How fast do digital nomads travel?

The average time a Nomads.com member stays in one location is currently 68 days or about 2.2 months (this is pulled live from the trips database). Also the longer people are a member/nomad, the longer their trips become and the more they slow down.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that nomads move around every two weeks to their next spot while roaming around the world romantically. Many try to do that when they just start out and are super excited to see the world. However, moving around so fast gets physically and mentally challenging quickly.

Your identity is derived from your environment. If your environment is constantly in flux, you'll be constantly in flux. That's exciting for a while, but then gets tiring and many travelers burn out. Instead, most nomads stay in places for many months and will have a few favorite hubs they rotate around. That also means they can build up a somewhat stable group of friends in those spots.

This duration is a natural limitation of visas. Most nomads travel on tourist visas which are limited to 30, 60 or 90 days. If visa restrictions were minimized, many would probably start to stay in places for 6 months and move with the seasons.
