“One of my wildest predictions is that a certain percentage of the population will adopt some form of nomadism”

Follow-up

Remote and digital nomadism saw growth since 2020, with forecasts for continued expansion. Nomad visas increased globally and freelance platforms reported growth.

Hybrid work stabilized rather than a full nomadic transition.
