This is a really confused and flimsy piece of writing. The author starts by recounting a life-changing after which they decided to completely uproot and move to another country where they found themselves lonely and depressed. The author then uses this anecdote to assert that "working remotely" is fraught with peril. They say nothing about why they chose to move to Taiwan. Was it a place they had always wanted to see? Or was it just an attempt to try to escape in the wake of a breakup? The anecdote also makes no note of how or even if being a "remote worker" factored into their unhappy experience. Further moving and traveling are not the same thing at all. I sounds like the author moved: >"I lived in Taiwan for about a year before I returned to Europe" The article seems to willfully conflate moving to another country, working remotely and working while traveling. These are all distinctly different things they people might choose for different reasons. And some of the assertions are just downright silly such as: >"Loneliness isn’t something that many traveling remote workers write about. You won’t see it in their Instagram stories." It's also not something that sedentary office workers write about either. Having a daily routine and a familiar office space does not prevent loneliness. And most social media to has a positivity bias, nobody seems to curate anything other than a "fabulous" online persona for themselves. You would have to be a fool to let yourself be "informed" by social media.
