Hey there, I’m living the life of a digital nomad after an early retirement from corporate IT/telecom. I’ve ditched all my stuff and have been floating around since I retired. It’s a bit unpredictable – I often don’t know where I’ll be in a few weeks. Technically, I’m based in the US (currently using a virtual address in Miami just for doctor visits) but I don’t actually live there. As Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes put it, “home is wherever there is you.”
I like to think of myself as a ‘last century American’ or maybe just an Earthling or MilkyWayaan. I’m not really feeling the vibe of the craziness happening on both sides of the fence these days. Over the past year, I’ve traveled through Japan, then hit up London, Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest. Right now, I’m hanging out in Australia and New Zealand. But come late October, I need to head back to Miami for some doctor appointments. After that, who knows where I’ll end up next?
In my travel history, I’ve checked out places like Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, England, Chile, Peru, Belize, Guatemala, and a good chunk of Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. For my future destinations, I’m eyeing places like Costa Rica, Vietnam, Singapore, Buenos Aires, and the Greek Islands. I’m all about soaking up the sun, so any suggestions for places where the daytime highs are over 50°F and the nights don’t dip below freezing are welcome.
Life as a digital nomad is all about embracing the unknown and going with the flow. It’s about freedom, exploration, and connecting with different cultures and people around the world. So, if you’ve got any tips on where I should head next or if you’re out there living a similar lifestyle, hit me up. Let’s swap stories and maybe even cross paths somewhere along the way. Cheers to the adventure!
