Abstract
Digital nomads are people who work and experience leisure, through travel, at the same time. They use third spaces and an online environment in order to work location independent. Furthermore, digital nomads don’t have a permanent residence or home. Already existing research doesn’t focus on why and how digital nomads can experience a feeling of home when they don’t have a permanent residence. This thesis tries to close that gap through qualitative data analysis, achieved through conducting semi structured in-depth interviews. With these interviews it is shown that digital nomads can feel more at home, because they can establish a virtual connection with friends and family, via video calls. Furthermore, communities and fellow like-minded people are important in this feeling of home, together with the presence of the right facilities, the involvement in local activities and party because of the ownership of a residence. This thesis helps future digital nomads to be able to feel more at home, at a faster rate.
