It was uncomfortable, stressful and I hated it 🙂 . We’ve been settled into our new nomad life for a few weeks now and looking back, I can confirm that getting rid of all my stuff was one of the most uncomfortable things I’ve ever done, but I can also already tell it was worth it.

When embarking on nomad life, I had a challenge: How would I get my mail when I was galavanting around the world?

Growing up in Atlanta I learned to loathe cars. When I was in middle school, I was actually fascinated with them because they were a symbol of freedom.

Whaaaaat?!) Continue reading “How To Sell Old Or Broken Electronics To Subsidize Your Next Purchase”
Short Answer: Maybe. Buckle up for the much longer answer. My original plan for this year was to move out of our apartment when our lease is up in July and stay in 2 monthly AirBnBs in Seattle. Then I would quit my job in September and go to FinCon (which I will no longer be attending because of the founder’s behavior here, here and here). Lastly, I was planning to fly to Australia and New Zealand. Continue reading “3 Months To Retirement: Are My Global Travel Plans Changing?”
