Can You Really Be Happy Without a Permanent Home? A Conversation About Community and a Sense of Home as a Nomad Mar 14, 2019

Show notes

Do all nomads eventually settle down?

Can you really be happy if you always move around?

Is there something about having a permanent home that you can never recreate as a nomad?

These are the questions we're mulling over on this weeks episode of The World Wanderers.

We've been working, traveling, and living nomadically for 4 years and have learned a lot about how to find a balance between the feeling of excitement for travel and the feeling of home.
