On the idea of being a digital nomad, it's definitely not for everyone. I lived out of hostels and my car for 4 months, and for two months before that, did regular trips further and further from home. I traveled the US, did urban exploration in new and exciting places on a daily basis, and then got an apartment in my hometown. I'm happy to have the experience, and tell stories from my adventures often.

Having lived it, I now know how quickly the diminishing returns of new places can diminish.

I went through a couple of periods of my life where I did a lot of traveling and it does burn out on you - there’s something regenerating about having at least a home base to go back to. For me, usually it takes about 3-4 weeks of nonstop travel to need a break, and one year or so of what I’ll call “ongoing travel” (going someplace for 3-7 days at least once per month) before an extended break feels necessary.
