Generally, and to the Average Joe, a digital nomad would have been step up from the typical backpacker: living cheaply, but open to picking up an odd job here or there, and usually staying in country no more than a few weeks. To some degree, there might not have appeared to be much benefit to Caribbean countries to cater to the backpacker or digital nomad crowd, especially since generally, the region is promoted as an upmarket tourist location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, thanks to the pandemic, some Caribbean countries began to pay greater attention to the digital nomad segment, but usually with an emphasis on longer-term stay visitors. This segment may need a bit more stability, in terms of their travel arrangements; they are already employed or working for clients overseas, and so are likely to have more disposable income than the typical backpacker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flipside and over the past two years, Caribbean employers have been adopting remote work arrangements, which means that individuals could essentially work from anywhere \u2013 as long as they have decent internet access. As a result, there are those of us who enjoyed \u2018staycations\u2019, whilst others have travelled much further afield, such as our guests for this episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing our guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"161571\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ict-pulse.com\/2022\/02\/ictp-189-living-and-working-as-a-digital-nomad\/juleen-k-gentles-jk-gentles\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Juleen K Gentles (JK Gentles)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Juleen Gentles&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fgd.dfv.mybluehost.me\/.website_c81a1e61\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Juleen-K-Gentles-JK-Gentles.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Juleen Gentles<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/juleenkgentles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Juleen Gentles\">Juleen Gentles<\/a><\/strong> is a Digital Product Analyst for ZS\/Medullan, a United States-based firm with a footprint in Jamaica.

He has been working remotely in the tech space for the last five years, leveraging Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degrees in Engineering to turn complex ideas into easy to understand material, and began his journey as a digital nomad in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andres is currently the Head of Content at Wordify and DXPReport.com, a Dubai\/London based content marketing agency and media publication for the headless CMS (content management system) and DXP (digital experience platform) space. He also does freelance writing for start-ups across other disciplines including product management, blockchain and cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andres is originally from Barbados.

It was thus wonderful to be able to live vicariously through Andres, Marsiya and Juleen. They all travelled to locations that typically might be considered outside their comfort zone, and so truly opened themselves up to adventure! Additionally, and with regard to Marsiya and Juleen, in particular, it is exciting that young women are embracing the digital nomad lifestyle, as concerns about their security and safety, whilst being so far away from home, could have overshadowed the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are a few of the questions posed during our conversation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>What was the journey to becoming a digital nomad?<\/li><li>What has been your experience with regard to internet connectivity, and what do you look for on that front?<\/li><li>Has the pandemic caused any challenges, new opportunities or adjustment to your digital nomad experience and\/or plans?<\/li><li>How important is knowing the local language of the country to which you are travelling?<\/li><li>If someone was thinking of becoming a digital nomad, what advice would you give?<\/li><li>What is next for you?
