RE: My Ideal Life: A Gardening Enthusiast's Nomadic Lifestyle / 私の理想の生活:ガーデニング好きの旅する多拠点風生活

in Daily Blog17 days ago

I appreciate what you mention here. I feel that "digital nomad" has become quite a buzz word lately and a lot of people try it out for a while but rarely is it the kind of life that can be sustained for years much less decades. I was nomadic for about 5 years and found that I do not have the personality type for such a life. In fact I am still recovering from the damage it did to my nervous system because what people don't mention about being a digital nomad is that you have to be constantly on alert, looking for opportunities, a place to stay, and finding social groups where you can be safe is a challenge too. Ultimately I have found that having two homes in the world (where I live in my rural setting and my family's home in California) is the best way to satisfy my love of gardening and adventure.

way to satisfy my love of gardening and adventure.

Yes, gardening adventure balance like work-life balance ;) I'm glad to read you found your solution and on your way recovering.

I still try to find what is the best way for me such as two or three bases or one base plus traveling but it is not the continuously moving around digital nomad-ish life I lived in my late twenties to early thirties. In my time back then, I even had to search for Wifi ... 😂 It was wonderful time and thanks to it, I could meet my partner via Couch Surfing and all the other things happened.

Now after stepping in my forties, having my daughter and having a lot of not mobile friends (plants especially trees!), I'm experimenting and figuring out my life with family and plants 🍀
