The right way to do it is to setup a regular lifestyle in the place of your choosing

Sure, but that's just emigrating. The whole point of the digital nomad lifestyle is to be able to move around on a whim.

Well, I guess herein lies the rub of the whole concept. Nomadery is fine for some for a while, but it's no life. You need connections and community anywhere.

I think there are lots of reasons why people set out on this path, seeing a bunch of different places is one of them, but the other half is rich country wage meets poor country living.

I've honestly very little time for true digital nomads. By spreading yourself thin over a bunch of countries, you're part of jacking up the cost of living for everyone else whilst not being around long enough to meaningfully give back.

The way I see it the point is to live in one place while working in another.
