Is The Digital Nomad Dream Still Alive?

It’s been a few years since I wrote about being a digital nomad, I still travel the world and live a life based on experiences. But, the question that is on my mind is: 'Is it still viable to run an online business as a digital nomad?'

This statement caught my eye and actually inspired me to write this post "You can't build an entrepreneurial empire whilst living out of a suitcase".
