Everybody loves traveling. Some more than others but the idea of “seeing something else”, of experiencing something that differs from the everyday life, is the idea or even the expectation behind traveling. There are two types of traveling: “Traveling” itself which describes the movement from A to B, sometimes C, but highly probable in the end you will come back to A. Likely the movement is planned before beginning the trip and it is confined to a certain amount of time. A person moving in this way is a “tourist”. They carry the amount of clothes that they can fit into a piece of luggage (or two) and that is usually matched / adapted to the climate of their destination. Nowadays it is not even the cultural difference which brings people to travel to other countries but only the possibility to have their normal life in another place (have you ever been at a camping site where people sit in their RVs watching TV? It’s like, dude, take a walk! Do something else as you are used to!). They get the same food and talk the same language, but all that next to a beach. Sadly modern tourism businesses are more and more specialising in this kind of traveling. “Nomading” on the other hand refers to a roaming way of traveling. You start in A but then you go kuku. There is no final point B and no return point A, there is no time limit and often there is not even a plan. Logically these persons are called “nomads”. You are likely to carry all or most of your belongings with you. You are not having a place others call “home”.

In social and cultural anthropology the term “nomad” describes a group of people with a certain economical and political organisation. There are hunter and gatherers but also pastoral nomads who follow their livestock. Usually they have a seasonal base but not necessarily. These days due to change of lifestyle or border closures there are not so many traditional nomads any more. So here we will talk about “modern nomadism”.

Have you ever wondered if the life you dream of is really your dream life? Like the one that you fantasise about during the day, the one that you maybe save your earnings for, the one you discuss with partners or friends.  When I was traveling for years I had moments in which I wanted …

My Traveling Necessities

This post is not to tell you what to bring to your travels. The content of your backpack or suitcase is highly personal! Also this is not about the obvious or usual stuff like toiletry bag or an adapter for foreign outlets (that is always good to have in your backpack though!). I want to …

Traveling – Love of my life

On September 1, 2020September 3, 2020 By ifindmyjoyIn NomadingLeave a comment

It has become increasingly popular to live or call oneself “traveler” or "nomad", to live in a van and to dismiss the conventional lifestyle of society and our parents. Every person would describe their personal experience as a nomad and the meaning behind that term differently. For me being a nomad doesn’t mean yet to …
