You're right, it's so much simpler to own less, have fewer chores and not have all the tasks of being a homeowner and paying bills. Life today for us is extremely authentic. We are now almost fully self-sufficient in food, that's amazing. The boys all work part-time, our bills are small, but this moring I've done a load of washing, put away another, vacuumed, sanded and painted some railings that were rusting and emptied the litter trays. Most of that you don't have to do in a hotel where somebody else cleans and does the laundry. Give me simple please! But I was very aware that in Jan and Feb when we were travelling in Asia we were suffering from polluted air, fluoride in water, processed foods, weird sleep patterns, and more. I'm very picky about what I ingest at home, and you can't be that way when you travel. So it's swings and roundabouts. We have managed to keep possessions, particularly clothing, very minimal ever since, though. That helps financially and in decluttering your home and mind. But I know for sure if we were sufddenly homeless I could easily just pack what we needed into backpacks and not miss one thing from home, other than the animals, I'd very happily go back to nomadic.
Definitely agree that being nomadic is sometimes not so healthy, as you can’t be so picky about what you eat and your wellbeing routine. There’s always for and against, isn’t there?
