Travelling freely while working remotely by using technology and the internet has become popular amongst Slovaks, especially during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. One of them is Oli Džupinková, who did not return to her previous regular work regime after a sabbatical, but instead joined the flock of some 40 million digital nomads who are estimated to be wandering the world. She works in parallel on several projects and has realised that she can do her work without returning to her office.
“What I need is just a good internet connection,” said Džupinková. “I laugh about it with my mom, because she says that as a digital nomad I could come home, to Pichne in eastern Slovakia, and work from there. But there is a poor internet connection there, so it’s a bit of a problem.”
Slovak digital nomads
Neither Slovak legislation nor statistics recognise the term 'digital nomad', which is often taken to mean working remotely from home rather than abroad.
