All nomadic peoples generally form tribes / communities and this has happened since the beginning of human existence. Nomadic life is not supposed to be experienced alone — I think this is part of the eventual conclusion you will reach with your journey with research in mental health and travelling.

I get why a lot of people are ‘blowing up’ negatively to some of the things you’re saying. I’m not nomadic yet, and as somebody with a travelling background in my heritage and somebody who aspires to live a more minimalist, travelling lifestyle in the future (#vanlife #boho 🙄) it is difficult to symapthise with people who have taken that jump and publicly state negativity; because it’s a choice they’ve made and have had opportunity to do. A lot of us are finding it very difficult to escape the system, even as business owners. However, I’m not one of these people and am on-side and recognise what you’re saying on a deeper level — nomadic lifestyle isn’t quite what you expected, but you’re still determined to make it so and that takes open communication and building community.
