• I’ve been a nomad since I was a young child, every summer we’d spend two months in England as my parents were working with linguistic holidays.
  • The books i enjoyed reading were related to adventure travels and discoveries and I enjoyed very much going abroad by myself later on.
  • Creating this lifestyle happened unintentionally. I didn’t choose not to build a fulfilling career or leading a satisfying life, quite oppositely. A few incidents as a child left marks that never really healed and I’m very unstable since. I wanted to see the world too and dreamt of living in London, the Seychelles, the Maldives, Australia, New York and San Diego and Corsica.
  • I quit my jobs and couldn’t stay inactive so I followed a few trainings for work which i quit too to do other things in other places. I lead a traumatic life and my family but was lucky enough to have a pension which let me be free and sustain myself.
  • I’m glad I took a chance and embarked on my nomadic journeys where I’d stop and settle at times, try and start to build something and pass on to something else. On another trip, more like a journey, which I’m still on. I married a beautiful woman with a child originating from a Tibetan and Chinese hill tribe, she taught me a lot and had me settling, so I started building, working, achieving even if i wasn’t at expectancies I was present and still am. My wife as a very strong woman would always compensate for my whereabouts and that was tough and traumatic for her and her child too.
  • So, as most nomads do, I became sedentary, but once again was lucky enough that my stay in that country as a host demanded us to get out of this country at regular times. So I carried on with short trips on neighboring countries or further away and always coming back to my family and close ones.
  • If you’d like to become a digital nomad yourself, here is a piece of advice I can give you: you will never feel fully ready. Build a small safety net like saving 6 months’ worth of expenses, or secure your first remote gigs. Decide on a number that would make you feel safe, then, hit the road. We all have different paths, mine was supposed to be more successful, professionally wise as I had all I needed and more but failed repeatedly. Sometimes helped by local mafias that wouldn’t admit that my wife son and I could make it. Even though their envy, their jealousies, we’re still making it and will have these criminals to stop their rotten agendas, we’ll have them to apologize, repair and disappear so whole communities like us will be free from their pimpings and their belief they can own human beings.
  • Finally, remember to secure yourself by getting travel medical insurance. If you have health insurance at home, it most likely won’t cover you while you’re away. Travel medical insurance will ensure you’re covered in case of an emergency abroad. I recommend SafetyWing. They cover nomads in 185+ countries, and the coverage starts at $45 per every 4 weeks.
