I wrote many years ago about whether or not digital nomadism is all it's cracked up to be. It has a glossy reputation that the reality doesn't (always) quite live up to. I think you make some great points in this article, really enjoyed the read. Oh, and congrats on the CNN feature, fellas!
This, to me, ties in with Balaji Srinivasan’s discussion about achieving personal freedoms. The governments that understand and cater to the segment of people with certain values (e.g. digital nomads or vagabonders) will disproportionately draw them as more and more people realize their geographical flexibility.

You bring up a good point, Brent,that costs do gonup everywhere. The simple truth is that after living in Seattle, one of the more expensive places to live, you experienced reverse sticker shock when you begin nomadding. The longer you stay away from Seattle the less likely you will afford to live there again.
It's already happened. We're SHOCKED every time we go home. We could afford it, I guess, but we don't want to make the huge financial sacrifices anymore...

Thank you! Like all things, there are pros and cons, but I'm still a big fan of nomading. 🙂
