Digital Nomad Travel

All the companies with digital nomad retreats and workations in 2022

Last updated on August 27th, 2023

Ever since Tim Ferriss wrote “The 4-Hour Workweek”, hoards of people have been firing the office and hitting the road to join “the new rich”. Life design (actively curating the kind of lifestyle you want) has taken on increasing importance. Experiences too replaced things as the pinnacle of success and somewhere along the way, the digital nomad movement took off. The more people joined the nomadic work train, the more services cropped up to cater to them.

 

Specifically for those who fear that a life of location independence equates to lonesomeness, there are countless digital nomad retreats where one may collect stamps as well as friends. Here are the companies hosting digital nomad retreats and group work and travel “workation” programs in 2022.

 

* Please note that in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, these programs are subject to cancellation. Please contact organizers directly to inquire about all locations and itineraries.
