Key takaways:
Life transitions, such as retirement or the loss of a loved one, can be catalysts for pursuing a nomadic lifestyle. It's essential to consider life stages and generational experiences when making the decision to launch oneself overseas as either an expat or a nomad.
Building, maintaining and sustaining a tribe when you arrive and commit to living in a new place is critical. Friendships are crucial for nomads to combat loneliness and create a sense of community. Prioritizing the nurturing of friendships should be a key consideration when relocating.
Invisible baggage or considerations, such as financial, relationship, health, purpose, and career plays a significant role in the relocation process. It's important to manage these aspects gradually and give each the attention it deserves.
Engaging with local communities, whether through online platforms like Facebook and Meetup or by attending local activities, can help nomads build a support network and gain cultural insights in their new location.
"I believe traveling is the best way to learn about yourself -- and about your partner. Whether it's long weekends away domestically or extended trips overseas, travel opens your eyes and your heart." Kelly Rayes-Haitt
