TIPS FOR ASPIRING GLOBAL NOMADS

Don’t take too much. Determine the bare minimum that you need to survive comfortably. Then get rid of the rest. “What’s left over is the amount of junk you need to move with you,” says world traveler Ian Hunter. But don’t go overboard. You can’t live out of a suitcase forever.

Don’t forget to work. Reality check: “You will not always be on vacation,” says Elijah Masek-Kelly, who currently lives in Bolivia. He works normal business hours and explores the country on weekends. “Even when you are traveling constantly, you still need to find a work-life balance,” he warns.

Don’t overthink it. “There will be lots of naysayers who want you to conform to their way of thinking,” says Emma Pamley-Liddell, who is on the road with her husband and three children. “But life is an adventure. You should grab it.” That’s true. If you overanalyze the opportunity to untether, you will almost certainly talk yourself out of it. Life’s too short.
