Eric, I love this piece as it comes straight from your inner thoughts. So often the glamour of showing off the great pics of the new place you are visiting shows the rest of us a life we wish we had. The perfect life where you travel all the time and see the world - who wouldn't want that as they go off to work each day at the crack of dawn?
But you have spilled out the downsides of it. But I love that you take it in stride and not only take a bit of the place with you, but leave something of yourself there too. What a wonderful way to think of it all.
I've never been a nomad like yourself, but I do often move every few years. Since becoming an adult I have moved away 5 times, so about every 4 years on average. I do enjoy this way of life. I see different places, but I also live there and really get to know how it is.
But I am always thinking of the nomads of the world.
(I dumped a collection of Steemfest photos in my latest post, and you are in a few.)
