Tsugio Makimoto and David Manners coined the term “digital nomad” in their 1997 book of the same name, which predicted a future in which technological advances enabled people to live and work on the move.
It would be another two decades before the concept really took off – during the Covid-19 pandemic – but today there are millions of digital nomads worldwide. Unsurprisingly, the trend is starting to shape the travel industry.
Aside from an increasing number of countries introducing remote-worker-friendly visas, there is a new generation of hotels designed with digital nomads in mind.
I checked into one such hotel to see if it would help a part-time nomad like me travel better and for longer.
My base was Lyf Collingwood, a co-living hotel in Melbourne, Australia, that I found through a digital nomad forum.
