Tales from the Nomadic Adventure: Life on the Road
Most Recent Addition: January 27, 2022 | Original Publication Date: Aug 20, 2016
In April 2016, my wife and I put our life in the San Francisco Bay Area on pause and set out to explore the world. We had already traveled extensively during our first 5 and half years together. Yet, life in the Bay Area was becoming more financially and psychologically taxing. Given our reasonably good health and fairly young age (mid-30s), we decided it was an opportune time to enhance our relationship and life experiences before truly settling down.
The Nomadic Adventure Series
Throughout this mini-series, I’ll reflect on our travels – the places we explore, the people we meet, and the lessons life throws our way. I’ll also shed light on what it’s like to live and work in some popular and not so popular digital nomad destinations. As we move along, I’ll update our itinerary below with future destinations and also update the links below once the articles for each destination are published.
