I know nomads are not popular in society today and are often viewed as vagabonds which usually carries a negative undertone.
Everyone is expected by society to have a steady job and live within the confines of societies expectations. It is sad really because at one point nomads could make a living by doing the odd job others don’t want to do and travel on when the job is done.
There isn’t anything wrong with living such a life if it works for you. Unfortunately we have been so conditioned to fear the stranger who doesn’t show any of society’s expectations.
Some people accomplish a form of nomad life by moving from one job to another or from one place to another, only staying a year or two before moving on.
The military in some ways supports this by having its military members move locations every 2 to 4 years. I wanted to see the world and ended up stationed at one base for 4 years and close to home. My brother didn’t want to travel and was stationed in Germany far from home.
If you want to be a nomad then do it and find what works for you. Not everyone is cut out for staying put in one place and raising a family. There isn’t anything wrong with that. Just be open to having new experiences which it sounds like you are if you like to travel around a lot.
Fitting in isn’t all it’s cracked up to be if they aren’t being true to you or themselves.

This is me to a T. If the weather would stay nice and I had more life skills and less arthritic joints..I would live this kind of life. I guess that makes me a street rat or..a Christian?
I mean, the Bible specifically says to get rid of all I have and give it to the poor. That is the True Definition. Not this republicanism doctrine of judgement.
I was super into the tiny house movement thing for awhile, but it is actually so pricey..you have to have a 70k truck to pull it, or pay 3k per move, so it isn't as free as it seems. You can also put it in someone's backyard and be a glorified roommate.
I was just telling a friend this past week how very weighted down I feel by my possessions, and how much happier i would be as someone like the una💣er, who somehow found a way to live off of 3k a year, in the woods.
I have always wanted to find my rugged cabin guy, who listens to Seven Mary Three and makes me feel safe. Such simple things, honestly.
I went so far (again, this past week) as to message a guy on TikTok who goes to Lagos, Nigeria and helps the poor..I wanted to join him ha. I don't know how practical it is.
I do own a home, but only because I was scared of how high rents are getting. I haaate home ownership.

@foldedunfolding lmao I'll be around here and you can get to know me. No worries! Can't be all Amish because ya gotta have a phone for everything, you know. 😂
Okie dokie so San Antonio is a mixed bag.
Westside are gangsters. East side is dark (if you know, you know). Southside has ALL the hole in the wall places with great food and it's overran by Mexicans. Definitely want to know Spanish. Lol
North West side is posh white people, and Northeast side is where you have tons of businesses and industrial places... almost like an extension of downtown.
Inside 410 loop it's just an urban jungle WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to live unless you want to hear gunshots at night and see meth heads.
Hope that helps in your real estate endeavors. Lol

@RedGrizzly sounds like i belong on the west side hahaha jk..when you say dark, what do you mean? african american?

@foldedunfolding you got it! By no means do I mean anything racist by it, but it's weird that San Antonio kinda segregated itself. Lol it's something you'll notice being here among other things that's way different from Austin. Lol There are good places here though. Anywhere closer to 1604 loop or outside of it is pretty decent. Not all bad but wanted to give you a short run down of things.
