After being a nomad for 2 years, I’ve lost all the joy and excitement I used to have from traveling. I moved back to Reno in August but still haven’t felt home. Anyone else get burned out from the nomadic lifestyle?

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.

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.

Growing veggies for the fine folks of Southeastern Massachusetts, w/ a focus on nutrient quality. Always interested in the evolution of digital payments.  🎩 

Agreed, plenty of places to find as home.

In my opinion, it’s easier when the community is small enough you can create impact, perhaps digital work from home etc will actually create more community in the long run as folks settle down for their kids etc.

Sounds like paradise. I guess I’m advocating for a plurality of paradises, America is big.
