Digital nomads are workers who often work remotely from places to places. They do not have a permanent base. Because of technology and globalization, this kind of work style and lifestyle has become more popular.
One problem that digital nomads have is sometimes, they can’t stay for as long as they want in one place because of visa restrictions.
But, in some Caribbean Islands, this won’t be a problem anymore. They have a new visa program for digital nomads.

I think it will be a very good experience as a worker but just for a maximun 1 or 2 years, in my opinion the work in the vacacion places dissmis the position to stay on holidays. I need to change to enjoy de vacation time.
But I’m like to prove it in the future, why not?
The hard things… maybe too much hot all days? but i think it have no too much problem for me if I’ll have a swimingpool close (or sea)

There are many good reasons. To live in a paradise island where the weather is always warm will be like being in vacation for the whole year (in spite of the working hours). The hard thing is to change all the family way of living (schools, universities, my husband’s work,…) and being away from my parents, sister and all the rest of my family.
