Jenny Lachs created a Facebook Group when she needed more information on how to do this “nomad” thing 3 years ago. That “Digital Nomad Girls” group grew to an 18,000 female member private community–posting about how they travel, what they do to earn an income, sharing job leads, and the best tips and destinations. It’s an engaging travel brand and nomad community, and it now serves as her full-time job to further develop this travel platform.
