The Nomad Lifestyle
Today’s nomad lives life on their own terms. But until about 12,000 years ago, people lived nomadically, moving from place to place.With the emergence of agriculture, we began to form permanent settlements and cultivate crops.
Fast forward to the 1960s, when we experienced the rise of the free-spirited hippie and flower generation that defied societal norms. Some hippies chose to live a nomadic lifestyle, traveling from place to place and living in intentional communities.
Today, a modern nomadic lifestyle is gaining traction. It is not as free spirited as the 60s as this new way of living is tied to economic freedom and working (and living) from anywhere. And a new wave of family nomads is emerging; not just individuals.
Currently, over 35 million people embrace the nomadic way of life, and estimates suggest this number will reach 60 million by 2030 and a staggering one billion by 2035. For many modern nomads, the appeal lies not only in traveling but also in fulfilling the ancient need for community. People enter each other’s lives, choosing whether to stay or move on to the next adventure.
And there are also digital nomad visas that allow people to root in an increasing number of countries…
