What exactly is a digital nomad?

A digital nomad is defined by the below….

(n) People who have the freedom to work from anywhere on the planet with an internet connection. 

In a nutshell, if you have a skill that can be used online to earn money, you can become a Digital Nomad. This means that, as long as you have a strong internet connection, you can work from anywhere – whether that’s from a beach in Bali to the coffee shops of Chiang Mai! read here to find out more on exactly what a digital nomad is.

How do I become a TEFL digital nomad?

Essentially, all that you need to become a TEFL digital nomad is to:

  • Have passed at least 120 hours of internationally-recognised TEFL training (like ours!). Ideally, you’d have more than 120 hours, but this is the bare essential.
  • You’ll need access to a good internet connection. Many digital nomads work from wifi in cafes and bars, but make sure you choose wisely as strong wifi is key!
  • You’ll also obviously need the right equipment to conduct lessons – so a laptop with a headset and microphone piece is essential too.
  • A sense of adventure! A bit cringe we know, but to make it travelling continuously, you’ll need a real love of moving around and not necessarily making roots in each place you visit.

With these 4 things in the bag, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be booking flights and getting more than a little bit excited!
