"I've been a digital nomad since 2010, working as a writer and online English teacher. Over the years, I've traveled through more than 30 countries, across five continents, powered by thousands of WiFi networks. But early on, I realized that speedy travel wasn't for me. Some nomads thrive on fast-paced trips, blending work with back-to-back flights and new destinations every few days. I found it exhausting."
"Traveling across Southeast Asia with only a few days in each stop left me drained, while hopping around India quickly felt unfulfilling. I only hit my stride when I slowed down. Spending three months each in four different towns in Latin America gave me balance. Eight months in Grenada felt just right. A year split between a town in Egypt and a city in Israel brought me real stability."
Cait Charles has worked as a digital nomad since 2010, traveling through more than 30 countries and five continents while working as a writer and online English teacher. Fast-paced travel left her drained and unfulfilled, so she adopted a slower approach, staying months at a time. Spending three months each in multiple Latin American towns, eight months in Grenada, and a year between Egypt and Israel created stability. Slowmadism involves rotating between a handful of home bases. Slowing down reduces stress, eases loneliness, helps build community and routine, and makes securing reliable internet and sustaining nomadic life more feasible.
