This August will mark the 4th year of my nomadic life. This past year was the first year I lived in one spot longer than two months.

So yes, I still consider myself a nomad, especially since I left my home country and have no permanent base. I live in Colombia, but my visa is up in a few months. I will be going home to visit and then hopefully return here.

So it will be back to the nomadic life for a bit. It is almost like going home, the nomadic life, not the family!

So I thought I would compile a list of tips if you are interested in his lifestyle, what I did before leaping into the unknown.

Before you start this journey or any new adventure, I recommend that you take an inventory of your life, mentally and physically. Think about why you want to change your lifestyle to embark on a new adventure.

Having a WHY is always crucial to success, even here on Medium. Why do you want to write? What kind of impact do you want to have. The same with a nomadic journey; why do you want to change your life, what kind of changes and effects do you want to have in your life.
