Episode description

Is the digital nomad lifestyle sustainable for the planet, indigenous cultures, and nomads themselves?

Some people accuse digital nomads and the lifestyle they bring with them of gentrifying impacted nomad hubs, raising the local cost of living, pushing out local businesses, and being culturally insensitive.

But is it justified? What are the facts? What can digital nomads do to minimize their global footprint?

In this episode Jeff and Marisa use data and personal experiences to help answer these questions. You can interact with the Beach Commute team on this topic by sending an email to hello@beachcommute.com
