Digital nomadism is a growing trend that over time is becoming a professional option like any other. Freelancers and employees who work remotely certify that, far from being a passing fad, digital nomads are here to stay, and Lanzarote is one of their priority destinations in Spain.
And we are talking about a work modality that is characterized by not depending on a fixed location, with a constant propensity to change in the workplace -and residence-, as the nomads did in prehistoric times. A lifestyle that is repeated in recent times in a kind of setback that, paradoxically, has come from the hand of technology.
Of course, while thousands of years ago nomadism was a matter of survival, today we are talking about an instability by choice that only affects the place of operations of these professionals. In general, we are talking about qualified personnel capable of performing their work completely from electronic devices -the more comfortable and manageable, the better-.
And, in the same way that they seek comfort in work tools, digital nomads aim to establish their improvised offices in spaces where they feel comfortable. This is probably the main reason for this lifestyle that has seen the island of Lanzarote as an ideal environment to develop.
In general, the reasons that explain the choice of a destination by a digital nomad reside in the quality of life, the climate, the possibilities of occupying time beyond work or affordable prices. When a place offers some of these virtues to freelancers and online workers, it ends up becoming vox populi and attracting a large number of professionals.
However, there is an essential need that the city must offer above any of the previous virtues: the possibility of Internet connection, since any of the tasks that these professionals develop is linked to this technology. Precisely, the fact that the Internet is present in almost the entire world has led to the rise of this way of life.
Internet everywhere as the basis of digital nomadism
It is practically the only immovable requirement for digital nomads: Internet connection, stable and of quality, practically in any corner of their destination. And this last part makes the need go beyond WiFi, since these networks are local, usually in homes, accommodations, the restaurant sector or public spaces, but they do not reach everywhere.
Here comes into play the ingenuity of digital nomads when looking for tools to perform their work without the slightest problem and with the greatest possible efficiency. When it comes to finding that Internet connection anywhere, there are different possibilities, starting with mobile data that is usually part of the services of any telephone operator today.
However, another of the common characteristics of digital nomads resides in the choice of international destinations on a regular basis. Without going any further, Lanzarote is a good example of this type of environment that welcomes foreigners in love with its climate, its beaches and landscapes and its quality of life; and the opposite happens exactly the same: thousands of Spaniards work on their own abroad.
What to do when you need an Internet connection outside your country and your operator's roaming is not a solution? This is something that happens 100% of the time, since the roaming option ceases to be viable when you need to work online constantly for a considerable period. Digital nomads resort to international eSIMs to solve this problem.
It is a card similar to the SIM of a lifetime, but it is not physical, it is contracted through the Internet and it is easily activated -and for the time you choose- from the arrival at the destination. The best known and most widespread option among digital nomads is Holafly, although it is also useful for all types of tourists who travel abroad, especially outside the roaming areas.
This choice by digital nomads is based on the simplicity of contracting, the prices and the customer service of the company, although the most important thing is its ability to offer mobile data practically in any corner of the world. In addition, with the Holafly discount code, the proposal is also interesting economically for any type of traveler.
