¿Cómo ser nómada digital?

Nómada digital

¿Estás cansado de estar en la oficina 8 horas al día? ¿Te encantaría poder trabajar desde cualquier lugar del mundo? Tal vez, ser nómada digital es lo que necesitas. En este artículo de blog, te daré las instrucciones más detalladas para lanzarte a descubrir este estilo de vida. Desde elegir la carrera adecuada hasta gestionar tu dinero mientras estás viajando, hablaré de todos los temas para que la transición sea leve. Que sueñas con trabajar desde una casa en una playa de Tailandia, en un bonito café en Londres, o en un co-living de moda en Bogotá, estoy aquí para ayudarte. Toma un café y descubre cómo ser nómada digital ahora.

En este artículo:

Ventajas de ser un nómada digital

El estilo de vida nómada digital ofrece una multitud de ventajas que atrae cada vez más personas.

Primero, la ventaja principal y obvia es que brinda la oportunidad de trabajar desde cualquier parte del mundo. Que prefieras la vida bulliciosa de las ciudades grandes o la tranquilidad de los pueblos, tienes la flexibilidad de trabajar desde donde quieras. Además, puedes cambiar de lugar siempre que te apetezca en función del tiempo y de tu nivel de productividad.

Segundo, ser nómada digital te permite sumergirte y descubrir realmente tu destino. No estás limitada a algunas semanas de vacaciones cada año, puedes pasar varios meses en el mismo sitio para disfrutarlo mejor.

Tercero, puedes conocer a gente con el mismo mindset. En casa, con tus amigos de toda la vida, puede ser complicado sentirte entendido y compartir con ellos las mismas preocupaciones. Cuando eres digital nomad, la vida pone otros trabajadores remotos en tu camino que comparten los mismos valores profesionales y personales que tú.

Luego, creces de tantas maneras. Como viajas full-time, y que a la vez trabajas, debes adaptarte a todo tipo de situación. Estás solo para asumir nuevos retos, problemas y situaciones. No te queda otra que crecer como individuo y obtener nuevas habilidades y capacidades. 

Por último, ahorras dinero. Es algo que a muchas personas le cuesta entender, pero trabajar a distancia te permite viajar a destinos donde los costes de vida pueden ser muchos más bajos que en tu propia ciudad.

Cualidades necesarias para ser nómada digital

Este estilo de vida puede parecer glamoroso y fácil, pero definitivamente no es para todos. Es necesario tener ciertas cualidades para pasarlo bien y ser capaz de trabajar y viajar a la vez. Por supuesto, puedes aprender sobre la marcha, pero ¡estate preparado!

Primero, debes saber gestionar tu tiempo correctamente. Como nómada digital, nadie te obliga a trabajar, pero aun así debes hacerlo y respetar las deadlines. Entonces, necesitas aprender a priorizar tus tareas de manera eficaz y encontrar la motivación cada mañana en vez de ir a la playa o de visitar el campo con tus amigos.

Después, saber adaptarse es clave. El estilo de vida de los nómadas digitales implica navegar en territorios desconocidos. Nuevos destinos, nuevos idiomas, nuevos sistemas de transporte, necesitar acostumbrarte a la novedad de manera constante. Y por supuesto, vas a vivir muchos problemas a lo largo de tu viaje, como estar bloqueado en la estación de buses mientras tu cliente quiere hacer una call o te vas a quedar sin wifi en algún momento.

Otra habilidad importante es la resiliencia. Necesitas recapacitar cuando las cosas no van como quisieras y olvidar de lo malo para seguir adelante. Viajar a tiempo completo puede ser difícil y, desde lejos, no es nada perfecto.

¿Cómo ser nómada digital? Elegir la carrera adecuada

Es hora de hablar de las cosas serias. Ahora, te has dejado convencer por los beneficios de este estilo de vida, y sabes que tienes las cualidades necesarias para tener una vida feliz de digital nomad, pero quieres saber cómo proceder.

Existen varias opciones según tu experiencia y tus preferencias para trabajar a distancia.

Una opción popular es trabajar a distancia para tu empleador. Hoy en día, son numerosas las empresas que ofrecen puestos en remoto. Entonces, si estás trabajando ahora mismo, primero puedes preguntar a tu superior si te podría dejar trabajar a 100 % fuera de la oficina. Si no, puedes buscar una nueva empresa que te ofrece esta modalidad. Trabajar para una compañía da estabilidad y te permite hacer parte de un equipo.

El freelancing es otra solución popular, pero viene con una mayor autonomía, y necesitas saber encontrar clientes y proyectos. Como freelancer, creas tus propias reglas, pero tus ingresos son inestables, y necesitas exponerte para promover tus servicios. También, puedes decidir de montar tu propia compañía. Es una solución más compleja y que necesita más tiempo, pero es otra opción.

Que decidas de ser freelancer o entrepreneur, tienes que evaluar tus habilidades y tus intereses y descubrir cómo aplicarles al trabajo remoto. La lista de empleos que puedes hacer como nómada digital es muy larga: social media manager, profesor de yoga, project manager, asistente virtual…

Después, tienes que trabajar tu presencia online para promover tus servicios. Elige lo que es mejor para ti y donde están tus potenciales clientes. Puedes crear un perfil en Instagram, tener tu propia página web o estar presente en LinkedIn, por ejemplo.

Varios websites y plataformas se dedican a conectar a freelancers y trabajadores remotos con clientes potenciales o empleadores. ¡No te olvides de hacerte un perfil allí y buscar regularmente nuevas oportunidades!

¿Cómo ser nómada digital? TenER un plan financiero

Cuando viajas, las tentaciones están omnipresentes: quieres probar esta comida nueva, visitar esta pirámide y también este museo, quieres disfrutar de la vida nocturna en las discotecas, pero también te apetece ir a conciertos. ¡Es muy fácil gastar mucho dinero!

Entonces, necesitas saber exactamente cuanto dinero tienes y hacer una predicción para los próximos 6 meses. Te recomiendo abrir una hoja Excel y escribir todos los tipos de gastos que vas a tener: alojamiento, compras, restaurantes, médicos, ropa…

Para cada categoría, pon un límite que no quieres superar para cada mes. Siempre que compres algo, apuntalo y mira cuanto dinero queda. Es una buena manera de siempre saber cuanto dinero tienes sin gastar demasiado.

Para tener presupuestos lógicos para cada categoría, es necesario que consideras el coste de la vida en los diferentes destinos. Tendrás que investigar un poquito. Puedes utilizar guías de viajes, leer blogs, hacer simulaciones en Airbnb o en páginas locales de alquiler, visitar supermercados online… Unas horas son suficiente para hacerte una idea.

Si no te gusta Excel, existen muchas herramientas digitales para hacer presupuestos, trackear tus gastos, gestionar tu dinero online para siempre estar organizado y no temer por tu situación financiera.

Mi consejo es de siempre tener dinero para aguantar 6 meses. Así, si pierdes un cliente o tienes que gastar mucho para una emergencia, no te tienes que estresar demasiado.

También es importante identificar varias estrategias para generar ingresos como nómada digital que puede funcionar para ti. Puede ser el freelancing, empezar tu propio negocio online, tener una cadena en Youtube, monetizar tu cuenta Instagram, o meterte en el marketing de afiliación.

¿Cómo ser nómada digital? Seleccionar bien los destinos

Uno de los mayores beneficios de ser un digital nomad es poder trabajar desde cualquier lugar del mundo. Sin embargo, no todos los destinos se valen. Debes elegir destinos que ofrecen una buena combinación de infraestructuras, costes y calidad de vida.

Empieza por informarte sobre la calidad de la conexión Internet. Como nómada digital, tener una conexión estable es esencial para poder trabajar. Infórmate sobre la velocidad de internet y las opciones para siempre tener conexión para poder trabajar de manera eficaz.

Otra cosa que debes considerar es el coste de la vida. Ciertos destinos pueden ser bastante baratos. Como dicho anteriormente, infórmate de los costes medios del alojamiento, del transporte, de la comida y de otros esenciales en los destinos que consideras buenas opciones.

Además, tienes también que considerar la calidad de vida de cada destino. Según tus preferencias, busca sitio que ofrece una cierta comodidad y un buen clima. La seguridad y el acceso al sistema de salud también son temas importantes para las estancias largas.

Si, para ti, es indispensable estar rodeado de otros nómadas digitales, vale la pena buscar destinos donde la comunidad digital nomad ya es establecida. Significa que el acceso a oportunidades de networking, espacios de coworkings y eventos sociales será facilitado.

Opciones de alojamiento para nómadas digitales

Como digital nomad, es indispensable encontrar el mejor alojamiento posible. Ya que un buen lugar puede mejorar tu productividad, ofrecer un espacio cómodo para recargar las pilas y dar la oportunidad de conectar con nuevas personas.

Una opción popular para los nómadas digitales son los espacios de co-living. Son espacios de vida compartidos, especialmente diseñados para trabajadores remotos y digital nomads. Ofrecen habitaciones o pisos privados con zonas comunes, como los espacios de co-working, la cocina y otras áreas sociales. Esta opción permite tener una comunidad desde el día uno y conectar con otros compañeros.

AirBnb es otra opción popular. La plataforma te permite alquilar habitaciones privadas, pisos o casas. Da mucha flexibilidad y ofrece una gama de opciones amplía para todos los bolsillos y las preferencias. Es una buena solución si hacer parte de una comunidad no es una prioridad para ti  y que te apetece experimentar una vida más local.

Si prefieres algo más tradicional, puedes alquilar un piso o una casa para largo plazo. Así, disfrutas de más estabilidad y de la oportunidad de sumergirse realmente en la comunidad local. Puedes encontrar ofertas en páginas webs locales y especializadas o en los grupos Facebook. Sin embargo, buscar un sitio a distancia puede ser un poco complicado y no 100 % seguro.

Por último, house-sitting o pet-sitting puede ser una fantástica manera de tener un alojamiento mientras exploras nuevos horizontes. Páginas web como TrustedHousesitters conectan los caseros con los viajeros que están dispuestos a cuidar de las casas o mascotas, en cambio, de un alojamiento gratuito.

  • 💦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

  • ✨️NOVEMBER RECAP✨️ It has been a tough month. Many health issues prevented me from enjoying my time and focusing on my work. But I had no other choice than to deal with it. From a thwarted holiday plan in Huatulco to navigating medical challenges in Oaxaca, it was a journey of resilience and self-care. But today, it is December, and I am perfectly fine, and ready to enjoy Oaxaca and make the most of my last month here. Here are some highlights of this month: As a digital nomad: 👩🏾‍💻I started to diversify my income. Let’s see if I actually see results in 6 months. 👩🏾‍💻I changed my routine again to adapt it better to my life in Oaxaca. Adapting your routine when necessary is key if you are a remote worker. On a personnel level: 👩🏾 As much as I adore the digital nomad lifestyle, the adventurer in me is itching for more! So I plan to travel differently in 2024, a blend of routine to get my work done and not lose my sanity, and adventure to let space to the crazy Audrey. 👩🏾I am having the best time enjoying the Oaxacan cuisine. 👩🏾I am really enjoying having friends in Oaxaca and sharing great moments.

Herramientas y tecnologías esenciales para nómadas digitales

Ser un digital nomad implica tener varias herramientas y tecnologías para trabajar de manera eficaz. Descubre algunas que deberías tener como nómada digital:  

  1. Un portátil bueno: invertir en un portátil de calidad según el tipo de tareas que desarrollas es importante. Presta atención al procesador, la batería y la durabilidad. Busca opciones ligeras que serán más fáciles a transportar mientras viajas. 
  2. Una conexión Internet estable: una conexión estable es un requisito imprescindible para trabajar remoto. Busca proveedores de internet buenos en cada destino donde vayas. También puedes considerar invertir en un aparato wifi para nunca perder la conexión.
  3. Almacenamiento online: utiliza servicios en la nube como Google Drive para guardar tus documentos a salvo y poder acceder a ellos en cualquier momento. Eso te asegura de poder encontrar los documentos de trabajo esenciales, incluso si te roban el portátil o si tienes algún problema con un aparato.
  4. Apps de videoconferencias: para estar siempre conectado con tus clientes o los miembros de tu equipo a través de videoconferencia, puedes usar apps como Zoom. Te permiten tener reuniones virtuales y comunicar siempre que sea necesario en cualquier lugar del mundo.
  5. Conversor de franja horaria: cuando trabajas con clientes o miembros de tu equipo que están en zonas horarias diferentes, un conversor te puede ayudar a organizar tus reuniones.
  6. Apps de productividad: mantener la concentración y estar organizado cuando viajas y trabajas a la vez es todo un reto. Por suerte, existen muchas apps de productividad para ayudarte. Apps como Todoist or RescueTime te pueden ayudar para la gestión de tareas, tomar apuntes y para trackear tu tiempo.

Retos ESTRESANTes para nómadas digitales

El estilo de vida de los nómadas digitales ofrece muchos beneficios, pero también están acompañados de desventajas. Comparto contigo algunos y también algunas estrategias para vencerlos:

  1. Soledad y aislamiento: trabajar en remoto puede a veces llevar a un sentimiento de soledad y de aislamiento. Eso se puede combatir buscando activamente interacciones sociales. Existen varias maneras de hacerlo: quedarte con una familia lugareña, ir siempre al mismo café, ir a espacios de co-workings, conectar con otros digital nomads en línea. Además, mantener una rutina y participar a hobbies y actividades fuera del trabajo puede ayudar a combatir este sentimiento de aislamiento.
  2. Distracciones y falta de concentración: trabajar en entornos desconocidos puede resultar en distracciones y falta de concentración. Crear un espacio de trabajo especial y establecer una rutina permite mandar al cerebro señales que es hora de trabajar. Utiliza para eso técnicas de productividad como la Pomodoro Technique para mantenerte centrado y minimizar las distracciones.
  3. Diferencias horarias: trabajar con clientes o miembros de equipos en diferentes franjas horarias puede causar problemas. Deja claro tus disponibilidades y establece canales para comunicar regularmente. Usa conversores de horas y planifica tus meetings con antelación para garantizar una colaboración eficaz.
  4. Problemas de conexión a Internet: una conexión inestable puede ser un problema a la hora de trabajar. Busca proveedores de Internet bueno en tu destino y considera tener una solución en caso de conexión realmente mala, como tener una SIM card local o saber dónde se ubica el co-working más cercano. Además, prevé de tener tareas y proyectos que puedes hacer offline cuando el acceso a internet es muy comprometido.
  5. Equilibrio trabajo-vida: mantener un equilibrio entre trabajo y vida es esencial para seguir con este estilo de vida a largo plazo. Pon límites y establece una rutina que siempre deja espacio para los momentos de trabajo, pero también los momentos de relax. Prioriza tu autocuidado, participa en actividades que te brindan felicidad y acuérdate de desconectar del trabajo cuando hace falta.
