Digital nomads, this emerging way of life is reshaping our understanding of work and life. Tao Tao, a post-90s girl, is an active practitioner of this kind of life, and she uses digital technology to travel around the country, working and experiencing a different life at the same time.
Tao Taoyuan is a busy ** worker, working all year round, which makes her yearn for a slow-paced and free life. Until the beginning of 2023, she made a big decision: she left her stable job and officially embarked on the journey of digital nomad. This decision stems from her strong desire to live freely, but also out of her weariness of the traditional, fixed mode of working.
Digital nomads are those who work on the move around the world and do not have a fixed office space. They often use digital devices and networks to get their work done, making them flexible. This has become a popular career choice for young people born in the 90s and 00s, according to the survey, about 764% of post-00s said they would like to become digital nomads.

Looking back on this experience, Momo feels that this may be the most correct decision she has made in her life so far. In the past, she was bound to the traditional work mode, but this trip to Hainan made her see another possibility, which is a free and fulfilling life.

In fact, she was not bothered by exhaustion, but was happy to find that she began to come into contact with and enjoy many new things in the world. Xi yoga on the beach in the morning glow, share their heartfelt stories with travelers from all over the world, or write a travelogue by the sea, expressing her inner feelings, and every day is full of new experiences and gains.
Taotao's digital nomad life can continue without her two new jobs. One is a freelance writer who gets paid for her writing, and although her income fluctuates from time to time, her flexible way of working is more than anything for herAnother job is as a landlord, who entrusts her vacant properties in Tianjin to long-term rental agencies to ensure a stable income.
Now Tao Tao is moving in the direction of a travel blogger, hoping to make better use of her professional skills, and at the same time, combined with the rent can give her the flexibility to move her workstation, so that her life and work can be more harmonious. What she is looking forward to is to bring her professional skills and practical experience to the form of travel bloggers to reach more like-minded digital nomads like her.
