13 Years as Nomads: The One Thing We Were Missing (& Why We’re Craving Community)

Send us a text

In this episode, we’re getting real about something we’ve struggled with after 13 years of full-time travel—deepening and maintaining friendships. When you’re constantly moving every few months, it’s hard to build a community, and making new friends in your 30s and 40s? Yeah, not exactly easy.

One of the BEST parts of our nomadic life is that we have amazing friends all over the U.S.—we love that! 

But the downside? It’s hard to maintain and grow those friendships when everyone is spread out across different cities, living totally different lives. Staying connected takes effort, and sometimes, it feels like we’re always catching up instead of truly doing life together.

We’ve loved our adventure-filled life, but we’re also realizing that after over a decade of movement, we’re craving deeper roots—a community we can actually pour into and grow with. 

In this episode, we’re sharing:

✨ The biggest thing that’s felt missing from our lifestyle
💡 Why making (and keeping) friends as an adult is so freaking hard
🌍 How travel changes friendships—for better and for worse
🔄 The shift we’re making to create a home base & build real connections
💬 Our thoughts on balancing adventure with stability
