What is a Nomad?
Nomads are individuals who travel and work from various locations around the globe. They may do this either for themselves or with companies that permit telecommuting – some nomads do this full-time while others come and go every few weeks or months.
Some nomads enjoy flexible careers such as web design and virtual assistant services, which allow them to live anywhere with an internet connection. Others choose slow travel – spending longer periods in each destination and exploring beyond tourist sites – an effective way to learn about a country and its people; yet maintaining this lifestyle for an extended period may prove challenging.
Another type of nomad is a digital nomad, who does all their work through the internet while traveling. These nomads typically comprise younger individuals; whether for work or pleasure travel. Their income typically surpasses that of traditional nomads.
Many nomads are hunter-gatherers, following seasonal availability of wild plants and game. Organized into bands, these hunters-gatherers move daily or on an established pattern such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly movement to prevent areas becoming depleted too quickly. Nomadic hunting and gathering lifestyle is one of the oldest forms of subsistence known to humanity.
Other nomads travel for more spiritual reasons. They might explore the world in search of meaning or enlightenment, or they might help raise funds for charities – these so-called peripatetic or wandering nomads can be found throughout industrialized nations. Yet even without such specific motivations for travel, everyone can benefit from seeing more of our global community and learning about its cultures.
