Hey! Am enjoying your site – I stumbled on it while doing research for how to continue my current lifestyle which I love – I am living in a small town in eastern China and teaching high school kids how to speak better English. The job is fun, my time is almost all my own, and it pays for me to travel and see an amazing country and culture.

I was assessing what it took for me to finally get here (two years of planning) and I wonder if you agree that by far the biggest obstacle to living a Nomad Lifestyle full of adventure and travel and challenge is: the majority of people simply are not able to get out of financial debt! It’s that simple, but also that difficult.

There are not enough resources related to this Nomad Lifestyle that address how to help us accept that most of us are brainwashed into a consumer lifestyle, realize there are other options for a passion-filled life, and how to manage and redirect your spending so you too can enjoy what anybody can achieve and a few of us are now enjoying.

Just some thoughts, check out my travel blog if you are curious about living and working in China – I just got back from eight days in Tibet!

Nice articles you have here, Dan. Will be looking forward to more. Am sure you can write a lot about the Philippines. Our beaches are (ahem) better than Bali

Thanks a lot Dan. There’s some great resources here – I just downloaded the 279 days report and will be checking it out this week.

@Dave I guess we might be able to say that we are lucky that our debt was accrued through travel and not by some less exciting method.

@ChristiaanH Many of the people in LD are highly motivated and great thinkers so I’m sure there will be heaps of projects in the works right now.

A very nice list of resources. I can honestly say that no other sources come to mind and I actually didn’t know all these. The lifestyle design niche seems to grow bigger every day though and I’m sure there will be some new resources just around the corner.

Thanks for these!

Great post Dan – some of these I’m familiar with and some are new to me. I’m also new to the whole lifestyle design idea, though I know I’ll be learning more about it in the coming months, especially when faced with a return home and the need to pay off travel debts with a “real” job.
