Stay connected to like-minded people and make new friends
As the life of a digital nomad can be lonely and isolating, connecting with people who follow a similar lifestyle to you can be comforting. There are different ways to find and connect with other location-independent workers:
- Social media: Platforms such as Facebook make finding other digital nomads a simple task. Search the site for digital nomad groups in your destination or general groups such as Digital Nomads Around the World or The Solo Female Traveller Network.
- Cafes, co-working spaces, and libraries: Working from your apartment or villa can be wonderful, but it can also be lonely, and, quite frankly, dull. Check out local cafes, co-working spaces, and libraries, and you’re bound to find other location-independent workers, tapping away on their keyboards. Co-working spaces often hold workshops and events, which are great ways to meet other people.
- Hostels: For a long time, hostels have been a popular choice for digital nomads and travelers alike. They’re cheap, fun, and often offer a great range of facilities. Those who lean more towards the extrovert end of the social scale will find hostels to be a fun way to socialize and meet new people in a new country.
- Coliving houses: If you’re intending to stay in a destination for an extended period, consider renting a room in a coliving house. People tend to stick around in such places a little longer than in hostels, making it easier to form deeper connections and friendships. However, they tend to be pretty expensive
