This is where we explore how to finalise launching your new career and a host of destinations where you can take it so that you can reap the rewards while enjoying life to the maximum in an exciting new location.

We’re delighted to have helped you get to this final, important milestone. Your dedication to keeping your dream has brought you to the point where you can consider some exciting possibilities for your new business. So, as you’ll soon be going places with your new enterprise and building up your business, how about really getting out and exploring some new locations, too?

Do you know what digital nomadism is? We’ll take you beyond the definition and show you a fascinating and profitable world that we at IxDF have explored thoroughly. Part of redefining yourself as a Freelancer and Entrepreneur is designing your personal life around it. The world’s a massive place, full of excellent chances for you to seize. Did you know you can stay in a sunny paradise for just a fraction of what you might be paying at home?

Digital nomads come from all walks of life. Some head off alone; others bring their families. The possibilities are practically endless. We know, because it’s a lifestyle we live and breathe. Here, we’ll tell you all you need to know—from what to pack, to visas and laws, to adapting to a foreign environment and making the most of it. All you’d basically need is the ability to get online and a laptop, along with your world in a case or two and the clothes on you. Still, we’ve loaded this lesson with all sorts of travel tips, too—not to mention a range of vital resources for digital nomads. We also know how important it is to be ready before you head to the departure lounge, so we’re going to show you some powerful and exemplary designs for your online presence.

On the subject of departure and presence, we know that your presence is a fundamental part of why IxDF is here, so we’d like to thank you for letting us help you have the chance to reach awesome heights. Your success is our pleasure, and wherever you go, we hope that your new life as a Freelancer or Entrepreneur rewards you well. Thanks again, and the very best of luck out there!
