Life is like a maze.
Every time you think you made the right choice, then it may turn into a negative outcome.
I have been working as a freelancer for more than five years, and this is how I construct my life from both private and professional points of view.
This is how I reach the conclusion to be an independent freelance.
How to become a digital nomad with no experience?
Fully remote job
First of all, I would like to highlight that everyone has different values and everyone sees the world differently so this is the only case that has been working for me.
The first person and I thought it was important to be able to work fully remotely.
This is because my life goal is to be in as many countries as possible, so having a "portable" job it's very important for me.
However, if you are someone who wants to enjoy working with other people then only my job will not suit you the best because the only way you can communicate with your colleague is via the Internet.

Close to the nature
I have written my opinion about living close to nature in a different article.
Air pollution affects mental health and how to build your career plan to be in a clean city.
To say short, being close to nature and also close to a clean air environment is very important in terms of mental health.
I would like to insert a quotation again from my past article because this is really important.
According to the article from IQAir, "Some studies show that even brief, temporary air pollution exposure may be linked to an increased risk for mental disorders like depression and schizophrenia, with damage starting as early as childhood."
I think most people have missed this point of view this is a very important factor because it will affect my psychological condition and sort that physical condition accordingly.
Then I thought that I should be able to choose the place that I live, and to make it realistic I thought I shall choose the skill set which doesn't require me to stay in one particular place.
If you are close to nature, you can also have a digital detox habit.
You can learn more about it from "An easy social media detox introduction for Everyone"
The job that does not stress you out
Stressed out? Go to a coffee shop and get chilled!
My occupation is a professional blogger and freelance web marketing consultant.
I kind of like this occupation because I can choose when I want to work and when I want to take a rest because the performance that I need to present is not related to when I work.
It doesn't mean that if I work longer my performance will get better, the only thing that matters is how good my performance is.
3 digital nomad advantages you have to know
Marketing is kind of fun because as a previous business owner, seeing my past life here, I want to keep my marketing and business skills as good as possible, so being involved in different types of businesses as a marketing consultant works perfectly for me.
Some people may sacrifice themselves for a better income and choose the job that they don't like, but I don't think it will last for a long time because at least you work for 40 hours a week and if something you do 40 hours a week is something you don't like, then we know what is going to happen in long-term point of view.
To sum up the third point, I suggest you choose a job that you can do for at least 40 years.
Thanks for reading and I hope this post is informative to you who want to become an independent freelance.
