I have seen a lot of posts from different people across the world, but not even a single post from someone in India, who has been a nomad, either living within the country or traveling to another one.

Would definitely love to hear stories from such people. We are a couple traveling as social nomads who are trying to bridge the gap between the rural and urban societies in India. We have started out very humble and do not have much resources, so looking out for help from the community.

Just interested to see a quick rundown of everyone’s next stop. Where will you be going next and when?

Hey guys!

I’m new around here and thought I’d ask a question I’ve been wondering for a while now. I’m set to sample the nomadic lifestyle soon and I’m currently trying to define what my skillset is, and what I’m going to do long term.

I’m sure many of you have been through this, but it’s difficult knowing what you’re good at! I’m not a developer and I know there must be so many of you that aren’t working in technical roles. So I was just curious, for those of you that aren’t developers (or even those of you that are with an additional side-hussle) what do you do to earn money on the road?

There’s a pretty good mix of nomads here. It’d be interesting to see if there’s a significant difference in terms of amounts of people belonging to certain camps.

Some are remote employees working for a specific company, others are freelancers who are picking up gigs here and there to fuel their travels, and the others are location independent entrepreneurs who are building businesses (however you may define it).

Which camp do you belong to? Do you belong in multiple groups? What does your past look like and were their transition periods?

I myself started out in the first group and transitioned into the third.

Anyone here has an opinion on having children, while living a nomadic life?

Me and my GF have been living on the road for 2 years now. Our businesses are mostly established and we are considering having kids within the next 2 years. The questions that come to my mind:

• Can you optimize raising children like a web startup (picking a good location, school, doing a bit of home schooling, choosing languages, etc)
• Is anyone doing this right now? What are your experiences?
• Where are good places to live with children? I guess we would rent a house with garden and hire a local nanny/household helper.
• Do you think it’s an advantage for kids to grow up internationally with both parents being around more than usually?

Let me know what you think. I know Graham Brown is doing it with his Japanese wife. Sadly he doesn’t write too much about family matters. Then there is also a family blog, I only recently discovered, but didn’t get a chance to read yet.

What did Andrew miss? Which frictions were the hardest for you to get over?

Hi everyone.

What’s your approach/resources for finding medium term accommodation (I’m thinking 1 month-3 months as that tends to be the visa limit)?

Been building up my work this year whilst also being a traditional backpacker so moving far too quickly.

Next year is all about picking two or three locations and “settling” for a while.

Sign up for Nomad House Bali here

Hi nomads,

As you can see a new movement in this revolution is coming out. Please make some noise for Project Bali. Like @nomadicpad said in the Project Austin, is a project about bringing 5 like-minded people together in order to create an inspirational, motivational and recreational house. You will learn from different skillsets and stay on the success track.

First of all, I’m looking for 3 nomads who want to experiment that in Ubud. Second step is to find a house and get in. If you guys are looking for an amazing experience let’s apply here.

Feel free to add anything.
