Title: I’m Seriously Considering the Nomad Life — Anyone Here Done This Before? Lately, I’ve been toying with an idea that won’t seem crazy to this group at all: what if home wasn’t one place… what if it moved with me? I’m not talking about quitting life and disappearing into the wind. I’m talking about a slower, more intentional kind of travel — staying in a place long enough to actually live there, learn the rhythm of the neighborhood, find the good coffee, walk the same streets, and then… move on. The nomad life isn’t about rushing from city to city or collecting passport stamps. For me, it’s more about: trading “someday” trips for now experiences staying curious instead of settling into autopilot realizing you don’t have to wait for retirement to explore I’ve been asking myself some real questions: What would life feel like if my address changed every few weeks or months? Would I feel more grounded… or more free? Would I miss stability — or redefine what stability actually means? The interesting part is this: people already do this in different ways. Some slow travel along coastlines. Some road-trip small towns. Some work remotely and base themselves in new countries for months at a time. Some treat travel as a chapter, not a forever plan. What keeps pulling me toward this idea is the simplicity of it. Fewer things. More stories. Fewer “I wish I had…” moments. And honestly, I don’t have all the answers. This is very much a thinking-out-loud moment. So I’m curious — and I genuinely want your input: 👉 Have you ever lived the nomad life, even briefly? That could be: traveling month-to-month living abroad short-term RV life, van life, cruise-to-cruise or even just long stretches away from a permanent home 👉 What surprised you most about it — good or bad? 👉 What would you do differently if you did it again? 👉 And be honest… would you recommend it? This community is full of people who’ve lived, not just planned. If you’ve walked this path — even a few steps — I’d love to hear about it. And if you haven’t, I’m curious what excites you… or scares you… about the idea.
