i will rent for life unless something drastically changes with my lifestyle or health.

i am transitioning my lifestyle into one of a digital nomad (i hate that term because it's degenerated into a buzzword recently) and doing extended month to month rentals in various countries soon but i do plan to put aside a portion of the year to reside where i consider home. i am not the type to stay in one place for long periods and a mortgage would constitute a complete contradiction to my personality.

over the past few years i've been embracing this part of my personality and allowing myself to travel for 4-5 months out of the year and it's been very rewarding in many ways. it turns out renting (furnished) month to month or on six month leases are actually just fine and really makes sense with how i want to live my life.

i've experimented with other work that will allow me to travel more but working remote on a computer is where i am most content and at home so that's why i see this going where it's going. it's already going this way if the last few years have been any indicator, i've just been keeping it in the united states.

and before the critics come out of the woodwork my motivator is predominantly new experiences, encounters and exposure to different ways of life. this is not some dark escape or running away from myself like you often see with some of these people with the compulsion to keep moving. wherever you are, there you are.
