The pandemic has allowed a wider group of workers and travelers to become anywhere workers © Getty Images Who is the anywhere worker?Įssentially a post-pandemic digital nomad. Has your job gone remote? These countries are welcoming digital nomads That is the new generation of workers that has emerged since the pandemic began-the people who have been traveling and working for the past year or so, without being tied to a specific place. In a recent Lonely Planet survey of more than 1,400 respondents-made up of 67 different nationalities across six countries (including the US, Mexico, Portugal, Indonesia and Spain)-and conducted with freelancer services marketplace Fiverr, more than half (54%) said they now consider themselves to be anywhere workers. Plus, several countries are now issuing long-term visas and digital nomad schemes specifically for people who are able to take their jobs on the road. Older workers and people with families have been able to work and travel during the pandemic too, not just carefree young adults hopping from hostel to hostel. It has meant that a wider range of conventional workers, not just freelancers, can take their jobs anywhere provided they have a laptop and a strong WiFi connection. The jump to remote work for many during the pandemic removed geographical barriers and provided greater flexibility in how and where we do our jobs ushering in a new type of digital nomad: the anywhere worker.
