The digital nomad lifestyle. It’s often put on a pedestal like the shiniest object in the room, but does it live up to the hype? I’ve always wanted to work remotely and on my own terms. Here’s why I finally took the leap to become a digital nomad.I’ve spent just over 7 months living in Amsterdam from Minneapolis. My entire small family, consisting of myself, my 2-year-old toddler daughter, my wife with an amazing career, and our dog, decided to jump to a new area just because. One question I hear all the time in Amsterdam is…. “why? Why did we move here from the United States?”
