1997

In 1997 Tsugio Makimoto and David Manners wrote “The Digital Nomad.” Their book makes clear that Digital Nomads, also called expatriates, both love to travel but take it up a notch because they work online and live in different countries for months or years!

$1k-$2K

Monthly living expenses can range from $1k to $2k, depending on lifestyle and the location.

50%

Digital nomads are mostly comprised of millennials or those in their mid-20s to early-40s; a study also shows that half of digital nomads worldwide are in their 30s.

8 Million

There are more than 8 million expats today living overseas. The reasons can be as many and as varied as the number of people who have left the US. A main reason someone would take up citizenship or residency in another country is business or fortune. It is a viable reason that the lure of opportunity in a foreign endeavor could pull or persuade some to leave.

50s

Although 50% of Expats are in their 30s, many in their 50s are also a large part of digital nomads, some even turning digital nomads after retirement!
