To everyone who has started or thinking of starting their own business: Believe in yourself and never give up!

[CrivasOficial]

Hey! Definitely you got all the points!

Just adding, I consider a digital nomad myself, because my work is 100% online, I’m not attached to any place if I don’t want to… I think thats what makes me a digital nomad. I don’t travel all the time tho… I think it is exhausting…

Digital nomad for me is travelling when I want without depending on a specific city. I’m doing like 2 or 3 travels per year, about 1 month each, and im loving it. No FOMO, and no burn out.

As a digital nomad, I love the video. You are exactly describing the pro and cons. To be able to close my own door, I am now traveling in Europe with a Camper. I found that I really need to feel at home somewhere and the camper is providing that. Slow travel is crucial in my experience as well. In addition to what you said, I get out of my work rhythm when moving locations (which is basically fine) but I have a hard time getting back into the rhythm again, so I skip a lot of days until I'm settled in the new place. Nevertheless, I love this life! Now I also rent a small apartment in Hamburg to come back to.

I so understand the deep but short relationships. I’m at that stage in my life now where I want a community and a sense of belonging. A sense of home. Experiencing multiple homes is such a privilege, but having *the* place where you feel at home (unfortunately it’s not really my home country for me) is the biggest privilege.
Thanks for the video Sorelle!

Where’s the first Nomad destination friends?

“Have a door that is yours” resonates with me so much at this moment.
I don’t have my place for more then two years and I feel, exactly as you said, exhausted of not having a home.
I wish it changes soon in the best possible way🙏✨🌈
Thank you for sharing🙏💚🍀

This is definitely my dream someday. I've been working towards it for a couple years but full time for the past month. Some of what you mentioned I've recently figured out and have done but during "vacations".
My last trip I traveled for over two weeks, scheduled longer stays so I'd have down time and work at the same time. I absolutely loved it. My husband and I traveled within the US but to different states and cities. So I've got a small taste of what it's like. I loved being able to spend quality time in one place. It definitely felt like that's what I should be doing.
After a month at home I was ready to go again. I get this antsy feeling that I don't know how to explain. I'm overdue to travel again even though it's only been two months.
If I had the money, I would've been gone traveling already.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I Know this channel for like a month and it is already one of my favorites! Thank you so much Sorelle for inspire us💜

[hannafodor]

Sorelle, I’ve been following you for the past few years and seeing you grow as a person is pure joy to see! And a massive example to follow ♥️ keep it up gal 💪🏼

I wish this video was available in 2016 when I was a U.S. expat living in Buenos Aires, Argentina & touring S. America for 3 months after I graduated university as a photographer. Great points! The digital nomad life can be difficult to navigate. I returned to the U.S to start a career as a professional videographer & Producer. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge Sorelle!

I always wanted to be a nomad, I'm one at hearts, since I was young. Though I can't at the moment cause I have a family now with a fiance who's uncomfortable with that since we have a toddler. I hope one day to have that life before I hit my late 30s. Though I should be grateful having a roof over my head of a apartments, , I know I'm not happy being solitary in one place. Before meeting my fiance, I was never home; I was always at my friends' house, going out of town, and etc. Freedom was my spark of life. I'm working hard to get my little camper and car; I don't have one cause my mom never took me to a DMV after we agreed, I'll take a driver class in high school, but it's ok I'm excited when the time comes!

[RachelSmets]

I'm a full-time digital nomad, 40+ and sold my home and everything. I agree to the freedom and people admiring me, but I definitely always seek long term stays! Always! because I NEED a routine and a gym and getting to know people.
I FULLY agree to needing self-discipline to get things done, maybe you can do a video about that one day?
What I do is create a routine as if I"m a locale right away, I don't spend time traveling around much at all and I always go to the same café, I pick ONE and stick to it, this to eliminate too much ''newness''
Still loving my life, but I WILL invest in a new ''door'' next year for sure! A home base.
Though I also agree on the lack of hassle of owning a home :)
Oh well...pros and cons for sure, it's a CHOICE everyone has to make for themselves.
And when it doesn't please me, I will change again :)

I’m always so excited to watch your newly released video ! I purchased your course this morning just cant wait to be October 1st 🥰✨

[kevinfrederick]

You always look so relaxed and calm and so laid back.

[daniel-lee]

I'm perfectly happy being in one place at my home, with my stuff and friends. But having the ability to CHOOSE to go whenever and wherever, and not dependent on location or selling time for income.. that's the goal!

[katielemon]

Another con I've found is the expectations you can put on yourself, and how crushing they can feel. These days when I get to a new city/country, all I expect out of myself in the first couple of days is to find the nearest ATM, the closest corner store, and a good cafe to work from. Otherwise, I let myself be a homebody and chill as much as I want, because starting fresh each time can feel physically and mentally draining!

[No-uxte]

Completely resonate with number 1. For a couple of years I moved every 6 months, with my child. It was easy and fun until it wasn't. Now in a long term rental and the stability I feel is so grounding!
