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.A person who constantly travels (nomad) and constantly uses 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
