relationship compromises.

In every successful relationship, there is compromise. There is give and take. I’m not a relationship guru in any way. But I know what works for my relationship. For example, I like to think I’m helping save the world by doing my part in composting. I have a bag in the fridge where we put […]

dump and jet.

I’m not talking about leaving a turd in the toilet and not flushing. I’m talking about leaving/selling your possessions and moving to another country. Making the big move! In my mind, when I read books like, The Happiness of Pursuit by Chris G. or blogs about how people started off as a digitial nomad, I […]

The Dilemma of Living Abroad and Missing Family

I’m part of a few nomad groups on Facebook and one of the common discussions is how people deal with missing family and loved ones while living in a completely different country. They seem torn between living in a place they love and feeling guilty not being close to family. I can completely understand the […]

Complacency – It’s Not All That Its Cracked Up To Be

Are you in a place in life where you thought you would be? Are you happy? Is there somewhere you’d rather be or do instead? Complacency is a thing and it’s not all its cracked up to be. If you’re here, I’m right there with you! In the end, we only regret the chances we […]

new word: slomad.

On the drive home from the lake this weekend, Bumblebae and I started to talk about this blog of mine and where it can go and lead to. I told him I was really excited about this new project of mine and was trying to get more readers and put ads up and what not. […]

long weekends.

Happy long weekend to my fellow Canadians. Working full time shift work doensn’t give me a lot of long weekends but, now that I’ve lowered my eft I will soon start having a lot more time off (so long as I don’t pick up shifts). Bumblebae doesn’t quite know what a long weekend means. None […]

i am a liar…sort of.

If you look on my homepage, its shows, ‘nomad girlfriend’ under my picture as a tagline. I suppose this would make you assume that I am the girlfriend of a nomad which in turn would then make me a nomad as well. You played into that one didn’t you!?! I didn’t mean to trick anyone […]

career options.

I’ve only ever known healthcare…(aside from waitressing in my early years). It was what I thought I wanted since High School. I didn’t even think about any other career options. Within the past 1.5 years, I’ve been really thinking about switching things up. More so because my life goals were starting to change. I searched […]

there are only 2 seasons: summer and winter.

I live in a city where the summers are blistering hot, the winters are freezing cold, and the in-between months are short but sweet. Personally, I don’t mind the winters. I walk 25min to work in the winter even. Most people think I am crazy when I mention this tidbit. As long as you dress […]
