For a variety of reasons, more and more “digital nomads” in the adult entertainment industry are considering leaving Germany. Anja Diergarten made the decision early on to turn her back on her home country. Now she’s taking it a step further and saying goodbye to Europe. While many are still tied to traditional living and working models, the 25-year-old creator shows how digital connectivity, entrepreneurial freedom, and geographical independence can be combined into a new way of life. Her approach is radical—and at the same time an example of a trend that is becoming increasingly attractive to many creators. She explained her motivations and future goals to CASZIN.
“I don’t have a permanent home anymore—my fans are my home”
This statement is more than just a personal opinion. It describes a structural shift: Today, creators are no longer tied to a specific location. Platforms like 4based make it possible to distribute content globally and to build and monetize communities regardless of one’s location.
A deliberate break with Europe
Anja decided early on against a conventional life. “I sold my house in Spain and just set off,” she says. “I wanted to find out where I really belong—without committing myself.”
This move can make strategic sense, especially for European creators. High living costs, tax complexities, and societal expectations often stand in contrast to the flexibility that digital work actually affords. Regions in Asia or other parts of the world offer not only more favorable conditions but also new cultural influences—a factor that has a direct impact on content and creativity.
Location independence as a competitive advantage
Anja Diergarten’s journey has been marked by independence from an early age. At the age of 20, she moved to Spain on her own, founded an equestrian brand, and built a life for herself. Today, she is taking it a step further: complete location independence.
For creators, this means:
- 24/7 global reach instead of local audience engagement
- Flexibility in terms of costs, lifestyle, and production environment
- Content diversity through changing locations and perspectives
Anja takes full advantage of these benefits and combines them with a clear focus on community building.
The community as an anchor
What gives her stability in this mobile lifestyle isn’t a physical location, but her community. “My fans are incredibly important to me. I get so much support, attention, and genuine appreciation from them—often more than from the people right around me,” she says candidly. “Especially on special days like my birthday, I realize just how much they care about me.”
This statement underscores a central point of modern adult and creator platforms: closeness is no longer defined by physical presence, but by continuous interaction. Platforms like 4based address this very need—they create spaces for direct, authentic connections between creators and their audiences.
Authenticity over staging
On 4based, Anja deliberately shares her life without filters. Her combination of direct communication, striking appearance, and positive energy makes her highly recognizable. Especially in the adult entertainment industry, which has long been characterized by staged performances, authenticity is increasingly becoming a key factor for success.
Between Freedom and Longing
Despite all this independence, there’s still room for personal desires in a lifestyle like this. “I dream of swimming with pigs in the Bahamas. But I don’t want to do that alone. For moments like that, I wish I had someone to share them with.”
This contrast makes it clear: Digital freedom does not replace human connection—it merely changes the context.
Conclusion: A model with a bright future
Anja Diergarten’s example illustrates the direction in which the industry is heading. For creators, particularly in Europe, it can be strategically wise to transcend geographical boundaries and consistently leverage the benefits of global mobility.
Living without a fixed address is not just a lifestyle choice, but increasingly a financially sensible move in an industry that, by definition, operates independently of location.
Or, as Anja herself puts it: a life “without a fixed address, but with a clear sense of what she wants: a life that feels true to herself—and not to the expectations of others.”
