Celebrating Two Years A Nomad

Firstly very happy to be celebrating two years of nomad travel. Of course year two is very different from year one. Learn more in Celebrating-Two-Years-Nomad-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 1077.

Review and Travelogue

Secondly reviewing the year takes the form of a travelogue.

Thanks and Appreciation

And there are many people to thank along the way.

Fuel Prices

Certainly fuel prices dictated a change in how this nomad travels.

Most importantly I like to drive.

That is to say I am one of these people who can cover a lot of ground.

Quartzsite

But at the beginning of this second year of nomad travel those fuel prices grounded me in Quartzsite, Arizona.

More To Nomad Life Than Driving

As a result I realized this is life is like peeling an onion.

New Layers

Therefore getting down to the new layers this year meant friendships and more.

Remembering Details

In addition I had to review images and podcasts from the year to remember details!

Like A Dream

In other words much of this life is so much like a dream sometimes that’s how you remember it.

Utah and Colorado

For example reviewing images on my phone made me realize I did do some travel this summer.

And got to know Utah and Colorado pretty well.

Friendships

Above all this has been a year of developing friendships and realizing the benefits of the nomad community.

Adventure

As well as quite a few adventures.

Stories In This Podcast

Certainly I’ll tell a few stories from the experience in this podcast.

A Nomad’s Childhood Roots

However I go back to my childhood for some snapshots that explain the drive to hit the road later in life.

Healthier Life

More importantly I have outlined the reasons I think this lifestyle is actually healthier than life back in the world in previous podcasts.

Community and Bonds

Even more it’s the community and bonds with people I have met that made the most of the year.

Nature Of Our Time

Finally I don’t think any of us know where we’ll be in a year.

Indeed that seems to be the nature of the time we’re living through.

Choices

On the other hand we do have choices.

The Road Is The Prescription

Hitting the highway for adventure and growth certainly was the prescription for me.

Nomadlife-Healthy-Life-Bob Davis Podcast 1076

Nomadlife Is A Healthy Life

Above all if you’re a nomad I say #nomadlife is Healthy Life. Find out why in Nomadlife-Healthy-Life-Bob Davis Podcast 1076.

Research Study Shows

Firstly this podcast is based on research results for people younger than 24.

Hit Hard

Certainly they have been hit hard the last few years.

Older People Too

But older people have suffered too.

Aging Ten Years In Two

Secondly we’re talking about aging ten years in two.

How To Be Saved From The Same Fate

And I believe being a nomad has saved me from the same fate.

Podcast

Therefore I did a quick podcast on the study results.

Less Open

For example the study shows people to be less open, responsible and social in general.

Nomadlife Requires The Opposite

On the other hand I find nomad life requires us to be more open, responsible and social.

To clarify I certainly didn’t start out that way.

But over time these qualities emerged.

Stresses Back In The World

In addition the stresses back in the world have not been a part of my life the last two years.

Aged Quickly

In the same vein do you feel someone in your life is aged quickly the last few months?

Or become more brittle?

Open Road

During the struggles of the last few years I’ve been on the open road.

And it has been a tonic.

Depictions Of Nomad Life Inaccurate

However most of the depictions of nomad life suggest it is not healthy.

It’s Not Easy

Most importantly it is not necessarily easy.

But what life is?

Mental Health Qualities

Finally one of the measures of mental health is how you score on empathy, responsibility, creativity and social activity.

And nomad life requires those qualities.

Commonalities Not Differences

In short we tend to emphasize commonalities rather than differences.

But back in the world the opposite is usually true.

Not Easy

In conclusion life on the road isn’t easy.

And it’s not for everyone.

Positive Results

But it does have some pretty positive results.

Love The Open Road

That is to say community, helping and being helped, the open road and fresh air are pretty healthy.

Reflections-From-The-Desert-Bob Davis Podcast 1075

Reflections From The Desert

Firstly the desert is a perfect place for reflection. Learn more in Reflections-From-The-Desert-Bob Davis Podcast 1075.

Creative Process

Secondly what’s your creative process?

Certainly there’s a lot to discuss about creative process in this podcast.

Free Wheeling Discussion

And a lonely desert with a campfire is the perfect spot for a free wheeling discussion.

Slow Is Fast

Above all I have learned working slowly is actually working fast.

And thorough.

Hyper Person

Of course people have thought of me as a hyper person.

One Thing At A Time

But in fact I like to work on one thing at a time and follow it through.

Stacking Creative Projects

Therefore stopped down in the desert means working on a writing project I’ve given myself.

As well as these podcasts.

Podcast Ideas

In fact developing unique ideas for the podcasts can be difficult these days.

Social Scrim

That is to say my listeners and subscribers know I refuse to get in the political social scrim.

Deeper Issues

However I do feel that advancing the story means talking about deeper issues.

Recent Podcasts Have Been Heavy

As a result some of the podcasts recently have been pretty heavy.

Time for an easy talker.

Campfire

So a campfire is just the ticket.

Structure

I also sum up the structure of my days out here.

Fuel Prices

Due to high fuel prices most nomads I know are hunkered down for the winter.

Southwestern Arizona

In fact Southwestern Arizona is perfect.

Perfect Fall Day

For example now that the monsoon is over everyday out here is like a perfect fall day in the Upper Midwest.

For the rest of the winter.

Channels Of Thought

Most importantly writing in addition to podcasting changes the channels of thought in a good way.

And I think will result in a sense of accomplishment after the winter months pass.

Second Year Anniversary

In short as I come up on the anniversary of a second year of nomad travel there’s a lot to talk about.

First Year

Finally the first year seemed to be in almost constant movement.

Second Year

On the other hand the second year has been a completely different vibe.

Experiences

In conclusion the great thing about nomad life is the experiences the nomad gives himself.
