TLDR; people who constantly travel (nomad) and constantly use computers (digital). The latter usually (but not necessarily) to generate income.
But there are these categories, broadly speaking. People who ...
1. ... have a remote job that they can do from anywhere who like to travel a lot.
2. ... have (usually new) money and confuse spending that on some sort of digitally administrable business that isn't sustainable with 'entrepreneurship'. While traveling.
3. ... scam other people by selling guides for how to become one of the above. While traveling.
4. ... record themselves buying, wearing, doing stuff that makes other, equally simple-minded people jealous. While traveling.
If they amass enough of aforementioned simpletons looking at their media, they may manage to generate an income from this.
Often people are in multiple groups.
Twenty years ago you would almost only meet digital nomads from group 1.
Nowadays they seem to be the minority.
Especially people who are rich often call themselves "digital nomads" because the following, better suited terms, sound way less cool:
affluent alien
made migrant
wealthy vagabond

Get the Digital Nomad mug.Attractive people under 50 who have used Scandinavian minimalistic ideologies to decorate a space (sometimes a car) and vlog the idea that they barely work and change cities, or countries often, giving the bulk of overworked society a dream. NomadLife is the hashtag, changing hobbies for work is the norm and garnering thousands of followers for free swag is the goal. #NomadLife
Whatever happened to Amy? She get married?
Nope, she's on her third van and in Tulum living the Nomad Life.
She happy?
No one knows, but she's always doing yoga on a cliff

Get the Nomad Life mug.A traveler of the self. Someone who doesn’t collect miles, but moments of presence. Someone who journeys through practices — art, craft, movement, ritual — not to find a destination, but to find themselves, again and again. Every act of expression becomes a stamp in the passport of who they are becoming.”
I don't like to think of myself as a one-trick pony, I'm more of an expressional nomad by the way my interest and hobbies fluctuate.

Get the Expressional Nomad mug.Basically forming your own belief on witch you believe in certain/all/any practices, and teach casual faith. I mean its not a formal belief. Sandman, being the god of dreams. The Grimm Reaper is a good example, he is very mellow and sorrowful but doesn't show it as he collects all that is needed to the destinations that they need to be in. Sedital is the fictional god in which she rules over creativity and originality and has a realm called Fanon, she likes to talk about artwork comedy, gaming and the talent processes of them. Her offerings include fanart, witty banter, and buying a game that she can watch you play, she's very shy and only opens up when they have been wronged in the physical realm in anyway not verbally but she sympathizes with you. She is known to place boundaries around what is fiction and what is not when it comes to stories. If you ever want to have a chat with her, on a foggy or rainy day she appears to guide you into "limp awareness" a (almost) full shutdown of the body as you are away (Fast-Sleep/Meditational Sleep). Sign language in spirit form is how she talks to people and she is the founder of the Hub/Aurora-Oasis, Council/Hitsuyo, Abyss/Shoyu, Dream Realm/Oshiete.
Sedital is apart nomadicism isnt she?
