This research aims to examine the leisure and recreation perceptions of individuals who live their lives as digital nomads. In the research, ‘case study’ method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The research consists of 14 individuals who con-tinue their lives as digital nomads. Voluntary consent form was approved by the individu-als participating in the research. The digital nomads whose voluntary consent form was approved were asked to answer the questions in the personal information form. Partici-pants who answered the personal information form were asked to answer the interview questions. Nvivo data analysis software was used in the data analysis of the research. As a result of the research, it was revealed that individuals who continue their lives as digital nomads are aware that they continue their lives as ‘digital nomads’. It was determined that individuals who live their lives as digital nomads define themselves with concepts such as thrill-seeking, mobility, learning by doing, continuous development, desire to suc-ceed, happiness, socialisation, entrepreneurship and time management. It has been deter-mined that individuals who continue their lives as digital nomads take part in sportive (physical) recreation, cultural recreation and touristic (tourism) recreation activities in their occupational choices. It has been revealed that digital nomads give place to the concepts of freedom, comfort, happiness and high energy as a difference between doing their profes-sions in a fixed lifestyle. Digital nomads are constantly travelling and can work in any en-vironment where the internet is available by adopting an online working method during their travels. It is thought that digital nomads who both make a living and travel the world can play an important role in strengthening the unity of definition as a new profession in the sector as business data recreation.
