FOMO as a Trigger to Embrace the Digital Nomad Lifestyle
In this paper, we explore a perspective on well-being in the context of digital nomads, reporting the first findings of an empirical study investigating the extent to which the nomadic lifestyle enables a healthy life and the enjoyment of well-being. Following the Gioia methodology, we collected and analyzed textual data from posts in a specific online Reddit social network discussion community to do this. Preliminary findings indicate that Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) acts as a trigger that stimulates the adoption of digital nomad lifestyles.
