BENEFITS OF BEING NOMADIC
Owning a home naturally lends itself to clutter. You have so much room, why not fill it?
Nomadic life removes all this space and leaves you with the bare essentials. Backpackers
trim their belongings down to what they can fit in their packs; and RV-ers must limit
their possessions to what can fit in their RV. While your new RV is spacious and roomy,
you will think twice about loading up your old treadmill.
2.
Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a large amount of cash. While living on
the road can make holding a traditional job difficult, many nomads are turning to the
Internet to fund their journeys. You may also be able to get work from town-to-town.
Bear in mind that the nomadic life has its own expenses. For example, nomads who live
in a RV must continually fuel their home, find campsites and pay for insurance.
3.
A nomad experiences the ultimate in geographical freedom. This is one of the most
attractive benefits of nomadic living. You can follow every inclination and desire you
have. Want to see the Grand Canyon? Plot a course. Need to get your feet in the sand?
Head for the coast. Nomads can follow their fantasies and make them reality.
4.
According to a study by the Kellogg School of Management, those who have lived
abroad or nomadic lifestyles were consistently more creative and able tothink outside
the box. Exposing yourself to new cultures can do wonders for your mental acuity by
learning new ways of thought, traditions and morals.
