Sure. The life of digital nomads is not all leisure, amazing destinations, long white sandy beaches, and sunny days.
This lifestyle in order to become fulfilling, like any other, requires balance, the right mindset, and an understanding that you can be sad or have a bad day even in the most beautiful place in the world. Traveling will not sort out for you your own struggles, so remember that your inner path always comes with you, so never forget to take care of your mind and spirit while on the road.
