVICES AS A DIGITAL NOMAD? If you plan to start your journey as a digital nomad, you will need to get work! Pretty obvious, right? ➡️You have basically 2 ways to gain the freedom to travel the world: find a remote job or become a freelancer. I am going to focus on the second option since I have been a freelancer for almost 6 years☀️ To get new clients, you will need to promote your services. Here are 4 ways to do so: ⭐️Have a professional website where you can offer your services. You will need to know basic SEO in order to make your page appear in the Google search results, where potential clients can find you. ⭐️Use your Instagram or LinkedIn as a portfolio, where you will also publicly present your services. ⭐️Create a profile on freelancer platforms where companies interested in your profile can get in touch with you. ⭐️Prospect. I really think it is the most boring way, and I am great at procrastinating on it. However, prospecting potential clients is a great way to inform them about your services. If you are a freelancer, which method is your favorite? #digitalnomadspirit #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #digitalnomadinsider #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadtips #freelancertips #travelfulltime #travelandwork #remoteworker #remoteworking #remotelife

  • 👩🏾‍💻IF I HAD TO RESTART AS A DIGITAL NOMAD Being a digital nomad can seem easy and glamorous. Well, it is not!😅 The image you can get about this lifestyle from social media is generally quite far away from reality. Obviously, it is an amazing lifestyle, and you will be able to see with your own eyes amazing landscapes and landmarks, to experience delicious food, to understand better other cultures, and to meet the most amazing people✨️ But you will also face many challenges like a decrease in your revenue, burn-out from traveling, or just homesickness. I have been a digital nomad for 2 years and a few months, and here is what I would do differently if I could come back in time: ➡️ I would continue to look for new clients even in the periods I made good money, because it doesn't last forever. ➡️ I would privilege accommodation with a good workspace and light. ➡️ I would stay several months in the same city instead of traveling so much. ➡️ I would document earlier the bad side of it to vehicle a more realistic lifestyle on Instagram.

  • 💦HOW TO USE WATER RESPONSIBLY WHILE TRAVELING? As travelers, we have a huge responsibility for environmental protection. The best would be to stop traveling, but we all know it is not a realistic option😅 So instead, we really need to do our best and limit our impact. In many countries of the world, water scarcity is already a reality. It is quite scary. It is time to really do our best: 🚿Take Shorter Showers: This one is quite easy. Besides short showers, you can also turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. 💧Mindful Rinsing: When washing dishes or clothes while traveling, use a basin or sink filled with water rather than letting the tap run continuously. 🚰Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Stay at accommodations committed to water conservation practices, such as using low-flow faucets and toilets. 💧Support Local Initiatives: Participate in local water conservation efforts or support businesses that prioritize sustainable water usage. 🌊Replenish, Don't Waste: Be mindful of water scarcity in the regions you visit, and only use what you need, whether it's for drinking, bathing, or washing. What are you already doing to reduce your water consumption? #responsibletourism #conscioustourism #sustainabletourism #ecofriendlytourism #responsibletravel #conscioustravel #sustainabletravel #ecofriendlytravel #mindfultraveler #travelandwork #workandtravel #digitalnomadtips

  • 👩🏾‍💻ARE YOU THINKING OF BECOMING A DIGITAL NOMAD? Working and traveling at the same time is a dream for many of us, and I can assure you that it is an amazing lifestyle✨️ However, it is not for everyone. Check if you have these 4 essential qualities to embark on the digital nomad journey 🌐 ✅️Discipline. This one is a huge one. When you travel, you want to know everything about the destination where you are. You want to visit sites and spend time with the people you meet on the way. But, if you need to work 30 – 40 hours a week, you won’t be able to do it. So, you will need to be disciplined enough to avoid distraction and put yourself at work. ✅️Flexibility. Bad things happen when you travel. Your bus can be canceled, or your Wi-Fi can be down. It means you will need to change your plans, and it can affect your work. So, you need to be flexible and find a way to make things work. ✅️Quick-learning. While traveling, you need to learn many things: languages, how to get the bus, where to buy a sim card… Everything is new to you, but at the same time, you don’t have many months to learn how your new place works.  ✅️Ability to market yourself. It is true for digital nomads but also for any freelancer. You need to know how to sell your services and how to build a good online presence to get regular clients. How many of these skills do you have?💼 #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen
