A New Adventure as a Digital Nomad
From today, I begin a new adventure. It has been a while since I wanted to put down in black and white a fundamental part of my life that I care a lot about.
I have always enjoyed sharing the tech side of my work, and I will continue to do so, but now I feel the need to also share the human aspect behind everything.
Since last year, I have fallen under the definition of a digital nomad (although I prefer just nomad) as I have effectively begun to travel and work while staying away from home for entire months.
Sharing and dialogue with me are a fundamental aspect of life, like work, in which I have always given importance by explaining and making my projects (and those of the entire Italian tech ecosystem with the Italia Open-Source community) accessible. Now, however, I would like to share what I know about travel, specifically, travel as a digital nomad.
Yes, I know you’re thinking “another one” and it’s true, there are many who talk about it and are much more experienced than me, but firstly this is a project that stimulates me and so I do it for myself. Secondly, I want to share my experiences and not only, hope that they can help someone and ignite a spark or start a dialogue that enriches everyone.
What you will find in the On the Road column
The name is obvious, right, I know! But it comes from a book that when I read for the first time changed my life, On the Road is a novel by Jack Kerouac in which he narrates a part of his life made of trips from one coast to the other of America knowing, exploring, immersing himself in life.
But so, when will I start and where will I share? but above all what will I share?
Let’s start with what. What I will do will simply be to share:
- Tools, resources, and best practices to travel safely and in full immersion
- How to plan road trips and advice on the places visited
- My experiences and those of other digital nomads with food for thought
When I don’t have an answer now, but, I will publish whenever I have something interesting to say.
Finally, for where I initially thought of writing articles on my blog, in the future we will see.
To whom is it addressed? It is aimed at everyone who wants to take inspiration, who is a beginner, who is an expert in creating a dialogue, who wants advice on destinations and useful resources, but above all who wants to travel enjoying the nature and culture of each place.
I don’t pretend to teach anything, I just want to share and start a dialogue.
Pack your backpack
This first article is just a small introduction to what the column will be, a column that will adapt, and evolve both in form and content.
So sit back and pack your backpack to leave, as new articles and new adventures will arrive. I will talk about slow travel, how to reconcile work and travel, programming and randomness, and much more.
Thank you for getting this far, see you in the next article 💚
