I like how honest you are in this video. It was refreshing!<br>I really feel you in what you’re describing. I’ve been there.<br>I’ve found comfort and balance in what I call “Intermittent Nomading”. I bought myself a place that feels like home, it’s my HQ, but every year I just grab my backpack and escape the bad weather for 4 months.

You’re just growing up my friend. Just slow down the travel and you will still have a lot of fun. I’m more interested in your future videos now than I was before.

The goal is my mind is to have a base where you spend most of the year. And then you take 2-3 months off to other spots

I did a lot of travel and checked off my bucket list by the time I was 40. No regrets. As you get older now 61 and recently back from a trip to Thailand and the Philippines, travel is a lot harder. Find a place you want to live and set up from there and then focus.

I've been nomading on and off for about 10 years now, the trick is definitely balance. <br><br>You won't want to travel indefinitely but you also don't want to never travel again, having a base you can travel to and from is really nice and has worked well for me and others I know

Thank you for this video and thank you for your honesty. So many people don’t understand how exhausting it is moving around full-time unless they do it for more than a year. As a 52-year-old solo female traveller who travels full-time for work and leisure, I’ve learned over the years to slow down and I’m enjoying it more versus trying to get so many countries under my belt. Excited to see what this change will bring to your journey. Whatever it is, I hope you will be happier 😊

I totally understand! I was travelling for 6 years now as a digital nomad. And I also need a Home Base.
