5 Reasons the EC Should Be Your Digital Nomad Landing Spot in 2021

As more companies see the benefits of permanent remote work, the “digital nomadic lifestyle” has skyrocketed in popularity. According to a study by Zillow Group Inc. and Yelp Inc. The number of traditional employees working as digital nomads grew by 96% in 2020.

What is a digital nomad? Digital nomads are remote workers who usually travel to different locations and embrace a technology lifestyle. Because of their flexibility to be able to work from wherever they want, they can usually be found in coffee shops or cowork spaces.

Transitioning to this new style of work is becoming more of the norm as companies witness the benefits of working from home for both leaders and employees. In January, National Association for Business Economics reported that only 1 in 10 companies expected all of their employees to return to work with the same office arrangements they left with pre-pandemic, and 11 million Americans already identify with the digital nomad lifestyle.

And for a digital nomad looking for the next best place to live, work and play, Nashville is a perfect landing spot. Earlier this year, our city was ranked no. 4 destination spot for ‘digital nomads’ by Zillow for its business-friendly attitude, low cost of living, and exciting social scene.
