A lot of these points, especially the one about family and friends, are very true. Not just when it comes to traveling but also living as a nomad. I have made many great friends over the years living in 9 different states but the second you move away, those friendships fall away into memories as they tend to prefer to being able to access your attention within the same zip code to shoot the breeze with.

I’m starting to get into the travel groove and am realizing how much “travel work” can take away from other tasks like social media posts, etc… It does require planning ahead to appear active 24/7 year round. Just like any business. I also agree on connecting outside your comfort zone. While I love to travel, I realized I’m a huge advocate for accessible travel/tourism for all people with disabilities and often that means connecting with a wider range of people who share the common thread of travel in addition to other interests.

Thanks for sharing this terrific, honest, insight. You helped me keep my delusions of granduer real. 🙂

Well said. I think the additional income is the biggest misconception. The idea that you need savings to, well, work, is difficult for non-bloggers to understand.

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my users would certainly benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Cheers!

I haven’t made any money yet, so #4 & 9 were my favs. I wish I could have been in the room when someone told you that travel is frivolous. I would have had a good response!
