The pink city was my third place to visit in India. You may not have heard anything about Jaipur from a Digital Nomad point of view. This was more of a side trip than a Travel & Work trip.

Even a dedicated traveler cannot cover most of the interesting regions in one, two or maybe three visits.  My point of visiting historic and culture intense cities like Jaipur isn’t to have a homebase as a digital nomad but to see the world through different eyes. A place like Jaipur can be a great side trip for you as ..read more

Digital nomads are burdened with packing more often than usual. Without an effective way of packing, it could become a hard and time consuming process. Since starting my life as a digital nomad in 2016, I have managed to keep my packing as simple and light as possible.
