Most of you have probably heard of the concept 'digital nomads' as in recent years it has slowly begun to turn into a global trend. However, do we know who digital nomads are, what they do, and what way of life they relish?

Modern-day or digital nomads are freelancers (mostly young people), whose nature of the job allows them to work from anywhere on the planet. They do not have fixed working hours, and they work according to the needs of the project or job they are currently working on. Most digital nomads are engaged in modern IT jobs such as programming, graphic design, but also numerous branches of digital marketing. They could be found working from all around the world, from cafes, libraries, beaches, offices, co-living spaces, etc.

There are many reasons why someone opts for a nomadic lifestyle. While some are looking for adventure, others are looking for cheaper living expenses or simply want to expand their business contacts by meeting people around the world.

Just like in the rest of the world this trend of digital nomads has also become popular in Europe for example, where countries such as Estonia, Portugal, Greece, and Croatia accepted the initiation of the project of digital nomad visas. This has been seen as a good chance to attract year-round visitors and hopefully boost the tourism industries of the countries, which have been heavily affected and weakened by the COVID19 pandemic.

Mexico appears to have it all for digital nomads working and traveling. Extremely low living costs, fantastic year-round weather, and a plethora of adventurous and dreamy locations to visit. Whether you're a seasoned remote worker or just starting, you might be interested in what the land of tequila and tacos has to offer digital nomads.
 
While Mexico has advantageous regulations that allow residents from other nations to visit and work remotely from practically anywhere inside the country, it does not offer a particular remote work visa. It does enable many foreigners to visit the country with a six-month visa and has extremely simple temporary residence requirements. It is also worth noting that Mexico is near to the Caribbean, making visa runs or exploring other areas in the region quite simple.
 
A treasure of a country with plenty of diversity in exploration and experiences, from the glittering, deep cenotes of the Yucatán to the lush, green forests of Chiapas. Whether you're looking for a culturally rich trip in Oaxaca City or a spiritual beach getaway in Tulum, you may find almost every type of travel experience short of snowy ski runs. Are you an experienced diver? Cozumel's azure blue seas are a must-see. Looking for an LGBTQ-friendly party location? Then look no farther than Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific Coast. Then there are the cities, notably Mexico City (CDMX), which are teeming with life and activity.
 
Quality telecommunications infrastructure is at the top of every digital nomad's list when choosing a host country. Since 2017 the telecommunications reform brought tangible benefits, several internet providers offer different speeds, prices, and quality of internet service giving most cafes, bars, restaurants, public libraries the ability to offer free Wifi/internet connection making telecommunications widely available.

When choosing the country, they want to come to, nomads choose countries with distinctive configurations so that they can make the best use of their time and combine work, leisure, and pleasure. The great advantage of working via the Internet is that you can change the environment as you wish. In this sense, Mexico is an absolutely good choice! The diversity of its nature and cultural heritage is enormous and it can be a real thing to discover of the working hours. Many ex-pats who live here can prove this. 

Mexican coasts, both Pacific and Atlantic, are indisputably one of the main attractions, with more than 50 beaches positioned along its coasts. Most of these beaches have beach bars and cocktail bars located nearby, some of them are hidden and untouched.
 
Most digital nomads look for quiet and relaxed places. In most of Mexico, you can get this. Mexican cities are busy and loud from time to time, but if you choose your living location wisely, this won't be a problem at all! Numerous rural areas are quite accessible and very close to cities. This provides you with both, peace and quiet as well as proximity to all necessary contents for daily living. Beautiful nature is all around, so once you finish with work, you can explore and enjoy.
