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.

The definition of a nomad is one who roams about with no fixed residence.

Yes, you can surely do this from within your own country and not required to travel internationally. In my mind, the essence of being a digital nomad is to be able to continue your work without being tied down to one place—always on the move. Going to cheaper places has less to do with being a digital nomad, and more to do with being cheap lol.
