RE: How (and why) To Find Your Travel Tribe

in #travel7 years ago

Feeling alone in one's ambitions and desired lifestyle is certainly more than a little tough. :c/

Many know that pain in some form or another - and until one finds a friendly harbour of familiarity and compatible interests it can quite seem like one is a small vulnerable boat in a big hostile ocean.

I am glad to hear that you found your harbour and that you are fit to sail the waters with renewed confidence. I admit that I am curious as to what circumstances need to be true for such a lifestyle choice to be sustainable.

The only other nomad that I am aware of is James Altucher.

Sort:  

I waited for a LONG, long time for the right circumstances (and partner) in order to live my desired lifestyle. I guess I reached a breaking point and decided to do it on my own . . . I was tired of waiting. Once I made that desire a priority, everything else fell into place.

I am happy for you @jannell. :c)

I know how tempting it is and how "logical" it can seem to wait to team up with others. The promise of synergy stays our hand in anticipation.

But as the days, weeks and months roll by, one unfulfilled will feel increasingly restless - and while those first steps that will be taken alone will seem messy - they undeniably take you actual steps closer to your goal - and ironically it is as one nears one's goals that one will be more likely to find those compatible individuals - or a 'tribe' - conducive to achieving that goal.

Thank you for reminding me of this.
