8 Psychological Challenges I Had to Overcome to Become a Full Time Nomad
I thought I had it all figured out—until I didn’t.
Leaving behind a comfortable life, packing up my belongings, and hitting the road full-time at 51 - sounds like a dream, right?

So, let’s dive into the 8 psychological challenges I had to overcome to make this lifestyle a reality.
