Top 5 Digital Nomad Cities of 2018

The flexible nature of remote working has made it possible for many people to travel and explore new places — or at least reclaim their old wanderlust. That has led to an increase in digital nomads, as millennial and Gen Z workers seek new experiences outside of traditional career-track jobs at companies like Google or Apple. Often, these workers are also looking to balance the travel lifestyle with their work and life commitments.
