What is the ACTUAL purpose of a Digital Residency ID? I see these popping up everywhere lately, but I'm struggling to understand the actual benefit. Can anyone here who has a digital residency ID enlighten me what the real benefit is? Is it just for opening bank accounts, or is there more to it? Does it actually work for things like hotel check-ins or verifying your identity online? Also, can anyone suggest some good options that are actually useful for a nomad? I'm looking for ones that provide real value and aren't just a waste of money. Thanks!

A self styled traveller/nomad with a « failed to get a uk visa » German husband, A grade French and Italian GCSEs writing for and making money from the most archly xenophobic publications (DT and DM) fails to find happiness in any country she lives in (including her own). It’s a 1st Brexit win.

I had to record myself saying three sentences – only. 20+ takes later, after having repeated “I’m a travel writer and digital nomad” multiple times, I just blurted out “I am a time traveller”.

Now I get the cutout bloopers at the end of movies.

I forgot so many truths and stories of my people. I wept at the telling of them. I am a traveller. I am a seeker of knowledge and opportunity. It's in my blood. It feels good to connect to my people and our roots. They used to call me a gypsy. I am a nomad. I was reminded to be proud of myself. 🥰

If I am alone - sneaky drive past to assess the situation - take car & situation details + photo & send on to authorities & RACQ etc.
If in convoy, stopping no problem, still approaching w/ caution. That's me 2 bob. Fair way off being a gray nomad, but have been a nomadic traveller at times.

What a wild bunch of words. The internet, DVDs, cosplay, speedruns, gender confirmation surgery, gender-fluid, and the internet's best game show, but also transphobic, robocall, and BSoD.

Incredible.

Traveller and nomad both seem to be terms du jour at the moment. Though I guess migrant, global citizen and others are all also on the table?

Nomad caravans report a desert wind that whispers ancient trade secrets. Merchants who listen gain impossible wealth—but their shadows now belong to something else entirely. 🌪️ Who negotiates with the wind? 🏜️

A person becomes synonymous with the place in which they dwell, such that when they leave that place for another, a death-in-space is effected, and some may grieve for the loss of that intersection of person, activity and location. Such is the many-life of the nomad or traveller.
