What are your thoughts on the rise of the remote worker?

For those who don't know, the remote worker movement is a trend in which a growing number of individuals are leaving their careers to live nomadically in foreign countries, usually southern Asia and Latin America.<br><br>As you might expect, the concept of 'digital nomadism' is becoming more popular as a result of improvements in communication technology and increases in digital connectivity. <br><br>It has been argued that this movement may be a form of neocolonialism, as these high-income foreigners inevitably cause rapid increases in rent, gentrification, and higher wages, which can create social unrest amongst the local population.<br><br>Data from the US has suggested that it may be too early to make big claims about the rise of the digital nomad, but that they may still play a significant role in shaping the geography of work across certain regions.<br><br>I am curious to hear opinions from the high-quality individuals on this sub as to their thoughts on this issue.
