Mia : My cousin is a digital nomad. She works remotely from Bali, Lisbon, Mexico... It sounds like a dream!

Ma cousine est nomade numérique. Elle travaille à distance depuis Bali, Lisbonne, Mexico... Ça a l'air d'un rêve !

Tom : On the one hand, it's freedom. On the other hand, isn't it lonely?

D'un côté, c'est la liberté. De l'autre, ce n'est pas solitaire ?

Mia : Sometimes. She says she works in co-working spaces to meet people.

Parfois. Elle dit qu'elle travaille dans des espaces de coworking pour rencontrer des gens.

Tom : There's another problem. In some cities, rents have gone up because of all the newcomers.

Il y a un autre problème. Dans certaines villes, les loyers ont augmenté à cause de tous les nouveaux arrivants.

Mia : That's true. Not only does it affect housing, but it also changes neighbourhoods.

C'est vrai. Non seulement ça affecte le logement, mais ça change aussi les quartiers.

Tom : So it's a great lifestyle, as long as you respect the local community.
