It’s official! All in
As you might have noticed, I am a extremely passionate about travel and have as a long as I can remember had a desire to live a more free and flexible life style. But due to unforeseen events, corona and feeling scared it just hasn’t happened yet. Luckily enough, starting a full-time job in august 2023 has somehow given me the kick i needed to follow my Nomad dream.
Landing a full-time job was suppose to be the end-game, isn’t that what people do? School, gap-year (in Norway), university, full-time job and settle down. It wasn’t until 6 months in that I had some sort of mental breakdown, and I couldn’t really understand why. But after some reflection I understood that it was because I wasn’t feeling fulfilled or as happy as I thought I would be, being in the stable and safe position that I had been longing for.
One roadmap that shows the route through life please.
Since the beginning of May, so much has happened and life has changed in many ways. The idea of a Nomad dream is no longer just an idea, but I have finally told friends and family about my plans of quitting my job and moving abroad in the beginning of 2025.
Some might think that this is a spur of the moment thing, or that I have rushed into a situation that is worse than the stability I have now. Which is funny, because it is the opposite. I have never craved a career, family or stability (yeah steady income would be nice), but for me it has been more about the curiosity and wanting to create new memories. No one knows what the future will hold and we can spend years preparing for something and never feel ready, but then you have lost all this time, instead of just jumping and seeing what happens. If it is something I have learned from the past 5 years is that everything will work out in the end, no matter what happens. It is all about perspective. To suppress my true desires would guarantee to make me ill or depressed, but following them and spend a year trying to create the life I want can potentially lead to success or failure.
Now what is the goal? Living a nomad life and working online (exploring this now). Do I know how? no. Do I have any idea how this is going to go? no. Does it feel scary? absolutely. But also super exciting.
This is the latest update from me, and as for this blog, it is just a way to write and vent about the things I feel and see on this journey. So if you are reading this and relate to the path I am taking, feel free to contact me at nomadedrommen@gmail.com
