Are you, have you been, or do you aspire to be something like a "grey nomad"?

Cover more than 300 kilometers per day? Every day, or just sometimes?

I dislike economic entanglement, enjoy working remotely, love travel, and would like to be free to do lots of traveling…but 300 kilometers per day sounds like a writer’s error. I’d love to be able to travel whenever and wherever I want, but I also like to be able to stay in nice places for as long as I like.

Covid-19 did make it more difficult to drift about, especially in the USA, but it didn’t make it prohibitive.

One nomadish person I know was in India when it started to pick up, and chose to leave there before it got too problematic.

The general idea, yes. I wouldn’t be traveling the desert crossing a lot of land daily, but I like the idea of traveling for weeks to months and living in new places. Maybe with a house swap, house sitting, AirBnB, or even a hotel sometimes. I’d like to do it in my 50’s, because I feel like I’m at great risk with my genes for things like sudden heart attack.

I can see my husband and I spending time in the English countryside, or a rural part of Italy. Spain interests me too. Rocky Mountains in the US or Canada. Possibly, parts of Latin America, not sure. I probably should consider Australia, it just seems so far. Asia feels far in general.

When you search home swap and house sitting all sorts of things come up. I haven’t looked during this covid time, but I’m not quite ready to do it now anyway.

I have a girlfriend in her late 50’s or early 60’s, I don’t remember exactly, who sold her house about 8 months ago with all the furniture. She is traveling the country. Right now she is renting a place for a few months in a new city. I think she literally can fit all of her belongings in her car. It reminds me of when I was in my 20’s. She’s a retired lawyer.

Romantic as it sounds, I couldn’t do it. I’m too comfortable here at home.
It is nice having everything I need right around me.
300 km per day. What would I be searching for? A Toto Washlet toilet? A family that I enjoy? Interesting foods? Good internet? It’s all right here.
I love to travel and have been most everywhere but I always come back. I guess I’m too lazy and satisfied to “nomad.”

Besides, who’d feed my fish while I was gone? 31 lives depend upon me.

I love to travel but three weeks is usually my top limit. Twenty one days and I’m ready for my own bed!

It’s a fine romantic idea like havin ghiked the Appalachian Trail but I don’t the reality would hold up.

I did once travel the world for 7 weeks but I was much younger.
