RE: The Geography of Unhappiness As A Digital Nomad

I absolutely hear you. I came in from the cold 13 years ago and although settling a long way from home, I'm still tied to a fixed location, albeit a beautiful location. Sadly, the location itself matters not and I still find myself drifting to sleep with thoughts of living on the road again in my old van, or more recently, thinking of buying a boat and just drifting to wherever my heart, or fate, took me once more.

This feeling never leaves you.

Luckily, here in Samui, my wife kinda understands why I cant stay stuck in the house and even if its a 10 minute ride around the block, need to simply get out.

You're also right about the cost. With a house, there's always something to fix,buy or pay for. Its never ending!

You'd suit vanlife perfectly, Mac. You have your own safe space with walls, but can move wherever you choose! Whilever you've enough money to fill the tank, of course!

TAke care and be safe and happy, Mac :-)

Ah that's so true! The location itself doesn't really matter. It's just the thought of not chained to some mundane activity and being somewhat on the move.

When I was much younger, I got so easily grumpy if things became a routine but since I lived in a big city, there were endless places and things to do. Somehow, I find myself cooped up at home once again and it's pretty depressing.

I thought about living a van life this year actually but with my dad passed away, that simply became another checklist.

I don't know how to drive 🤣 and he was the one who knew all about it. Our life has been halted since but now that we're getting truly feel getting back on our feet again, I am releasing a lot of bad energy and sadness away.

With having a home and cats now, it's like endless responsibilities and you can't simply just leave them as is. Oh and I learned something new actually that I am not that introverted, I was simply conditioned being that way. I mean, I am a little older now, so I certainly have learned a thing or two on how to deal with other people and make more boundaries & the ability to say No.

Thank you so much for sharing your story that this feeling simply never leave us. It's good to know that maybe we can do small things just as simple as going for a cycle ( I won a bike last month) and have been biking a bit too 😄
