People Who Travel Just to Work Remotely in Different Airbnbs

Why stay home when you can pay $300 a night to take Zoom calls in a themed yurt?

People Who Travel Just to Work Remotely in Different Airbnbs

They’ve cracked the code: why suffer through your soul-sucking job from one overpriced apartment when you can suffer through it from 20 overpriced Airbnbs with questionable WiFi?

1. They call themselves “digital nomads” but spend 90% of their time indoors whispering “Can you hear me now?”

2. Their backgrounds change weekly–first a jungle hut, then a pirate-themed treehouse, now a hobbit hole with no outlets.

3. They claim to embrace minimalism, but travel with three ring lights and a standing desk that folds “kind of.”

4. They’ve perfected the art of cropping out the Airbnb host’s aggressive parrot.

5. “I’m living intentionally” they say, while working 14-hour days on a bed made of milk crates.

6. They pick Airbnbs based solely on whether the kitchen backsplash looks good on Instagram.

7. They’ve never met their coworkers, but have bonded deeply with the six lizards that live in their Costa Rican bathroom.

8. Their carbon footprint could crush a small country, but don’t worry, they offset it with a single succulent.

9. “I work from anywhere” they say–except during the 3-hour blackout window in Belize.

10. Their internet speed is directly proportional to how much they brag about being “off the grid but still hustling.”

11. They’ve become fluent in complaining about Airbnb cleaning fees in three languages.

12. They claim to be global citizens but panic if the Airbnb doesn’t have oat milk.

13. They don’t have a home, just a collection of quirky bathroom selfies from 18 countries.

14. Their lifestyle is one part freedom, nine parts laptop neck.

15. They’ve spent $17,000 to live like a broke backpacker… with a MacBook.
