Love this. As a digital nomad for the past 3 years, I super connect to the choice I made to make travel into a lifestyle. I do have to admit that I rarely share with others how incredible my life is now. I feel bad for people who hold off, postpone, or only get to experience new places in small snippets. There is something about immersion in different cultures for creating paradigm shif that I can't imagine living without.

If you ever need a place to stay in Milwaukee, message me. I’d offer Eugene too but I know you have your peeps there.

As someone with the soul of a traveler and the life of a traditional homemaker, I have found so much freedom in practicing “openness, joy, optimism, deep noticing, and deep reflection” while I am rooted in one place. I would love to read a book that talks about having that traveling mindset of wonder no matter where you are or how long you are there.

I'd love to have a longer conversation with you on this topic, Meagan—I'm a bit of a pessimist on this subject. I see it as a sort of next-level Zen challenge.

Yes let’s! I’d love to hear your perspective! I am a helpless optimist and often find myself running headfirst into the sliding glass door of reality. 😬
