Growing up, I always had a passion for travel and exploring new places. I dreamt of wandering the world, immersing myself in different cultures and experiencing the beauty of diverse landscapes. However, as I entered the workforce, I quickly realized that the traditional nine to five job was not conducive to my wanderlust-filled desires.
It was then that I discovered the concept of being a digital nomad – someone who works remotely while traveling the world. Intrigued by the idea of combining work and travel, I knew that learning to code was the key to making this dream a reality. So, with determination in my heart, I set out to master the art of coding.
I enrolled in online coding courses and spent countless hours studying programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. At first, the concepts seemed foreign and overwhelming, but I refused to give up. I sought out mentors, joined online coding communities, and immersed myself in the world of coding.
As I honed my coding skills, I began to take on freelance projects and build a portfolio of work. With each successful project, my confidence grew, and I started to see the possibility of working remotely while traveling the world. I saved up money, quit my job, and boarded a plane to my first destination as a digital nomad.
From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene beaches of Bali, coding has allowed me to explore the world while earning a living. I can work from a cozy cafe in Paris, a sunny rooftop in Mexico City, or a beachside hammock in Thailand. The flexibility and freedom that coding offers have opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me.
Of course, being a digital nomad comes with its challenges. There are moments of uncertainty, loneliness, and technical difficulties. But the sense of fulfillment and adventure that comes with living a life on the road far outweighs any obstacles. I have met incredible people, tried new foods, and witnessed breathtaking sights, all while maintaining a successful career as a coder.
Learning to code has been a life-changing experience for me. It has allowed me to turn my dream of traveling the world into a reality. As I continue to explore new places and expand my coding skills, I am grateful for the opportunities and adventures that being a digital nomad has brought into my life.

I tried to tell a story as honestly as possible. I hope you like it!
Similar story! I started 7 years ago as a help desk, then technical admin to full blown system admin. Just this month I was able to move from sys admin into software dev roll within my company!!
I know this video was some time ago however I have a question I was hoping you could answer. Do I need a College degree to get a job within programming? I am a self taught HTML,CSS, & JavaScript Programmer. By no means am I an expert however I feel I have enough knowledge to obtain a job within the industry but I'm seeing that almost every employer requires some kind of college degree?
This is my dreams! So exciting
awesome video! in 2022 I left 8 years in oil and gas and restarted in software development. I enrolled in a 2 year IT-Programming at local college. im half done and already getting work. in 2 weeks I leave for Croatia for 1 month to do an A.I. course through school. I have one year left of school and I will build my Fiverr or Upwork portfolio. I am chasing my dream and you can too!!
Great story
Hi man, Im a Medical Doctor From Europe, Malta im interested in coding and I want to become a digital Nomad. Any tips on which is the best coding language to learn to land a job? How do you find work as a freelance digital nomad?
i know this comment is very late and you probably wont see it, but if you do.
the first question i had was, if you had a fully remote job in usa and were living in europe, do you have to pay the tax percentages for usa or for the country youre currently in, and how do you do so?
second question is how many hours approximately do you work a day?
Is age a considering factor of becoming a digital nomad? Im almost 40, have some savings, but scared i wont have a steady income stream
is it possible to work remotely more than 1 company as a software engineer? if yes, then how? if no, thank you. 🙂
Hey, nice video. I am currently taking a bootcamp to become a Fullstack Web Dev learning JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Node.js, MongoDB and React, so a lot. I am currently asking myself whether to work at a company first for maybe a year, get some experience and save some money or trying to go freelance right away. According to you, I could just go for freelancing right away. Do you have any more advice? Thanks 🙂
Just passed trial period on my New job as a software developer. Working in office For now – our company policy is that employees are more productive when they're working in office. And i can see how – recently i was working from home (i've been ill so they allowed me to work that way). My productivity was way lower. I was slacking here or there and disrupted frequently. And im in st petersburg. Cant imagine me working some where in thailand and not f-ing up deadlines:)
Can you give me some advice? How you stay organized and disciplined?
So it’s better to get some clients and then go to travel ?
Or the opposite ?
