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.

Always-Something-Bob Davis Podcast 1057

Always Something

Due to the realities of Nomad Life It’s always something. A phrase we often use but don’t like very much. Learn more in Always-Something-Bob Davis Podcast 1057.

On The Move

Firstly I am on the move again.

Hidden Problems

Secondly being on the move often means problems develop that have hidden themselves when you’re just hanging out.

Control Emotions

Above all I’ve learned to get control of my emotions when I do have a problem.

Opportunity

That is to say stop, look up and ask yourself what the opportunity is rather than give way to your worst fears.

And so it was this week.

Off Course

First of all I was off course.

Use Maps Not Google

To clarify there is no substitute for a good actual map.

Certainly Google or Apple Maps have their uses.

Global View

But having a real map gives you a global view of where you’re headed.

Oops

Therefore that’s how I ended up in near Lake Havasu when I was headed to Scottsdale.

More Fun

However the fun does not stop there.

I Love The Smell of Diesel In The Morning

In short that’s when I noticed the smell of fuel.

Check out Always-Something-Bob Davis Podcast 1057 to find out more.

Experience

Therefore driving down a mountain nearly 25 miles with some kind of fluid pouring out of Mobile Podcast Command was quite an experience.

Pray

After praying to get to Parker Arizona and find a good mechanic I ended up at MNR Racing.

Oddly enough a church was right down the block.

The Saga Is Not Over

Finally the sags is not over at the recording of this podcast.

These guys are closed til the 10th of June.

However they have decided to check out the truck and find out what the problem is.

Remain Calm and Carry On

Finally I remained calm.

Did not allow a relatively minor problem ruin my day, or life.

Where’s That Bowl Of Cherries?

To sum up these days life on the road can be a challenge.

In addition life back in the world isn’t exactly a bowl of cherries either.

Surprises

In short life is full of surprises.

It’s always something!

(I may have referred to MNR Racing as MSM racing in this podcast. I don’t know why I do that! In any case the proper links to MNR’s FB site are linked and I can’t say enough good things about them. Thanks Again!)

#Vanlife-Rest-In-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1042

#Vanlife Rest In Peace?

Firstly could it be true that #Vanlife will rest in peace? Suddenly the negative tea on nomad life is building. Learn more in #Vanlife-Rest-In-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1042.

Beautiful Experience

Secondly I think the negative stories on #Vanlife hide an otherwise beautiful experience.

Nomad Life

Therefore in #Vanlife-Rest-In-Peace-Bob Davis Podcast 1042 I’ll explain why there is so much interest in the nomad life these days.

Not For Everyone

In addition I’ll explain why it might not be for everyone.

And that’s OK.

Different World

Most importantly our nomad life is not like life back in the world.

That is to say these two worlds are different worlds.

Don’t Bring Your Old Life Along

Even more attempting to be a full time nomad and bring your old life along can make things more difficult.

Media Doesn’t Like #Vanlife Anymore

Finally when social media takes to something like #Vanlife an impression is created.

Social Media Is Fake

Certainly I think anyone who thinks social media is an authentic representation of any experience or person is naive.

What Is Nomad Life Like?

But if you are interested in nomad life full time in a van, converted school bus or even an RV the biggest topic of interest seems to be how it actually is!

Eating Out Of Can?

For example the media seems to be obsessed with eating out of a can and going to the bathroom in a bucket.

Dirty

Writers also are certainly focused on whether or not nomads are dirty.

And further whether their rigs are a jumble of dirty clothes and candy wrappers.

Freedom And Community Is Real

Meanwhile my experience has been one of freedom and community.

Nomad Life Is Pretty Great

Above all I can’t think of too many negatives associated with the nomad life world.

Hit The Road

Seems like everyone these days wants to hit the road.

And I can’t blame them.

Push Back

To sum up we’re all seeing the beginnings of a push back on the nomad trend.

Love It

On the other hand to know it is to love it.
