Being a digital nomad isn’t just about working from gorgeous locations — it’s about staying relevant. Whether you’re a seasoned remote pro or still plotting your escape from the 9-to-5, one thing’s certain: the more you learn, the further you can take this lifestyle.
Maybe you’re looking to pick up a new skill that pays for your beachside mornings in Pattaya. Or maybe you want to share your own expertise by teaching other nomads and remote teams. Either way, the magic tool making it happen? LMS — Learning Management Systems.
We caught up with Ioanna Proestaki Atkinson, Senior People Operations Specialist at TalentLMS, an all-in-one platform that helps you create and deliver courses to your customers, partners, or team — whether they’re across the office or across the ocean.
“An LMS is software for creating, tracking, and delivering training,” Ioanna explains. “You can share learning content in all sorts of formats — videos, presentations, quizzes, and more.”
Ioanna’s top tips:
Biggest pitfalls? Unrealistic goals, marathon sessions that fry your brain, and not sticking to a schedule.
“Digital nomads can get together in small groups, share material, track progress, and make training social and fun,” says Ioanna. Imagine this: you’re in a Pattaya coworking space, taking a course on remote project management, sipping an iced coffee, and swapping tips with other nomads who are doing the same thing. That’s networking and upskilling in one.
With TalentLMS’ library of over 700 ready-to-go courses — from cybersecurity to leadership skills — there’s always something new to learn.
Learning isn’t a “do it once and you’re done” thing — it’s an ongoing part of keeping your digital nomad dream alive. So keep expanding your skills, keep connecting with like-minded people, and keep growing — whether you’re in a high-rise in Bangkok or a coworking space steps from Pattaya Beach.
