How-Nomads-Battle-Loneliness-Bob Davis Podcast 1113

How Nomads Battle Loneliness

Firstly How-Nomads-Battle-Loneliness-Bob Davis Podcast 1113 is a response to a subscriber’s question. Secondly it’s a good question. How do nomads battle loneliness?.

Secondly I had to think about this one.

Lonely Isn’t On My Agenda

Because the state of being lonely is foreign to me.

Being Lonely Versus Solitude

Therefore I think the real question is what’s the difference from being lonely…

…and enjoying solitude?

In fact solitude is a feature of nomad life.

Certainly from the outside it might appear to be lonely.

But my experience is that it isn’t.

For example consider Thoreau’s musings about solitude.

Getting Away From People

To explain I decided to go on the road permanently in part to get away from people!

Spending Time Learning And Exploring

With this in mind I also have to point out nomad life isn’t always spent alone.

I am spending more time in places I visit for one thing.

And that means time with friends and family.

Nomad Life Is Social Too

In addition in the campgrounds where we gather life is actually quite social.

Okay With Yourself

The first thing to remember if you’re hitting the road is you will spend a lot of time alone.

Accordingly you have to be okay being by yourself.

Hence How-Nomads-Battle-Loneliness-Bob Davis Podcast 1113.

Melancholy Cousin

Given these points nomad life is a celebration of solitude with no thought given to its melancholy cousin.

Too Much Social

Above all I think there’s too much influence in our society on the social aspects of life.

For instance people at Yellowstone Park recently running to capture selfies with a black bear and her cubs.

Or racing from one overlook to the next at the Grand Canyon to take pictures…

Never actually experiencing the canyon.

Digital Tether

Without a doubt we are uncomfortable without our digital tethers.

Equally important is the emphasis placed on social intelligence.

Even more getting along with others.

I think too much emphasis.

Finally how do we battle loneliness?

Embrace It

To sum up we embrace the wide nomad world as it is.

Endless Vista

All in all our world is an endless vista waiting to be explored.

Often in solitude.

Peak-Summer-Bob Davis Podcast 1105

Peak Summer

Every summer there’s a point in time I call Peak Summer. This year for Peak Summer I feel like sharing some sounds and memories in Peak-Summer-Bob Davis Podcast 1105.

Only In A Podcast

With this in mind I’d like to say this is something one can only do in the Podcast format.

To enumerate these days I have reactivated my YouTube Channel available here.

This Won’t Work On Video

I’d like to point out I could not do a video feature like this in the video format.

Or a video form of this podcast that would do the topic justice.

Sound

All things considered I started with sound.

Summer Sound

For example every year at the peak of winter I do a Summer Sounds podcast.

When I produce these summer sounds podcasts they are constructed with several tracks of ambient audio from peak summer.

Secondly I love sound.

Emotions…Memories

And sound generally evokes emotions and memories.

Therefore this podcast features some great summer sounds…

And memories.

Childhood

It’s important to realize most of the time summer sounds dredge up childhood memories.

Hoping To Trigger Your Childhood Summer Memories

So I’ll relate a few in the hopes your own halcyon memories will be triggered.

Try Headphones

In the same fashion I should recommend headphones.

But only if you can’t fully hear the sound behind the voice in Peak-Summer-Bob Davis Podcast 1105.

Pure Freedom Summers

Above all in childhood we had six or seven weeks of pure freedom every summer.

In spite of whatever else was going on these were the only moments of pure freedom many of us have experienced in our lives since.

All in all we can be sad about that…

Or accept the responsibilities of adult life.

Vacation From Today’s Tense Times

However there’s nothing like sound and memories to take a brief vacation from adult life.

For a brief moment in any event.

2023 Summer

In truth so far the summer of 2023 has been one of the best.

Even more in a few weeks the adventure will continue as I head to New England.

And then back to the South West in September.

Yes I Love Summer

I summary of course I love summer.

And Love Sharing It

And I love sharing it with listeners.

Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088

Summer Sounds 2023

Firstly it’s the peak of winter over North America and therefore time for a Summer Sounds Podcast. Put your headphones on for Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088.

Recording Summer Sounds For Years

Secondly since around 2015 I have been recording summer sounds.

Spring Is Around The Corner

And then when spring seems right around the corner.

But Winter Is Still Here

But winter proves resilient.

Time For Summer Sounds

It’s time for a Summer Sounds Podcast.

Immersed In Summer

Above all listening to these summer sounds podcasts immerse the listener in summer.

Colorado

Whether it is a beautiful Mountain Town in Colorado.

Ten Thousand Feet Up

Or the delicious sound of the wind on a ten thousand foot mountain peak.

Lakeside

Certainly the sounds lakeside.

Bugs

The bug and birds.

Truck Stops and Lawn Mowers

Finally a truck stop in the southwest somewhere, a lawn mower and a drum circle.

Monsoon

Of course there’s a full on summer monsoon storm in Utah and the sound of the crackling campfire.

No Talk

Furthermore after the introduction there’s no talk until we say goodbye near the end of this podcast.

Winter Can Be Just Too Much

To sum up when we get this close to warmer weather it seems like winter can be just too much.

Loam Of Summer’s Eve Beckons

Even more the loam of a summer evening is immersive and peaceful in the midst of a difficult time.

Love Producing Summer Sounds

I enjoy producing these podcasts as much as I hope you enjoy listening to them.

A Life Outside

In addition now that I travel full time I am outside all the time and all through the seasons.

Grateful For The Back Roads

Above all I am grateful I’ve had the opportunity to experience the mountain peaks, small towns, national parks and back roads of the United States these past years.

Wild Things

In the same vein there’s a lot of wild things to see and hear.

Great To Share

And it’s great to be able to share with subscribers and listeners.

Original Content

In conclusion it gets more difficult every podcast to do something original.

Certainly when you’ve done over a thousand podcasts.

And when the standard talk topics we hear out there don’t fit in this venue anymore.

Passion For Travel

On the other hand I know we all share the passion for travel and the desire to hit the road.

Even if it’s just every now and then.

Especially during the glorious summer months.

Headphones On

In short grab a beverage, put on your headphones and turn it up.

Prepare to be transported to the peak of summer.

Even if it’s just forty minutes.
