Thanks for reading — glad you liked it :)
I note those because I see them as places that help define who I am. Texas is the home that shaped the first 18 years of my life, and NYC is where I spent college internships and lived the last 2 years of my pre-nomad life so it feels like my professional + adult home.
I often say that one reason I can be a digital nomad for so long is that I don’t have a home to go back to — no apartment of my own or place that I can daydream about returning to. Not having those roots makes me more free to wander. But I am starting to miss having a home in some ways, so we’ll see what the next year holds.
You raise an interesting point though, so I’m going to let it rattle around in my head a bit and maybe it will turn into another post.
