Interesting... "digital nomads" are beginning to have real societal and economic impacts in the countries they occupy. A new age problem where IT workers are living abroad for periods of time with disproportionate spending power over the locals, driving housing and living costs in the area. I'm gonna guess it was much less of an issue pre-covid but now there's entire offices worth of people moving around for periods of work abroad.

It's real. For my part, I just asked my boss if it was OK to work from OS for six months.
How do I convince my boss to let me WFO (work from overseas)?

Working from home is commonplace now, but bosses might need a bit more convincing to allow you to log in from overseas, writes Dr Kirstin Ferguson.

@Wyvernsridge Digital nomad isn't a new thing, but the very real impacts on countries popular for remote working are. That's the part I'm calling out. I'd never considered the scale of this lifestyle and the effect it can have on communities abroad.
