To become a digital nomad is much more than traveling around the world with your laptop in your backpack while working for your clients or your company. Moreover, it is essential to keep in mind that there are a series of tips that can significantly help us have a better experience and fulfill all our obligations all our work obligations while exploring the world. In this article, we share some of the best recommendations we can offer you.

A data plan, the key 

One of the main aspects you should consider is that having internet from the moment you land at your next destination is essential in terms of user experience. To achieve this, you have several options, but the main ones involve buying a local SIM card or subscribing to an eSIM like the one you can find at Blink eSIM. 

Our eSIM allows you to have unlimited internet at 5G speed every day with a flat rate of €3.50 per day.. This way, you won’t have to worry about the data you consume, as everything will be included. You’ll be able to continue working normally, sharing data from your smartphone.

Make sure you can work from comfortable places

Although working from the beach or a terrace can sound very idyllic, the reality is quite different. That’s why we recommend you avoid traveling without having properly planned where you will be able to sit with your laptop for several hours in a comfortable manner.

You must make sure to have outlets handy, even if you’re used to your laptop battery lasting several hours. Also, it should be a well-lit place and, if possible, quiet. Ultimately, it’s about replicating as much as possible everything you can find at home, but directly on your next trip.

Hire a good travel insurance

One of the most common mistakes we make when traveling is not hiring a good travel insurance. If we are going to telecommute from any other part of the European Union, it is highly likely that the destination country will cover all healthcare expenses if we have the European Health Insurance Card. In this case, we wouldn’t have many issues, although it’s always good to gather information to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

However, everything changes if we are going to work from any other continent. In these cases, Europeans don’t always have medical coverage. and, if we have it, it is quite limited. So, the best thing you can do is to hire a policy that covers both emergencies and hospitalization. 

Use a card to withdraw money for free

In Spain, we are used to the fact that in the vast majority of places, we have the opportunity to pay with a credit card, regardless of the amount. However, this doesn't mean it's the norm in other countries. In fact, it isn't. It's not necessary to leave Europe for payments to be more restricted, as they are in our own continent.

Currently, you have access to a large number of cards offered by digital banks that allow you to withdraw money almost anywhere in the world completely for free. Take advantage of them to save on fees while you’re abroad.
