I have the luxury of a designated setup in an apartment that I own, and I enjoy 1 week to 2 month working excursions, but I always love coming back to 'my' desk. I don't think I deserve the title of digital nomad, because while I enjoy traveling a cumulative average of 3 months/year, I consider being a digital nomad as being on the move 11+ months/year. ‍ Are you a digital nomad or rather a remote worker?

At first I started out on a part-time remote basis, which means I would work independently for most of the week, but my boss and I met up at a restaurant or coffee shop to work together once a week (usually Wednesdays). I've worked remotely since 2013, a few months after I officially graduated from college (I finished my degree early, so I went back for the ceremony in 2013). ‍ Rachel, how long have you been working remotely? Her advice for aspiring remote workers is simple, yet powerful - sometimes all you have to do is to just reach out and ask. Rachel, Content and Social Media Manager at Hubstaff, followed her dream to work with freedom straight out of college.

For some, it's more about finding a healthy balance between work and private life. Remote work isn't always that much about being constantly on the move.
