Digital Nomad Co-Traveling In Asia: What to Expect

As we receive new opportunities to work from home, companies and businesses are learning how beneficial remote work is. In turn, workers are realizing the wonders of having a flexible schedule and what it entails.

That’s why a lot of remote workers are now looking into becoming digital nomads in the near future. This allows them to travel and enjoy exploring the world as they earn with their trust laptop and other necessary gear. You can actually find many digital nomads settling in Asian countries, known for their amazing culture and lower cost of living.

There’s no need to travel alone, you can be with an amazing group to create memories while working together!”

What’s great about being a digital nomad is that you don’t need to be alone. You can co-travel with like-minded digital nomad communities, or even create your own group with friends and loved ones working and traversing Asia together!

What to Consider When Working While Traveling

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a newbie to the digital nomad world, you’re probably wondering: Why would you go co-traveling with a group when you can just explore on your own?

There are many benefits to offer, such as:

1. You Get a Sense of Security

This is an important benefit, especially if it’s your first time traveling to different countries! You’ll be with a community that will help you learn the ropes of the new area, having you feel safer and at ease compared to the culture shock you may feel when traveling alone.

Furthermore, when you join co-traveling groups, they have safeguards for any issue that may affect your work. You always get a reliable wifi connection, backup power in case of blackouts, among other things. That way, you can work smoothly and not worry about any hindrances.

2. Easy to Maintain a Work Schedule

Compared to working on your own, it’s much easier to maintain a consistent work schedule as you travel. Your travel group will most likely have a similar work schedule as well, so you can join them in co-working areas or work late nights, staying productive.

No need to worry about staying productive, you’ll feel motivated working with other digital nomads!”

This helps you stay motivated and thrive in the new work-life balance you can sustain for the long-term.

3. Meet a Great Community!

And of course, you join co-travel groups for the company! You’ll be traveling with welcoming communities of like-minded people who are working as digital nomads in Asia.

This gives you the opportunity to grow your network, whether you’re a start-up, writer, or in any other industry. You grow professionally while making lasting relationships and memories in a new and beautiful country.

With all this in mind, you should also know what to consider before selecting a co-travel program, such as:

❓ How long will you travel?

There are many different co-traveling programs with different lengths, ranging between one month to an entire year. Consider how long you plan on traveling while working remotely, depending on your workflow and objectives.

❓ What’s your budget?

Since there are various programs and companies offering co-traveling opportunities, the price varies. Certain programs cover all flights and accommodation, which are higher compared to those offering basic co-living areas without additional options.

While these may seem pricey at first, you get a good ROI with their networking events and workshops.”

The prices can range between $1,000 to $2,000 a month, depending on location, time length, and any add-ons.

❓ What community do you want to join?

This is a crucial aspect to consider when working while traveling, as the community creates a huge impact in your new lifestyle.

It’s best to look for communities that have like-minded and adventurous people you’ll feel comfortable with. There are travel groups of up to 75 people or close-knit programs with less than ten travelers for more familiarity.

❓ Where do you want to go?

Would you like to go somewhere specific and stay there for the entire program, or do you want to visit multiple countries throughout the year?

There are co-travel programs that have set itineraries, or those that permit you to select locations and create your own plan. The flexibility is great when you want to hit certain countries.

❓ What’s your schedule?

Consider your work schedule, whether you work full-time or part-time. You may want to have work-focused travelers with you when working more hours, or adventurous souls who want to focus more on the travel experience and work fewer hours.
