    If the ability to be a digital nomad had occurred earlier in my life I probably would have gone for it. Now I kind of don’t want to be away from my parents because I know they won’t be around forever. Plus I have a house and other commitments I don’t want to be away from.

    Americans said “well there’s no where to gentrify in America, let’s find some new countries to raise rent prices in” lmfao

        I currently do work remotely from home in the US. Not long ago I was seriously considering being a digital nomad, though. Seeing this makes me feel like maybe it might not be such a good fit for me 😔

            I’ve been doing okay at getting to know the locals in here Dallas, Texas since I moved here a few years ago, but interacting with people has never been my strong suit. I am improving though. It wasn’t too long ago that I would have said knowing your neighbors is unimportant. Nowadays it seems necessary for survival. Never too late I suppose ¯_(ツ)_/¯
