Weird question I know. Before I accepted this new job, I booked a 10 day trip to Rome, Italy and paid for the Airbnb, flight, reserved a budget for it. I wanted to go out and finally do something. But this new job has us on rotational shifts and it means I’ll have to work from 12pm-9pm on most days and will only have 2 free days. I’m starting to have regret.

How do you find time to enjoy things while having to actually work? It seems like people who are digital nomads are free. I wanted to be able to go out and try diff restaurants, explore, all of that but I won’t be able to

    That makes sense! I was thinking about Japan next year or France and I was thinking too that if I go I should probably stay for at least a month bc I’ll be working my ass off lol.

      Yes if you stay for a whole month you get roughly 8 days free(4 weekends). So you can think of 1 month of nomading is equivalent to a 1 week vacation if you don’t take any free days to recover/do nothing.

      The longer you stay, the better. You’re just living a “normal” life in a different location.

      The best advice is just to stay in a location until you visa runs out and then go somewhere new.
