Do you ever present yourself to a local as a Digital Nomad? (alien.top)

Like I mean literally, or do you just say I travel and work remotely, or do you just prefer to present yourself as a tourist and don't talk about the work part?

The other day I was having a conversation with some boomer I had just met. I told him I was working during the week, and then he made that huge smile and said "oh, so you're also a digital nomad like me!"

Was a very nice guy, but I cringed so hard.

It's a valid term and you guys are both DNs. I might not use the term with locals but I've definitely referred to it in conversations with people who are DNs.

The term does feel cringe, but it's also the best term there is, so why not use it?
