This statistic undermines the romantic idea of entrepreneurs packing their suncream and Mac and making it as a Digital Nomad. The above study also revealed the majority of remote workers (35%) are employed by a company with a fixed salary, as opposed to being a freelancer (28%) or owning their own business (18%).

These employers may well go on to become freelancers or business owners. However, this vital statistic evidences our point that the majority of successful DN’s create their nomadic lifestyle through their home employer. That is also logical as many employers may have already been working from home in Europe or the US. Therefore, the conversation of asking to work and travel remotely was not a big step for them with their current employer.
