2019 Honda Super Cub C125 // Digital Nomad // Riding in a Thunderstorm

I decided to brush up on my Digital Nomad skills today and work from a local park. Everything in this video easily packed into my DrySpec D38 dry bag with room to spare, and the office setup/teardown was only about 15 minutes. Skip to the end of the description for clickable time indexes.

The weather started out a bit steamy but tolerable this morning, so I decided to work outside of the house for some fresh air. I'm no stranger to digital nomadic life. Most of my work engagements are onsite at customers' offices anyway, so it's not a stretch to work remotely from anywhere. To make this work, you only need these basic items:

laptop
table
chair
decent 4G/5G data connection
power source
(optionally, a shelter system if you're planning to do this outdoors)

The weather started to turn nasty around 4:00 pm, so I packed up my mobile office and started heading home. Unfortunately, I didn't pack up early enough... about 15 minutes earlier would have been better. I ended up riding home in a heavy thunderstorm and I got completely soaked! 🤣
