The "nomad" posts always bugged me, especially when it's someone traveling around the world by working odd jobs and relying on the kindness of strangers. They're always presented in a way to make you feel bad about having a steady 9-5 working for "the man" when you could be seeing the world and being free. They conveniently leave out the fact that their lifestyle is completely dependent on the majority of people working steady jobs, and if everyone was a nomad like them, they'd have no picturesque villages to visit, roads to hitchhike on, or restaurants willing to give you food in exchange for washing some dishes.
