You see it all over Instagram, digital nomads working from exotic beaches with a mojito in their right hand while they smile down at their laptop. The digital nomad life has been painted as this fairytale lifestyle. Feeding people the false perception that being able to work from ANYWHERE in the world means all your problems disappear.
