What’s your take on digital nomads flooding affordable destinations? I’ve spent time in places like Lisbon and Chiang Mai, and while the cafés are full of remote workers living the dream, rent prices are skyrocketing and locals are getting priced out. It’s hard to ignore the impact, even if you’re just one person. Are we unintentionally making these places less livable for the people who actually call them home? Is this just part of the global economy now, or do digital nomads have a real responsibility to be more aware of the ripple effects?

There’s nothing wrong with remote work, but it comes with responsibility. Supporting local businesses, paying fair prices, and being mindful of housing pressures are small ways to give back. Travel should uplift a place, not overwhelm it.

This! And not only just digital nomads/working aboard this is just general tourism and traveling as well. Understand how overpaying impacts these places and creates additional income inequities. Know how to support a local economy as you're using their resources, to be citizens of the world is trying to understand the role you play positive or negative when you're traveling and how to leave places the same or better than when you came.
