Is becoming a digital nomad too competitive to get into right now, are there still many opportunities out there?

Absolutely not!

Becoming a digital nomad simply means that you are able to make money remotely from absolutely any place in the world, as long as you have your computer and a Wi-Fi connection.

These days it's easier than ever to start living the digital nomad lifestyle, because tons of companies hire people to work remotely, there are a lot of freelance work you could be doing and most online businesses you'll start can easily be managed remotely.
