More and more people, professionals and freelancers, are choosing to be digital nomads nowadays. According to the Independent Professionals and the Self Employed (IPSE), there is a 36-percent increase on the number of freelancers in the U.K. alone since 2008.
For some, nomadic working gives them the chance to have an upper hand in handling their time and comfort while earning a living. They just need connectivity and electronic device like laptop and phone and they are good to go.
Given that, GuardianCareers offered a Q&A to give some insights about location-independent lifestyle. It took place on Nov. 2 from 1:00 to 2:30 GMT with their expert panel.
