Description

Paul Kortman (@namtrok) has taken his SEO talents on the road and has become a digital nomad. If you follow digital marketing, you understand the digital nomad lifestyle. If not, well, it essentially means your job or work depends on an internet connection and some keen skills and not constrained by a geographic location or an office.
