🎒 DIGITAL NOMADS

Nomad Cruise is BACK!

Nomad Cruise, the popular cruise-based conference for digital nomads, remote workers, and entrepreneurs, is preparing for its first Atlantic Ocean crossing since COVID!

Nomad Cruise faced massive challenges during the pandemic (for obvious reasons) and even launched a sister brand Nomadbase to facilitate conferences on land.

However, the cruise industry's recovery has enabled Nomad Cruise to secure a new partner after its previous partner ceased operations.

Nomad Cruise 12 will depart from Tenerife, Spain 🇪🇸 on December 11, 2023, and head to Salvador, Brazil 🇧🇷 in a 10-day journey with six conference days and exciting excursion stops.

Sales open today (July 28), offering various packages for participants.

Best of all, the experience doesn’t end after the cruise arrives in Brazil…

Historically, participants continue to travel together and Nomad Cruise is embracing this by planning “beach town reunions” and a New Year’s Eve reunion in Rio de Janeiro.

💻 REMOTE WORK

How to conquer loneliness as a remote worker

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to remote work, but it also brought concerns about loneliness among remote workers.

A new survey of office workers showed that a significant percentage, particularly those under 35, worried about feeling isolated if they continued working from home full time.

If this sounds familiar worry not, we have 6 great tips on how to combat loneliness without giving up your freedom:

🌳 Take breaks & go outside for fresh air and small social interactions

💬 Set up social media chat groups with friends or coworkers to recreate informal office chit-chat and connections

🎥 Turn your video on! Participating fully in video meetings will make you feel more connected to colleagues

☕️ Get out of the house! Working from other locations like coffee shops or co-working spaces to recreate the good parts of an office environment

🤝 Encourage company “onsites” so you can meet your coworkers in person and strengthen relationships

✨ Avoid overworking and use the extra time gained from remote work to improve your personal life and socialize with friends.
