4 YEARS AS A DIGITAL NOMAD with Nick Danforth
For some people, the idea of traveling the world while working remotely may seem like a dream. But for Nick Danforth, it has been a reality for the past four years. As a digital nomad, Danforth has been able to combine his love for travel with his career, allowing him to work from anywhere in the world.
Danforth’s journey as a digital nomad began four years ago when he decided to leave his traditional office job and pursue a more flexible work lifestyle. Armed with a laptop and a strong internet connection, he set out on his adventure, not knowing where it would take him.
Since then, Danforth has traveled to over 20 countries, experiencing different cultures, cuisines, and landscapes along the way. From bustling cities to tranquil beach towns, he has explored a wide range of destinations, all while continuing to excel in his professional endeavors.
One of the biggest challenges Danforth faced as a digital nomad was finding a balance between work and travel. It can be tempting to spend all of your time exploring new locations, but Danforth quickly learned that establishing a routine and setting boundaries were crucial for maintaining productivity.
“I’ve found that having a dedicated workspace and sticking to a schedule helps me stay focused and efficient,” Danforth says. “It’s important to treat work like work, even when you’re in a beautiful new location.”
Despite the challenges, Danforth has found the freedom and flexibility of the digital nomad lifestyle to be incredibly rewarding. He has had the opportunity to work from some of the most stunning and inspiring places on earth, allowing him to find motivation and creativity in his surroundings.
In addition to the personal and professional growth that comes with traveling as a digital nomad, Danforth has also gained a deeper appreciation for the world and its diverse cultures. He has met people from all walks of life, broadening his perspective and enriching his experiences.
As Danforth reflects on his four years as a digital nomad, he encourages others to consider taking the leap and embracing this unique way of living and working.
“Being a digital nomad isn’t always easy, but the rewards far outweigh the challenges,” Danforth says. “If you have the opportunity to explore the world while pursuing your career, I highly recommend it. It’s an adventure like no other.”

another useless toad of someone who wants to tell other people how todo something to get money, without having any skill, this guy has no substance. literally, everything he said, a child could say
Wow this video is amazing. It got better every minute ❤
The beach is over where? I thought you were in Chang Mai?!
Great video but.. what happened to his eyebrow? =)
Great video. I love the relaxed vibe and setup 🙂 I was wondering—have you ever traveled with a partner/lover? My partner and I share tips on our channel for managing love life + traveling + working together as a DIGITAL NOMAD COUPLE. We are always looking for inspiration, feedback and ideas for more content, so feel free to ask, advice, and suggest. Have an amazing day!
Such a great conversation. Thanks for sharing guys!
I like your videos. I grew up as a military brat and I have seen and have been to some of these places when I was very young. I see the glamour of it in your videos. I have also seen some really bad things that you would never see in the states or even in Europe for that matter. But, as technology changes and things change. I am not sure if this type of lifestyle/work May change, evolve or just simply go away.
I would love to do it and I hope people are very successful, but it seems risky and gimmicky.
One of the best interviews!!!!!!!!, how do you make it look so easy, I would like to chat with you Chris, please let me have your email.
Hi Chris, i've been living this lifestyle for 2 years now and on going.. and doing well.. let's get in touch
I could listen to that dude talk all day, wow! Very very insightful! This is one of my favorites that you've put out Chris. Thank you for sharing!
How long did you live on the Island in Kohlanta? How often did you leave
the island? I lived in Mexico for a year and a half, so I know about
cultural differences. It's harder to learn Thai than Spanish though.
Where was this video recorded? You mentioned being near the beach.
So Awesome!!!!
I think by looking this videos i will soon get to be like you guys so thank for it.
great videos … very interesting and inspiring. ..
look, I have never been out of the country, so traveling abroad would be nice for me, teach me how to code , so i can enjoyed being a digital nomad
In Thailand how is your life there effected by the political and social turmoil in the country? Why do digital nomads feel safe working in a country where people are jailed for social media posts? VPN or not, that's a very distressing trend.
Interesting interviews, thanks for sharing.
I'm visiting Bangkok soon. Is the experience and ppl there much different from the city you are at now?
+Chris the Freelancer congrats on almost 3000 subs
good job chris
Good points about staying longer in a place and community. Haven't heard other newbies mention this. Notice he doesn't have a vlog. Too busy working and living. EDITED. Oh he does have a vlog. Late to it though.
A few questions for you guys. Really would appreciate some honest feedback.
1. How early is early adopter? I started working abroad in 2001. Living fully abroad and running my business since 2007. There was no "digital nomad" scene, just online entrepreneurs like Yaro Starak and online resources like digitalpoint, freelancer.com, and sitepoint.com.
2. With all these nomad communities popping up, how much do you integrate with the local community? Because of my connection to my adopted communities and friends I was able to learn Japanese and Spanish. Total immersion. I would feel sad that I traveled across the world only to spend all the time in an ex-pat bubble.
3. Haven't come across any videos where digital nomads discuss the more restrictive visa rules in countries like Thailand. This is a crucial looming concern with travelers I've met.
Thanks in advance and safe travels.
Very good mate! Been with you from the very beginning and really enjoy your videos. Hope I will be in your shoes soon!
Such a good interview – Nick's POV on self-awareness & making sure you find your own "way" in terms of what works for you and/or makes you happy (which can be applied to any lifestyle too) is really sound – not many people touch on it 'cause they're wrapped up in the glamour. Heaps good :).
