I bookmarked this as a reference. I dream of a nomad life, but with a twist: my wife and I would permanently turn our house over to a property manager to keep it rented, each have a backpack kit like Vitaly uses for changing locations, BUT: plan to stay 3 or 4 months in each location and have a few large travel trunks for each of us that we would ship to the next destinations. We are both in our 70s, so staying a long time in each place would be less tiresome and provide more time to make local friends. I prefer renting a furnished house and not staying in hotels. Our house is in a top tourist location so we would get enough rent income to pay for short term rentals wherever we stay. I am trying to talk my wife into this - wish me luck.
