Working online and travelling the world - digital nomads
Digital nomads: They travel the world, work on the move and are always online. Their lives are emblematic of the Digital Revolution and its impact on our work and lives. But their way of life has its limits.

Many people dream of "Life on the Road". A dream that has come true for Pete and Supi. Driven by the desire to travel, they try to escape the boredom of everyday life. They seek self-fulfilment without security and insurance; a nomadic world of adventure.

Pete is a DJ, parties and big cities are an integral part of his life. Supi, on the other hand, is the opposite: she seeks spirituality and self-discovery. Both show us the wide spectrum of possibilities that the world of digital nomads has to offer. Despite their fundamental differences, both earn their money with "remote work".

The digital age has made all this possible: it would be unthinkable without the internet. But their way of life has its limits: Suparni wants a child. But finding the right person who shares your lifestyle is difficult, and the constant travelling is a hurdle here.
