Digital Nomads
Life is unpredictable. It makes sense to be prepared.
What does it mean to be a digital nomad?
Aside from just being bohemian version of remote workers, digital nomads are people who live itinerant lives, traveling from place to place while working via telecommunication and other modern technologies. Their goal is to live nomadically and to work on their own terms.
Safety concerns for female digital nomads
While this type of life is enviable, it definitely comes with its own set of safety concerns, just as any type of solo traveling would. Especially if you are someone who identifies as a woman or as a nonbinary person, this lifestyle requires you to be vigilant and to take necessary precautions.
Ending Up In a Dangerous Location
Going to new places is one of the most exciting things someone could do, but it also means you’re going to be faced with unfamiliar situations. So next time you’re doing your research on what Oslo or Nairobi or Kyoto is like to live in, make sure to update HelpYouFind.Me with vital information your family can use to help you if you find yourself in danger.
Facing Issues In a Strange Place
One of the most worrisome parts of traveling to places is not knowing what to do in case of emergency, or what the legal processes of a new country are. While Google can give you a general overview, it’s definitely more relieving knowing that people you trust are also capable of delivering you to safety if necessary.
Getting Into an Emergency Situation
Regardless of how much planning you put into your travels, you can’t predict everything and may find yourself in an emergency situation. This is why it can be reassuring to use HYF.M’s secure and encrypted services to update your loved ones along your travels so they know where to go if you’re in trouble.
Absence of Instant Communication
Though this may seem a tad ironic given the nature of digital nomads’ jobs, it’s still a possibility as each place you travel to carries the risk of having inadequate WiFi or cell reception. While this is mainly more perilous for your work, it can also prove troublesome if you find yourself in a risky situation and are unable to notify anyone. Good thing your loved ones can help law enforcement locate you using the life-saving information you entrusted to them.
You never know what could happen.
Unpredictability is inherent to any form of solo-traveling or nomadic lifestyle, but this doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared. Share life-saving information with those you love and trust today so you can be ready for any situation.
