Everything I have learnt from my digital nomad lifestyle in 400 words.

1. The world is boringly safe.
2. Planning is good but its better to jump off and build your wings on the way down.
3. Alternating between working hard and hardly working works the best.
4. Be it nomads or 9-5er, we are all social beings and need a community to thrive.
5. You dont need much. All you need can easily fit under the seat in front of you.
6. Nothing beats the immersive experience of living in new cultures and meeting people from around the world.
7. For every seven days of travel, one day will be a complete disaster.
8. Wherever you have friends, that’s your country, and wherever you receive love, that’s your home.
9. Traveling isn’t all happiness. If you’re searching for happiness, you’re searching for a vacation.
10. Saying yes leads to great places.
11. Exploring ourselves and this planet earth as an adventurous playground, and to share this amongst each other, is the greatest joy.
12. Life is so much more than just working some shitty job and buying stuff that doesn’t make you happy.
13. Its 21st century and still most people’s sense of self worth and dignity is closely tied to their jobs.
14. Making a living and making a life doesn’t have to point in two opposite directions.
15. The real betrayal is forgetting yourself.
16. Pursuing a quest brings purpose to your life. Purpose fuels grit and grit fuels accomplishment.
17. People generally live up to the identity you assign to them.
18. Worries never lead to anything useful but wonder and curiosity ignites creativity, and that leads to fulfillment.
19. The real fight in life is the fight to discover and live one’s passions.
20. Solo travel helps you recognise patterns within yourself and that’s how you discover your true self.
21. Traveling allows you to detach yourself from your believes and certainties and, instead, become curious, attentive and spontaneous.
22. You dont need to be a millionaire to live the life you dream of, you just need little money and some courage to buy for yourself freedom from institutionalized slavery, aka employment.
23. Deep thinking happens naturally when you are transiting.
24. During your formation years, it’s better to keep breaking and making new circles because the people you spend time with transfer their beliefs and mindset to you without you even realizing it.
25. View from your office does affect your productivity and efficiency.
26. Having purpose is a human need. Bullshit jobs take that away from us.
27. The purpose of life isn’t to do or to accomplish. Its to merely experience.
28. Aimless walking is a cure to many problems in life.
29. Giving up other people’s definition of success is incredibly liberating and ultimately leads to self discovery.
30. Everyone is going to have a different definition of success.
    But at the end of a life, the person who wins is the one who has the most stories, memories, and experiences.
