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.

Wow, nicely done Corbett… Nice done.
These are extremely inspiring, each in a slightly different way. I’m especially impressed by your own handy work!
The only problem is I can’t make them ALL my desktop background… which to choose?
Baker, I use John’s Background Switcher to alternate my desktop background every day. Sometimes I’ll stop it for several days on an image that I particularly like.
You can point it to any folder or collection of folders on the web or your computer. You can have it change whenever you like, including every hour. Add any Flickr or SmugMug gallery you find, and never run out of incredible images.

I second that! Incredible photos Corbett!
This just makes me want to travel the world and see all of those places.
It also makes me want to get an awesome SLR digital camera so I can take pictures like these
Thanks for the wonderful post!
Fantastic! Such inspiration! I agree that the best companion in any travel is a great camera. Spend the money… it’s definitely worth it
Isn’t life beautiful (if you take advantage of all there is to offer)? And the world’s a gorgeous place, especially in HDR!
Thanks Corbett.
Absolutely amazing! I almost took my 450D and headed to the airport (joking, of course,but not too much
) Recognizing Wat Arun over Chao Phraya in that beautiful picture was incredible.
I think you created a fantastic inspirational post here.
“Sunset is served” and “Alone” are my favorites. All of them were fun to peruse. thank you
Yeah, I pretty much just took out my camera and started shooting random things around town after seeing this. Very nice collection of photos!
Very inspiring, all are beautiful photos! Looking through all those made me realize how few places I’ve been to in the world, I’m feeling quite bitten by the travel bug this morning!
Hmm, some of these HDR photos seem to inspire frequent LSD use rather than a Digital Nomad Life…
But still, LOTS of nice destinations pictured there!
Wow! Nice way to start the day. Thanks for putting this together. Stumbling and tweeting.
Fantastic stuff. Just what I need to get me motivated today.
A bunch of great shots. I have even seen some of them. Some places make it tough to take a bad picture, and those who have that eye can make a great shot from an otherwise unnoticeable scene.
HDR is wonderful, isn’t it? It can definitely make any scene ‘pop’ and be totally inspiring!
Great collection of digital artistry there.
Very Nice! A wonderful collection.
Stunning photos! Thanks for the Tuesday morning inspiration! It’s always great to be reminded how much of the world there really is to explore.
Outstanding! Really makes you want to get out of your old boring routine ( Work, TV, Sleep, Work) , and go somewhere.
Thanks
Corbett
Really amazing photos. Those really remind me of what I’m working for. It’s always nice to have a fresh injection of inspiration to keep you going!
What an incredible collection. I really want to go to each of the places pictured and just hang out for a while.
That’s a really nice collection of photos you’ve put together there. Once I start I can get lost for hours looking through photos on sites like Flickr.
Good call on sharing the Flickr tip as well. Just earlier today I was thinking I need to write a post on that soon as I sourced an image for a report I was writing.
Keep up the good work!
I agree with everyone else, stunning collection of inspiring photos. I will continue to stare at these pics for a while.
Awesome Job!
excelente fotografias inspiradoras de vida
Magnificent! What a great collection of sublime travel moments! As one who has often struggled to capture such things in photographs, I can really appreciate the talent on display here. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks everybody for all the great comments. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I’m glad you all enjoyed the photos.
Some great photos in here, I guess digital nomads like HDR then?
Whaw! You have some amazing and inspiring photo’s on here. Love the laptop by the water

btw i think HDR is a turn-off.
My favorites was the tacos & internet and the laptop on the dock. How ever those are all great pics to make you want to do something else, especially on a Monday morning at work.
Thanks!

Thank you very much. They all look very inspirational.
These are just awesome pictures…great job….I love it….
Two thumbs up for this post Corbett! So sensible, but impacting. That’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I really hope your article will trigger something in the mind of all those people who fill miserable at work and would give anything to change their working life and become Digital Nomads.
So inspiring, I wrote something about it on my blog: http://www.52ndwest.com/?p=1909
these are great pics..hard to choose which is the best. I hope I will someday become financially-free so that I can do the things I want…
I am working on my own business so I can have the freedom to travel.
It has become a driving force in my life.
Thank you for these inspiration images.
These pictures are magnificant, beautifully photographed. Sometimes, I have to see in depth whether they are actually photographed or digital made or an artistic painting.
Well done!!!
