Traveling the world and still working and sustaining your financial needs with this lifestyle is a dream for a lot of us. However, for Annette, this is her reality - living life as a digital nomad. To define a digital nomad, these individuals travel regularly and do technology-based jobs through personal online business or virtually working for employers.

Annette is originally from Germany, and her first step to establishing this lifestyle as a digital nomad is to work in Australia with a working holiday visa. Time passed, and she had the opportunity to move to New Zealand, and from there, her adventure furthered.

When Annette reached her bank account's extent, she went back to Germany, but another opportunity greeted her when she got a job as an online freelance life coach. After just a month in Germany, Annette successfully left her country again, and this time, she could freely go from one country to another without worrying about her career.

As a digital nomad, Annette still had battles of her own. She shared how as a digital nomad, finding a balance between work and traveling has left her confounded in the beginning because who wants to travel while working, right? Adjusting to a new place could be overwhelming; moreover, there are many distractions you can't easily ignore. To Annette, leaving Germany was a breath of fresh air. What made her commit to a digital nomad lifestyle is her mindset that life is simple but must be lived to the fullest.
