This episode was recorded right after a panel discussion in Bansko – and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. Christoph sits down with three thoughtful voices from the nomad community for a raw, roundtable conversation on identity, relationships, mobility, and what it means to belong.
You’ll hear from:
- Mariam (Armenia) on the harsh realities of traveling with a weak passport
- Milda (Lithuania) on questioning the digital nomad lifestyle and seeking balance
- Jojo (Taiwan) on breaking cultural norms and building a community back home
From visa struggles to emotional crossroads, this episode dives deep into the human side of nomad life.
Key Takeaways
- The visa process for travelers with weak passports is often expensive, uncertain, and demoralizing.
- Many nomads experience a “mid-nomad crisis” after years on the road, questioning whether they still want a fully mobile lifestyle.
- Parenting as a nomad is possible, but it requires intentional planning – world schooling, public systems abroad, and community are all part of the mix.
- Cultural upbringing shapes how we approach touch, conversation, and connection – and joining a global community can shift those patterns.
- Commitment, whether to a location, a person, or even a tattoo, often reflects deeper values around freedom and identity.
