Chapter 9ine: Budgeting and Sustaining the Nomadic Life
With constant visa runs, confusing logistics and living out of a suitcase, the nomadic life can get tricky…and exhausting.
Luckily, there are ways to make this lifestyle as sustainable as possible.
How to not lose your mind as a nomad:
Practice self care
Be respectful and learn about the culture
Stay loose and practice a flexible mindset
Embrace minimalist living and packing/living light
Invest in good nomad gear (like a quality suitcase and good shoes)
Have a creative project (start a blog/vlog, learn the language—have a goal)
Contribute to the local community by renting from local companies longer-term or volunteering/supporting local projects and initiatives
Have normal daily life routines (yep, don’t go exploring everyday—live a normal life)
ACTION ITEM:
What does your ideal nomadic life look like? How will you make this lifestyle sustainable and somewhat “normal”? Do you have any creative projects you want to work on while traveling? What will you do while exploring the world and staying in places for months at a time? Craft a potential daily routine.
