internet & tacos by lecates
Have you dreamed of being able to live and work anywhere you want to? What about traveling the world while earning a living with just a laptop and an Internet connection? Such is the life of a digital nomad. It’s usually exciting, sometimes glamorous, and always inspiring.
If you’ve ever thought of becoming a digital nomad, here are 50 photos that might inspire you to take the next step.
Where are all these photos from? They’re all licensed under Creative Commons and sourced from the amazing artists who contribute to Flickr. Actually, I also took a few of the photos myself, but you can use those under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 as well.
If you’re not familiar with Creative Commons, basically it’s a way for artists, photographers, writers, etc. to license their work so that other people can use it under certain conditions (usually attribution is required). CC is a great way to gain exposure for your work. That’s where I source most of the photos on this blog, and I really appreciate all the amazing things people share under CC.
Each of these photos inspired me to want to get out and explore and to experience more than my little corner of the world. I hope they inspire you too.

Incredible collection, Corbett! I love your sunset ones that you took yourself… makes me itch to start traveling, which I think was your point!

Karen
Being a digital nomad is one of the really positive things I love about my life. I have a backpack with clothes, my laptop, my camera, my video camera, my ipod. I don’t need anything else and I earn money online writing. It’s a wonderful life.
Sounds lovely.
Quite a few impressive pictures, which should inspire everyone to get out there and do some exploring. But why not some pictures of shitty hostels, which most backpackers say in. That aint quite so glamorous….!
That would take the fun out of it
Nice photos. Double thumbs up!
magnificas. es parte del paraíso terrenal expuesto para llegar directo al corazon.
Bravo!
Beautiful and inspirational!
Photos that speak a 1000 words.’-)
I really enjoy these photographs. You’re living the life I’ve been dreaming of for years now. You’ve finally given me a name for my calling.
Excellent collection! It reminds me of just how little we have seen in the past couple of years on the road. There’s so much more to see and do!

WOW!!! Amazing photos! Makes me want to get on a plane and visit many of these places right now.
Being a digital nomad myself, I couldn’t help but take a look at all these photos. They are amazing and make me want to get up and leave my house right now.
Amazing photo collection!
