Community Code of Conduct
This code of conduct outlines our expectations for everyone who participates in our community: ambassadors, volunteers, and any entity or person who is a member of Digital Nomads Nation. The purpose of this code of conduct is not to restrict, but rather to set rules that free us to grow individually and collectively. We invite all of you to help us create a safe and positive experience for everyone, and thank you for being a part of the community.
Our Mission
Digital Nomads Nation (“DNN”) is an e-nation consisting of digital nomads around the world. Our mission is to provide members with resources, form partnerships with business and governments, and advocate for global issues on behalf of all digital nomads.
Our Values
Our digital nomad e-nation is:
- Warm & Kind: We exude energy of kindness and warmth, allowing us to connect with people from all over the world. As hosts, we welcome people from around the world; as guests, we respect each place we visit and leave it better than we find it.
- Diverse & Open-Minded: We recognize our different backgrounds and perspectives, but believe that fundamentally we are all global citizens, and aren’t that different after all.
- Giving & Socially Conscious: We aim to give more than we receive and value collaboration over competition. We prioritize the wellbeing of our community over our individual agendas.
- Bold & Curious: We embrace discomfort and recognize that growth only takes place outside the comfort zone. We move because we are never too satisfied by what we already know, and want to experience all that the world has to offer.
- Proactive & Fun: Life is short, so we need to take action, chase our dreams, and have some fun. We prefer active participation over passive observation, and friendliness over formality.
1. Purpose
We are committed to build a safe and welcoming environment for our members, regardless of our gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or religion.Our members come from over 150 countries and possess a wide range of identities and values, yet at the end of the day, we are all global citizens who share more in common than we have in differences. We believe diversity helps the community thrive, when and only when members treat each other with kindness, respect, and empathy.
We are a friendly, welcoming, and supportive bunch of people who are bsy chasing our dreams - traveling to new destinations, building our businesses, and experiencing all that makes life worth living. So for us, racism, sexism, or any type of “-ism” is a waste of time and provides no value to the community. There is no room for hate in life, and we ensure the community is a safe place for members to learn and grow, regardless of who they are. This is the only way for the largest number of diverse contributors to participate and exchange ideas freely.
