We've been homeless for two years. This is what it's really like.
For two years, we've lived out of our car, stayed in Airbnbs and short-term rentals, and spent stretches camping while traveling full-time.
On the outside, this lifestyle can look like freedom, adventure, and “dream nomad life.” But the reality behind it can be different.
Today we are sharing 5 hard lessons from 2 years of being essentially "homeless" while traveling full-time — including the unexpected challenges that most people don’t talk about. But we'll also talk about what we've done to address the challenges and make the most of our nomad life.
We'll break down:
• The hidden costs of constant travel
• How to take advantage of geo-arbitrage
• Financial risks of short-term rentals and unstable housing situations
• What loneliness really feels like while living a “nomad lifestyle”
• The reality of working remotely and dealing with no reliable WiFi
So we hope this video helps understand what it's like living without a permanent home for years.
If you’re considering long-term travel, van life, or nomadic living, we hope this helps!
