Working online whilst traveling the world sounds like a dream job for many people. But what exactly is a digital nomad? Pete and Supi live as digital nomads.
They travel the world permanently, work on the road and are always online. Their lives epitomize the digital revolution and how it is changing how we work live.
Many people dream of living and working on the road – a dream that has come true for Pete and Supi. Driven by a passion for travel, they set out to escape the dreary routine of everyday life. They want to achieve maximum self-fulfilment without big safety nets and full-cover insurance, in a nomadic world of adventure. Pete is a DJ, so parties and big cities are a defining part of his life, whereas Suparni aka Supi is the opposite; she’s looking for spirituality and awareness. The two show us the huge spectrum of opportunities that the world of the digital nomad has to offer. Despite their fundamental differences, they both earn their living by working remotely. The digital age has made this way of life possible: without the Internet, it would be almost unthinkable. But their lifestyle does have its limits, as is becoming especially evident to Suparni with her plans for parenthood. But it’s hard to find someone you love who also loves the same sort of lifestyle, and the constant travel is a big obstacle.

it's always the 3rd world country where they setup their lifestyle. where supi is at could be bali or somewhere in indonesia.
Travelling has definitely helped me set up my own business and now running a gardening one in the UK. It's nice to know that there are places to venture to when things go quiet during the winter months
Covid kind of put brakes on traveling. Hopefully back to some kind of normal soon .
Advertising on the public sponsored channel is unacceptable.
hi from Mexico. Great expose about the digital nomad lifestyle! We make creative vids mostly about life here in Mexico..
Like downgrading from a car to a bicycle and calling that an improvement
This is so ugly. they never respect locals.
if you can work online you do not need to travel, these lying hippies mostly thieves and drug addict. and they are NOT happy. Please stop spreading lies, kids might believe this.
05:32 I'm drinking some fresh coconut juice and I'll put it back on the table without taking my eyes from the computer because I need to pretend I'm focused on working…
Iam an fulltime freelance artist, i love to work at home. Sometimes i really want to traveling, but for now i priorities to earn and save money to buy my own house. But will planing after that for go to another country.
Rather inspiring. Tired going into work five days of week with office cliques and incompetent bosses. I've tried settling and being practical, but it hasn't been working out for me. The white picket fence isn't for everybody.
this is the real dream. total autonomy. no lease. no car payment.
How come changed this, please continue it
Hello 2021
What is her limit?
COVID CAME TO CHANGE ALL OF THAT!! 😀😂🤣😅
why are they nomading only to 3rd world countries?
it is for the people who want to make a big money but they somehow cant, so they move to 3rd world and play rich there….
I lived in hotel rooms for a few years, even in my hometown when I was back there. I had no permanent place. It sounds exciting, but it also gets strange after a long time.
doesnt look like any of these jobs freedoms can be extended to other regular office jobs. although i believe regular office jobs need to have a paradigmn shift and employers need to recognise this.

The best lifestyle for me … having a job with good enough work/life balance ; and that gives me enough holidays per year so that I can enjoy seeing the world whilst I maintain the security of having a job, a circle of friends and a place I call home waiting for me between travels. I'm longing for nothing more than this.
Those bums work more than you and me, their lifes suck
its not work it is degradation
Messing up other's country
14:35 Who needs a good keyboard if you are a digital nomad…. 🤦♂️
yeah and they all care of the world, eat veggie and need apple accessories. What a twats.
Dutifully sitting at the beach, staring at a screen.
very inspirative ….lots of energy, lots of fun..I think that so many inspiring people could meet in this way of life. offcourse, many great business ideas..
Being paid in ethereum in 2018/2019, this man must be balling now! ETH just reached a new all time high
Very nice Documentary DW. It would be nice if you produced a follow up documentary to find out how these and other Digital Nomads coped during the Pandemic.
Here in Brazil we're returning to work at office. Aff.
Exactly…"u don't get a safe place when u hv a bad day"..why u still do it anyway..
so basically a documentary just a about people who make documentaries…..
..and…where are the children?…
10:07 his employees are rich now
These people were beta testing WFH before all hell broke loose.
I personally need a consistent surrounding, a comfortable chair, and endless supply of coffee to keep myself productive. I’ve tried working from Bali for a week, it was nice, but couldn’t produce a real work. i’d rather spend a week in bali for holiday then go back to my office.
Lol my god these people are a joke
This documentary was so ahead of its times. Amazing job DW. So relevant in 2021
The rich nomads, I've met a few of them on my journey through Camino Santiago. They just had a significant figure in their bank, and they had been travelling forever. Just talking about how they met new people from day to day. Those people lived by no ones deadline. I envy that.
You are a vegan who run vegan blog, you do spiritual practicing and believe you are an influencer. What on earth makes you believe you can find a man on that age you are now. You look old and singel men will ofc goes for younger woman. The posibility of you finding a man now is too late.
Parentless life style ofc.
I can literally do the same, as my girlfriend already work over internet and I, in my family company, can work over internet as well. But atleast I got a real job, she is just ruining a vegan blog and doing shitposts lol.
Well depends how you want your life to be.But I think most people decide to this kind of step because it is popular.People nowadays tend to do what most people do.That became a thing since Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram and so on.For me it was interesting to see when there was a few people doing this.Now is quite boring.
