What is Backpacker to Nomad
If however this is your first time reading my posts and are wondering what ‘Backpacker to Nomad’ is let me tell you.
This Backpacker to Nomad book is a travel memoir consisting of a collection of travel stories from the first five years of my long-term traveling life. It goes deep into certain situations, experiences moments I’ve experienced over the years showing how my intended one-year trip turned into the first five years of my nomadic life.
It dives into my mindset, attitude, and perception of people and the world at that point in time to show how and why my views and perspectives on practically everything changed. It focuses on just how clueless I was at the beginning of this crazy life I live.
Along with my own views, the book journeys through many of my adventures and misadventures and weird encounters I’ve also had.
