The term “digital nomad” or “location independent” is becoming more attractive to many, led in part by millennials as the world shrinks due to the connectivity the internet brings. Artists, engineers, and developers alike are ditching the normal routines and instead embracing the constant adventure of the nomadic lifestyle.
UK based landscape photographer Thomas Heaton has joined the ever-growing population of those wanting to escape the confines of the normal office, and instead enjoy being on the road with his new Ford Transit custom camper van. I for one am envious, and have considered how to adapt my business into a more nomadic lifestyle for some time now as well.
Throughout the video Heaton gives an overview of how his camper van was designed and some of his thoughts surrounding the actual build out of the vehicle. Heaton’s custom van comes with hidden benefits for photographers, such as the tripod cubby. I also appreciated the details Heaton provides on the additional security he’s added to the van. That definitely gave me more things to ponder as I research what I want in my future build out. As with all major projects though, there were some hiccups along the way, but after a couple of delays the van was finally finished.
While Heaton admits he wouldn’t be utilizing the van for full-time work, having the ability to work in the field in relative comfort while on extended projects is a huge benefit. I look forward to hearing more from Heaton and his reviews on the van as he uses it more. Are any of our readers part of the digital nomad movement? Are you utilizing a camper/RV or utilizing sites such as Airbnb or couchsurfing.com? If you haven’t, make sure to follow Heaton on Instagram here.
