Mohamed Alaa, Guardian, Egypt’s economic woes lure digital nomads – but cast others out to sea, 16 Feb 2024 “The number of digital nomads rose sharply during the pandemic, when workplaces made the necessary switch to remote working and white-collar workers were suddenly released from geographical confines. In the intervening years, rising rents and the cost of living crisis in many countries have also driven out young professionals, and changing cities or even countries becomes a more affordable option.”
