The age of digital nomads

In the real estate space, there's "fresh demand for furnished housing on a short-term basis, a fast-growing niche that many property startups and their venture-capital backers are rushing to fill," Konrad Putzier writes for the Wall Street Journal.

For nomads itching to go even farther, countries like Bermuda and Estonia are offering remote work visas.
