What is the best location to start my journey as a digital nomad?

I highly recommend you to start your digital nomad journey in Southeast Asia.

There are many reasons why I think Southeast Asia is the best place to start, but here are the 5 most important ones:

1. It's very affordable;
2. Extremely easy to travel;
3. A lot of the locals will speak English;
4. There are tons of super cheap airlines (AirAsia, Scoot, Nook Air, etc.);
5. You can find at least a dozen digital nomad hubs in SoutheastAsia (the most famous of which are Ubud, Bali and Chiang Mai, Thailand).
