​Digital Nomads

Digital Nomads are like caffeine-fueled employees who refuse to stay in one place. They’re always moving and are on a quest for Wi-Fi and fresh scenery, turning hostels into luxury suites with their constant moving.

​Self-Starter

They’re the kind of person who sees a task, grabs it, and starts working on it before you even realise you mentioned it—like a productivity enthusiast with a built-in GPS that leads them straight to the to-do list.
