Abstract

Digital nomadism is defined as “the blending of tourism, leisure and professional activities to create a unique lifestyle based on remote work, global travel and multi-residential practices” (Mancinelli). Considering digital nomadism as a lifestyle, individuals need to be constantly on the move in order to maintain this lifestyle. In this case, lifestyle mobility can be mentioned at the intersection of travel, leisure time and migration. The relevant book chapter will address the issue of digital nomadism from a similar holistic perspective. For this purpose, developments in communication technologies and digitalization will be discussed in the first part, and the prominent features of digital nomadism as a lifestyle mobility will be mentioned in the second part, and finally, critical approaches to digital nomadism will be discussed and whether this lifestyle can be evaluated as a hedonic choice or a necessity.
