From the moment the airport doors opened in Malaga, my energy changed.
It was an overnight, 7 hours flight from Montreal, Canada to Malaga, Spain. Despite the abundance of legroom, I was barely able to sleep. So I was quite tired walking through airport security and picking up the luggage.
But the moment I walked into the open air of southern Spain, my tiredness receded. Fresh, sea air filled my nostrils, the Spanish sun warmed my face, and people passing by had friendly smiles. My energy level instantly bumped up. It’s like I switched on a turbo button.
Back in Montreal, the temperature is creeping towards freezing, and the sun sets around 4.15pm. In Spain, the temperature is 20C (68F) and the sun sets at 6.15pm. Those are significant differences.
The takeaway
Right out of the gate, those events remind me why I am a digital nomad. Getting out of my daily routine is extremely healthy for my spirit.
This email is meant to inspire you, dear reader, to find your own way of being a digital nomad. Whether it’s a week, month or half-a-year, changing your working space is transformative.
