Need more services? Think: resort. Your budget probably doesn’t allow for picking up and moving to a five-star resort permanently, but a week or so might be just the recharge needed for your pandemic-depleted batteries. OK, so you can afford maybe a day. There are “getaway” hotel programs for that, too.
Go really remote by leaving the country, as Leah Walker, a freelance writer from Texas, did. After selling her Houston home and living briefly in Rio de Janeiro, Leah moved to France on a passeport talent visa six years ago. She’s since created a marketing company in Paris and works with brands in the travel, tourism and lifestyle markets that want to reach the American market. “Finding my way in France wasn’t easy, but the struggles were definitely worth it. In France, I found my forever home,” she says.
As countries are recovering from the pandemic this year, it’s relatively easy to get a new, special work visa just for digital nomads and freelance workers. There are at least 20 countries offering them, from Bermuda to Antigua and Barbuda, or as far afield as Dubai and Spain. The hope is that these long-term visitors will support local economies without displacing any permanent residents’ jobs.

The Censoring of Social Media? - Why legislatures continually try to regulate freedom of expression, and what the courts are doing about it
There seems to be bipartisan agreement that everything from teen suicide rates to poor mental health and more is due to social media. The obvious solution, they believe, is to impose government oversight on how such services can be provided. Congress is considering sweeping social media legislation and a number of states have already enacted such laws.
