14th Nomadiversary: A Nomad in a Locked-Down World
Fourteen years ago today, I began my life as a full-time Technomad.
At the time I first set off - I was imagining RVing all around the country, exploring Alaska, paramotoring in Baja, backpacking internationally, and contemplating maybe eventually living on a boat.
My imagination was overflowing with dreams of all the potential adventures lying ahead, and there were countless places I was looking forward to exploring.
But…
I certainly never imagined that I would witness the entire country, and the entire world, grinding to a near halt.
What does it mean to be a nomad in a world where “social distancing” is the norm, travel is considered irresponsible (if it hasn’t been restricted entirely), and towns, counties, and even state-level borders are slamming shut to outsiders?
I share some thoughts in my annual nomadiversary post:
