RE: New Topographies : Designing for a Nomadic Future

in #life8 years ago


When I was 20
I got a letter.
It began
"Greetings...you are hereby...."
you can fill in the rest.
For the next ten years I went hither and yon...
after I was released from military service.
Some time later I became a trucker.
for over two decades my normal day was.
Wake up in one state.
Go to sleep in another.
After twice around the world in the military.
and 2.5 million miles as a trucker
Do you reckon I could claim to be a

Nomad?

I've lived the life style

Awesome. I sincerely dig it. We're all a little bit hither and yon... also the name of my art collective @hitheryon :)

I live on The big Island of Hawaii and have met many young people in early to mid twenties that are traveling the world with their back packs. They go to wolfer.com, pick where they want to go, contact the person who has a job opning, buy a one-way plane ticket and gooo..They work for shelter and food and some get paid. Most sleep in tents, some share rooms in homes..etc. They stay until they earn enough money to move on to their next destinations. I have personally sponsored several of these young wanders and oh what a joy they bring to me!! Three of these beautiful souls decided to stay on Island, get full-time jobs and moved into their own places. The all still stay in contact and drop in to visit and give me lots of hugs. No way a digital world could ever replace that personal connection!!

Thanks for you beautiful post. Helped me realize just what an important role we have played in each others lives. Glad I found you!!

Would love to resteem this but not showing link??

Great idea to sponsor young people who just got started! And of course, nothing can replace the personal connection between people.

No it cannot!!
