- Some nomads may feel a sense of guilt that they're leaving their family & friends behind... - Or some guilt about posting fun travel stories often throughout the year.. knowing that most friends seeing it on IG have 'regular' jobs and only have a few vacations weeks per year... - Maybe we feel guilty about making ppl feel jealous all the time? - Or feel bad because maybe we're wondering if our parents feel let down that we're not going the 'traditional' route, and/or 'throwing away' our college degrees? - Or feel like we are betraying our friend groups by leaving our hometowns and being gone most of the year? - Or feeling guilty that we're not seeing family & relatives as much at all the holiday gatherings? ...Well, someone brought up some of these feelings the other day, so I thought i'd make a video about it. It's quite the rant, but I hope y'all get the point. Main points: and i'm speaking for myself and most nomads / influencers - There's no ego here - we/I don't think we're 'better' than anyone else - We don't think that this is the 'only' or 'best' way to life your life, and we don't think its for everyone .. and we don't think that if you have a 'regular' job that you're automatically not living your best life... - There's no fakery here - nothing we/I do is 'staged' just for a video or whatever - That said... YES, content creators only post the best / most fun parts of life. For obvious reasons. No one wants to watch boring / uninteresting sh!t. Of course, it's not rainbows every single day... but YES it is sunny all the freaking time in the tropics:) - YES we/I am actually really fu*kin happy and fired up about what we're doing - Overall it was OUR dream to be doing this –– all we want is for EVERYONE to be able to live THEIR dream. This was ours. To travel often, live the tropical life, and be free to take it easy and do what you feel like. To be able to structure your daily/weekly/monthly activity how you like. To be an 'independent artist'... Or 'independent athlete of business' if you like... - YES life has sacrifices... you can't have every single thing... BUT you can have a lot... and I think i speak for most nomads when I say, we PLAN on being able to spend more time with family in the future -- but the way this career plan goes -- the bootstrapping solo small-ecomm biz entrepreneur plan -- living abroad for half the living is part of it! It allows us to pursue our dream business/life SOONER than we could otherwise. And that's invaluable. - We're blessed to be living out our our dream life that we saw on youtube 6 years ago. - What's your dream? No matter what it is, there will have to be sacrificed.... but going for your dream HAS to be the most important thing. Put yourself first. This is our dream.
