WHEN NOMADS FLOCK TOGETHER • As a nomad you care about more than just the best local coffee spot and good wi-fi. You consider your impact, both environmentally, and on local people. Now, you want to integrate yourself into local communities to make more of a difference, and you're seeking other nomads to talk about ‘nomad things’ with. Enter, digital nomad communities.

INSIDE DIGITAL NOMAD COMMUNITIES • There is always a challenge for digital nomads regardless of their location. When they arrive in a new place, they do not know anyone so may feel lonely and lost. Making friends and integrating into a community can be difficult. That's where founders of every community are working hard to fill the gap. We let founders of six different communities share their values, philosophies, stories, experiences, challenges, and goals themselves. You'll learn about the motivations for creating them, the ideas behind them, and how they developed into thriving networks. Perhaps this article will encourage you to join one.
