Both, tbh. I’m not a workaholic, but I really like my work, so I’d get bored if I didn’t work. And I have a pretty sweet work-life balance.
Travelling I like of course, but not too often, I have a really expensive mattress to help alleviate my chronic back pain and sleeping somewhere else is not a pleasant experience. So doing it once in a while is fine, doing it regularly would suck.
And last but not least, lately I like my peace and quiet, constant travelling would not go well with that.
It isn’t that you stop working, it’s that you stop working on things you don’t want to work on.
You work only on things you want to work on.
Traveling is all about peace and quiet for me, but I hear similar preconceived anxieties pretty often.
Maybe 5 days ago or something, a friend called me up, said they wish they could travel, and asked me to walk them through it again.
I told them how to get a visa (One page online application form, five minutes tops), and they said traveling just sounds so tiring and they can’t do it right now.
Tiring?
Hang out, do whatever you want or relax, go eat sometimes.
Not an exhausting lifestyle, but a lot of my friends with day jobs imagine that their lunch breaks are more recuperative than having a lunch break all day.
I wouldn’t really call chronic back pain a preconceived anxiety, but you do you.
Just accept that your lifestyle isn’t good for everyone. You found something that works well for you, congrats! Doesn’t mean you found some huge secret on how to make everyone’s life better.
There are tons of ways, teaching English overseas, trick out an RV and add solar, digital nomad, it really depends on the interests of the person.
The nice thing is that many options take almost no training or prep time.
They’re right there to take advantage of.
What do you mean you wouldn’t want to have that lifestyle, traveling or not working?

Bonkers.

The preconceived notion that travelling is tiring.
Why do you think my lifestyle is good for everyone?
I did find this huge secret, and people don’t like knowing how easily they can/could have achieved their goals.
They go on the attack as soon as they realize they’ve been wasting time.
I mean, I’ve travelled a bit and it is tiring. For me. It might not be for you, but really, your experience is not other people’s experience.
Did somebody tell you my experience is other people’s experience?
And I got to ask, what is tiring about doing whatever you want or or don’t want to?
