Have you ever felt like you weren’t searching for a single place to call “home,” but rather for the ability to truly feel at home—wherever you happen to be?
I know that feeling well. For me, home isn’t about a single location. It’s about freedom and mobility—the ability to move freely while still feeling grounded.
That’s why I created this site—to explore and share the path to what I like to call “Geographic Independence.”
Geographic Independence
Geographic Independence is the ability to live, work, and travel on your own terms—without being tied to a single place. It’s about financial freedom, mobility, and designing a lifestyle that aligns with your values and priorities.
For me, the urge to move isn’t restlessness—it’s a strength. It’s a call toward a nomadic way of living that has existed for centuries. Many cultures thrived through movement, not by staying in one place, but by adapting and following a purposeful rhythm of life.
As I searched for ways to make this lifestyle a reality, I gravitated towards the term “Geographic Independence.” I needed to distinguish and separate it from something similar I found online: “Digital Nomadism.”
Digital Nomadism
At first, I thought Digital Nomadism was the answer. It seemed to exemplify the ideal life of movement and mobility I was seeking.
However, most of what I found online made digital nomadism look like a permanent vacation of sorts — people hopping from one beach to another, staying in luxury hotels, and chasing thrills and Instagram-worthy experiences.
That’s not what I wanted.
Traditional nomads weren’t random wanderers—they moved with intention and purpose. They had cycles, rhythms, and strategies for sustaining their lifestyle.
I wanted that. And I realized others might, too.
