The Nomad Diaries
I am a nomad.
I’ve said it before, but it’s always been tongue in cheek. A joke. Until now. Walking back from the store where I went to buy alcohol on a bad day, it occurred to me that it is no joke.
The life of a nomad is a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. The ancient nomadic people would travel, continually seeking the place that would provide the best conditions for each season. I travel, continually seeking the next experience and never dwelling in one place too long – not even when I plan to.
On good days I'll look back at my life with pride and feel like I've accomplished a great deal, like living in nine countries on five continents before the age of 30. On bad days I will think of the fact that I've moved between countries fourteen times in sixteen years, and feel homeless, vagabond – a nomad.
Keeping an open diary may be the ultimate self-indulgence, but it also takes discipline. I'm pretty confident I have the former... we'll see if I have the latter too.
