What inspired you to become a digital nomad?

I got bored of living in Brisbane (Australia) and wanted to be a part of this new movement.

What inspired me most were co-working spaces like Hubud and KoHub where digital nomads connected.

There are many positives to becoming a digital nomad but what I've learned after 2 years is that it's the choice that matters. Being able to choose to work from anywhere is the real goal, not the act of being a digital nomad itself.
