Things I didn’t know I’d need
A few quick trips to Amazon got me the essentials.
The psychology of decision-making
You can’t make decisions with information you don’t have — like whether or not there will be a pandemic.
What gifts do you give a nomad?
Here’s how to celebrate the nomad in your life without weighing them down with more things!
What’s a Boston bus doing in Wisconsin?
Who’s more lost: me, or the MBTA?
How do I get around?
Plane, train, or automobile?
Why become a nomad now?
I could’ve done this years ago. Why did I wait to become a digital nomad?
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.
How do I choose my destinations?
Instead of Paris, Tokyo, and Belize, why am I going to Syracuse, Durham, and Havre?
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?
I spent 7 weeks in Havre, Montana, reconnecting with old friends, far away from the pandemic and social unrest. #HavreMT #Roadbits https://roadbits.net/havre-montana/
I forgot or overlooked that my Airbnb for the next month has a shared kitchen. That's not something I'm thrilled with under normal circumstances, and especially during a pandemic. 😞 #Roadbits
My favorite Massachusetts traditions, from bike rides to corn mazes to a cappella concerts—I hope they'll all be waiting for me when I'm done being a #DigitalNomad. #roadbits https://roadbits.net/annual-traditions/
Even though the @kobo Aura ONE is discontinued, I ❤️ its support of @OverDriveLibs & @pocket. #ebook #ereader #roadbits #digitalnomad https://roadbits.net/adapting-to-ebooks/
@FloppyDays I won’t be seeing the best parts of Montana, but I’m looking forward to a month in Missoula starting next Saturday! #roadbits
