I see this lifestyle as a game. Yeah I started on Level 1 with basically no money, no friends, and no real idea of what I wanted to do. I just wanted freedom. But since then I’ve got more money/options, I live a higher quality of life than I did in the US and I’ve got plenty of friends.
Now with everything I do it’s like a game for more freedom (options, quality of life, money, experiences, time). Is everyone else like this?
Every country is like a new girlfriend. There’s first, wonderful, romantic period, but at some point, life / routine kicks in, and you start seeing the cracks. Until you find something that really seem to work long term, and then you stop being a nomad.
