Preparing for a nomadic sabbatical
What will I be doing with three months off from work?
Going outside the comfort zone
When I realized I could become a digital nomad, my first thought wasn’t yes or no, it was: oh, dammit.
The hardest things for me to give away
Three objects in particular were almost painful to give away due to their value and rarity.
Where do I get my mail?
Here’s how I get my postal mail delivered when I’m always on the road.
How do I get around?
Plane, train, or automobile?
Where to get rid of stuff
From Craigslist to eBay, libraries to comic-book stores, I found homes for the items I was discarding before nomading.
What do I do for a living?
Working a job for an entirely distributed company like Automattic, developers of WordPress.com, gives the flexibility and freedom to be a digital nomad.
Downsizing before nomading
Books? Family heirlooms? Video games? What do I put into storage, and what do I let go?
The journey begins!
