Can you be a digital nomad in your own country? (alien.top)

Just curious if anyone else has done this. Being a digital nomad in your own country. Exploring other states/cities. Does this qualify? Or is the essence of being a digital nomad usually about moving somewhere cheap, where your money goes further, i.e. Southeast Asia or Latin America?

I live on a really big island near Antartica and there's heaps to explore, even if it isn't a new culture per se.

I’ve been doing about 70% in my country (U.S.), 30% abroad. That’s largely because I have friends and family that keep inviting me to things that I feel obligated to attend (weddings, holidays, etc) and it’s more convenient for me to just stay in the country.

I care about these people and it’s been great spending time with them, but next year I’m blocking off at least 6 months to travel abroad and will just say no to whatever plans they throw at me.
