This June I did probably the craziest thing in my life and flew to Bangkok from Germany on a whim with just 500 euros in my pocket. I always dreamed of doing this, I was obsessed with YouTube travel videos as a teen, but I never thought I’d actually get to do it myself. I’ve never felt more free, nervous, and satisfied with life all at the same time, lmao. I’m currently in Busan, so these are my midnight thoughts. I know this kind of life isn’t for everyone, so I’m very curious what everyone thinks.
It really depends on what you mean by nomadic. Moving every day? Totally not my thing. I’m happy to do it briefly for travel and sightseeing, but after a month it two I’m done (I did it once, I was happy to settle back down after).
On the other hand, I am far from sedentary. Since my adulthood I have moved on average every year. Every time from a place that I used to call home to a new one. After almost 20 years, I am considering setting down… for the next 5 years or so. I loved this lifestyle, both the small in-city moves and the intercontinental ones. Now that I have a family it just gets more cumbersome, so I don’t plan to move nearly as much.
