The idea of constantly moving is so appealing, but philosophically it feels wrong. Does anyone here live as a nomad?
I don’t vibe with American culture and it seems like the best way out.
Edit: Y’all are the best! I really appreciate everyone’s responses. 🤗
It’s hard but very rewarding. Philosophically it’s taught me the meaning of solidarity more than a book ever could. I’ve worked in Illinois, Kansas, New York, New Mexico, and currently California.
My work is seasonal but I’ve finally gotten a permanent job and while the nomadic life still calls out to me, having a little house to call my own where I can grow native plants and food has become much more appealing.
Constantly moving means you never get your “circle”. I’ve made so many friends all over the country but moving away I hardly see them. I don’t have people i can text and five minutes later be hanging out with them. It’s lonely.
That’s true. I have made a lot of friends, but I always lose touch with them. Having a support circle is important, but it’s tough to build when you don’t stick it out somewhere.
Thank you for that reminder. I don’t have a tight nit group of friends right now, but if I keep moving I’ll never be able to build that.
