Modern Western nomadism has a shelf life. There are only so many Authentic Experiences you can have, funky bars you can visit, Before Sunrise liaisons. Ultimately it’s extractive. Pick a place, maybe two, dive deep. Build.

Interesting take. I guess it’s human nature to want to settle down and make your mark somewhere. The nomad life seems to last longer for some than others. Personally, never liked the idea of moving so frequently.

After college felt I had traveled so much post HS that I lacked a connection to any place in particular. Thought if I left the states I might not return; mind you this was during Bush 2.0 Anyways got tethered real quick by farming, both through the pursuit of new knowledge and the meager bank account which limited travels. Now my circle gets real small during the high season… like I’ll venture beyond my 3 mile radius maybe half dozen times through the summer months, mostly to have fun with the family. Inside the radius - home, farm, corner store, 3 ice cream shops, local market and a few restaurants, playgrounds, hiking trails, neighboring farms and friends, and the beach. It is admittedly a narrow swatch of the earth and humanity, yet it’s enough during the busy season.

Was surprised how quickly the novelty of just another Old City wore off. Though being home has a shelf life too. Finding a new dive bar don’t hit the same as returning to a familiar one

We are wired for connections. This includes places. One can travel a lot, but having a solid established base helps to keep it all together

in its original meaning, there is always a very specific, and often practical purpose of being a nomad, e.g. merchants looking for trades, missionaries spreading beliefs, farmers migrating to fertile lands, etc. while modern nomadism is almost the opposite, i.e. embracing the uncertainty, experiencing the unfamiliar, etc. i've found that the lack of purpose has always been what wears me off from moving around 133 $farther
