The good, bad and ugly of life as a digital nomad | Letters

A reader reflects on an article about the challenges of working from no fixed location, also known as digital nomadism. The reader argues that the problems mentioned in the article, such as slow internet and feeling disconnected, are universal issues that existed before the concept of digital nomadism. These issues are symptoms of modern times and require collective solutions. The reader suggests that running back to an office environment won't solve these problems. Digital nomads don't aim to recreate their old life in a new place, but rather to find new ways to cope with their personal issues. The Roman poet Horace once said that people who move to a new place still carry their problems and personal histories with them. The reader believes that our task is to find psychologically healthy ways to deal with these challenges. The article's stories of digital nomads highlight the importance of finding meaningful ways to cope with the difficulties of this lifestyle. The reader emphasizes that digital nomadism is not the cause of these problems, but rather a reflection of the issues of our time. Ultimately, the reader suggests that we need to work together to find solutions to these universal challenges.
