Modern Western nomadism has a shelf life. There are only so many Authentic Experiences you can have, funky bars you can visit, Before Sunrise liaisons. Ultimately itās extractive. Pick a place, maybe two, dive deep. Build.

Interesting take. I guess itās human nature to want to settle down and make your mark somewhere. The nomad life seems to last longer for some than others. Personally, never liked the idea of moving so frequently.

I think it can be fun of course but Iāve lived in a few destination spots and thereās a real and palpable sense of mistrust of the digital nomad. Itās a āwhat can you offer, what have you done for me latelyā mindset. The Good Life as provided by builders. Extract and move onā¦

Never thought of it that way. Itās completely understandable to be weary of the travellers. Itās definitely a very indulgent way to live. Iām holding hope that there are a good amount that give back to the communities they visit.

Remote tech work really put this in stark relief. Costal US salaries vs. local economies. Bozeman, Marfa, etc. Obviously tourism dollars are good, if fraught. Used to be just middle class families for the weekend. Now? Maybe Iāll buy this house as an AirBnb on a 2 month costal salary, spend 3 months here kinda thing.
