I took a 6-month 'sabbatical' after months of cheap living while traveling. The best thing about the digital-nomad lifestyle is having options.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Julia Masselos, a 26-year-old from London. Insider verified her income with documentation. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
I knew what I wanted to do was quit, even though it was against conventional wisdom. Years ago, when I was 16, I'd come across a Facebook page for digital nomads. I saw people living a totally alternate life and traveling the world. I knew I had to try it out.I quit my job in July 2019 with nothing lined up. I decided to live in the moment and not worry about the future. I worked for a few weeks at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
We operated asynchronously, with a policy to allow 24 hours for a colleague to reply to a Slack message. That freedom took a whole year to get used to. I could be offline from 5 p.m., sunbathing, for example, and start work again at 8 p.m. There was no one watching my hours. It alleviated a lot of stress.I was put in contact with a friend of a friend who was looking for a roommate. I ended up living with him in a village for six months, where I saved more than half my income.
There was also a midterm rental accommodation space and a free coworking space. Everyone there was in the mindset of wanting autonomy. It was inspiring.I started freelancing using Upwork
