Chapter 2wo: The 5 Paths to Becoming a Nomad
Technically, there aren’t any skills or qualifications necessary for becoming a nomad. But these things help:
A passport
An adventurous mindset
Savings or a way to make money
A love for travel and/or new experiences
No major responsibilities or commitments back home
A willingness to get uncomfortable and embrace the unknown
A 4-year degree, *sometimes (e.g. if you’re working as a teacher)
Some technical skills or work experience (if working overseas or freelancing)
The 5 Main Paths to Becoming a Nomad
For the rest of the lessons in this chapter, we’ll cover the five main paths to becoming a nomad. I’ve tried three of them myself (and am working on a fourth right now). But one option is not necessarily better than another.
Choose based on your goals, situation and personal alignment.
Tip: For some extra inspiration, search up something like “bali what do you do for work” on YouTube. You’ll find lots of videos to watch for inspiration. This is a fun rabbit hole to go down.
ACTION ITEM 2:
Read the requirements and 5 paths (the next 5 lessons).
Consider your personality, goals and situation—which path will you take to become a nomad? Create a plan and write down the steps you need to take to make it a reality.
(but don’t stress too much, you can always pivot later)
