Cyfrowy nomadyzm stanowi odzwierciedlenie nowego stylu życia młodych ludzi, którzy pracują zdalnie. Mogą więc nieustannie podążać za przygodą i rozwijać swoje pasje. Głównym celem badawczym jest poznanie determinant wyboru takiego stylu życia przez Polaków. Obiektem badań są cyfrowi nomadzi polskiego pochodzenia. Zastosowano metodę analizy literatury oraz wywiadu pogłębionego na próbie czterdziestu respondentów. Badanie wykazało, że polscy cyfrowi nomadzi nie utożsamiają się z większą społecznością, ponieważ spotykają się z niezrozumieniem i nie ufają osobom poznanym w trakcie podróży. Typowy cyfrowy nomad pracuje zdalnie w branży IT, marketingu lub edukacji. Jest osobą młodą, szukającą przygód w trakcie podróży, nieprzywiązującą większej wagi do warunków mieszkaniowych. Cechami charakterystycznymi są również minimalizm i niechęć do zakładania rodzin. Do głównych determinant wyboru koczowniczego trybu życia należy przede wszystkim nieusatysfakcjonowanie warunkami życia panującymi w Polsce oraz chęć dokonania zmian.

Digital nomadism reflects the new trend among young people who work remotely so they can follow their passions and travel. The main research goal was to find out the determinant of the choice of such a lifestyle by Poles. The subject of the research were digital nomads of Polish descent. The method of literature analysis and in-depth interviews on a sample of 40 respondents was used. The study showed that Polish digital nomads do not identify with a larger community as they face misunderstanding and distrust the help of those they meet during their travels. A typical digital nomad works in the IT, marketing or education industry, is a young person looking for adventure while travelling, and not paying much attention to housing conditions. Characteristic features are also minimalism and a reluctance to start a family. The main determinants of the choice of a nomadic lifestyle include, first of all, the dissatisfaction with the living conditions in Poland, and the willingness to change. These changes have enabled the emergence of a phenomenon known as digital nomadism. The aim of this article was to create a digital profile of a nomad of Polish origin. The following research questions were asked:
