So I currently work in water treatment (not something I can be a digital nomad in). I’m 27 years old. I was thinking of moving to Barcelona and maybe working as a remote customer service agent for a u.s airlines part-time while there. It would be a huge pay cut of over 50%, but I really want to try it. I already speak Spanish and I would just need to find a flat. Theoretically, I could just not work and live on savings, but I feel like having a job would give me a good balance in my life. Have any of you guys done something like this before? Taken a pay cut to be a nomad? Any advice?
When I tell people this plan, they look at me like I’m crazy. I guess I kindof feel like childish a bit, because I didn’t get the opportunity to study abroad when I was in university and I feel like I wanna do something similar before I’m 30.
You’re not really nomading if you’re just going to one place and then heading back home. You’re looking to live in Barcelona for a year. Would I take a year off to do this? No, I’d much rather visit 12 cities in that time.
