SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- Amateur golfers hoping to improve their game get tips from the pros. People hoping to cook better watch professional chefs on the Food Network. Most of us travel on business and work from the road some of the time. Who can WE turn to for advice?
Sure, there's no substitute for the world's top mobile computing experts, who can tell all about products and services.
For country-by-country, hotspot-by-hotspot, real-world advice, it's a good idea to also turn to digital nomads -- people who sold their homes and went traveling full-time. For these brave souls who connect and work from variable, unpredictable and challenging locations, there's no substitute for hard-won knowledge. These are the golf pros of the working-while-traveling universe.
Unfortunately, they're generally invisible to us because they're always somewhere else -- in Peru, Vietnam or the North Pole -- pretty much doing what we all do, but in more challenging and unpredictable circumstances.
Fortunately, some of them blog. I've compiled a list of the best nomad bloggers. If you ever travel on business, or want to learn how to connect, communicate and conduct business from anywhere -- literally anywhere -- then bookmark this page and check in on these wandering workers from time to time. And who knows? Maybe you'll get so inspired by their lifestyles that you'll sell the house and travel fulltime, too!
