About This Nomadic Idea

This Nomadic Idea is about living the life WE choose. Not the one most people think we should live. Our idea is to live a more free life. Free of being held down by debt, mortgage, and stuff we don’t use. Free to live and explore when we want, how we want, and anytime we want. But most of all, to give, rather than just to take.
