Summary/Abstract: The development of new technologies and the increasing ease of Internet access have combined to contribute to the formation of new styles of living and working. One example is the increasing trend of people choosing to become ‘digital nomads’, whose lifestyle connects earning money and realizing passion for travelling and being independent. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce digital nomads as a new phenomenon within global trends of employment in the context of technological development and lifestyle changes. The paper also compares the key behaviors of digital nomads with those of entrepreneurial behaviors. The paper concludes that being a successful digital nomad necessitates having entrepreneurial behaviors.
