Most people genuinely believe that they would be happier if they could travel. They don’t realize that if they are already sad it will only continue with enough time. There is no magic trick to take you out of your problems. You don’t like a 9-5? Traveling while having a 9-5 won’t make you like it more. Being a digital nomad is great, and I would never take it for granted. Most people can’t even travel until they are retired and in their late ages. Any little inconvenience while traveling is not an issue with being a digital nomad, it’s a common issue that travelers all experiences. That is unless you have a 9-5.

Reminds me of this all-time great SNL skit: Romano Tours (https://youtu.be/TbwlC2B-BIg?si=RfxR6b8oQW4JOJA2)

  "We can take you on a hike... We cannot turn you into somebody who likes hiking."

You will be sad, but the real question is if it’s better to be sad on a tropical beach sipping a Mai-Tai or sitting in your suburban home in a cold climate during the long winter months. I can say from experience (have taken a few stints working from home in a warm location over the winter) one is not like the other.

It depends.

If you are going through something, it's good to have long-term relationships to lean on. The hardest part of long-term travel for me is loneliness. I could be a digital nomad, but my friends make me miss home after 4-6 weeks.
