- If you are considering living a nomadic life in the future but aren't sure how to begin, here are some tips and ideas that can help you. I started living the nomad life about 3 1/2 years ago and it has been one of the best things I have ever done. If a life of travel, adventure, and new experiences appeals to you then perhaps you were meant to be a nomad too!
Some of the topics discussed in this video are:
Getting rid of excess possessions (minimalism)
Getting rid of excess bills and debt
Figuring out how to make money on the road
Figuring out where you want to travel first, and more...

I've finally decided to take this seriously and get out. being stuck paying rent in a place I'm unhappy at.. working a job I don't care for. I need a big change and nothing ever makes me feel as happy as nature does.
my same exact feelings
I agree
Noticed this was a year old, how are things going?
@@eejay50 crazy you check up today.. I'm actually on my last two months of my lease right now and after that I'm packing up my essentials and heading toward the mountains out west 🙏
@@JordanDrewVideos wow, that’s like my dream lol, good job man don’t give up it’s probably gonna be the most difficult adjustment you make but I bet it’ll be the best decision you ever made
You should post your journey, I know I’d be happy to watch it
i wanted to live a nomad life before i even knew it was i thing
Same here. Glad to know there are others out there though!
Susan Matz me too since now
Sameeee
Once my daughter is old enough to fend for herself, thats the route i am choosing, i know its high risk but the rewards are amazing and i want to LIVE before i leave this realm.
My wife and I are actually pawning everything in our apartment. And getting ready to start our adventure in the nomadic lifestyle!
How has it been did you start?
1 year later....how is it?
That’s cool
Us too how is it going
How is it so far?
🎶 imagine no possessions 🎶 it’s a lifestyle choice which delivers a free soul and peace of mind. It’s amazing what we don’t need but think we do.
Jc Flynn exactly. The problem with capitalism is the stuff you own eventually owns you.
@@vitalityfox that's not a problem with capitalism it's a problem with being privileged (this has nothing to do with race. I know a lot of people associate the world privilege with race now a days and that is NOT what I'm getting at).
When i sold my home i left 99% of my "stuff" in it,, and it was like a HUGE burden was lifted off me.
Now I'm homeless & everything i really need fits in my 4 panniers & i couldn't B happier ⛺🚲
This guy has very positive energy
Cost of living is always increasing than the minimum wage. Can't wait to get out my lease and just live the nomad life and not be in debt all the time.
Step #1. Avoid marriage. (and children).
It is a great plus to not have such responsibilities lol..seriously.
I agree. My two husbands were parasites, and I raised my daughter by myself. I do not even want to start thinking about how rich I would be without them having entered my life. The husbands that is.
Marriage and children= ball and chain. Not the life for me. Im a friendly loving person but im a introvert that has been emotionally damaged for over 25 years. I dont know how to live that kind of life. Wouldnt know where to start.
Christrulesall2 same and I’m 18. Introvert here. I hate how fast paced life is.
Christrulesall2 ah bro you can always talk with me if you want! @hamoeza on Instagram
Been in my car 3 years ...thank you for this video ..I need all advice I can get ..bless you
How do you pay for your lifestyle? Just curious!
@@ninjaKelle pension and social security
WOW, ITS SO PEACEFUL.
It is super peaceful out there. That's what I love most about hiking alone. The solitude and peace.
Im not in any debt, live with family and don't have to pay rent yet, I've been saving up for a car but now im thinking instead of saving more for a van or a small rv and to just leave. Im hoping this is a good situation for me to start and im a bit excited. This video was really helpful. Thank you!
I fully agree about DEBT! The bible says in Proverbs 22:7 "the borrower is slave to lender". Once you eliminate debt there is freedom and you can do whatever you want.
Jesus was homeless
Gorgeous greenery out there. Bet the air is oh so clear.
My house just went under contract and I am about to get started. This video is perfect timing for me!
Where are you going to head to first?
Up to NY to see family and kind of introduce them to my new life and then across to the state of Washington.
I've already sold everything. All I have left is what will be going with me into the RV (which isn't much). And I can already see how I view money changing as you describe.
Jenny Bkr are you still living the nomad lifestyle and how is it
This video just changed my look on life and I’m determined to stop living my life cooped up
Watching this video now as I am about to go full time bicycle nomad. I am grateful to be getting 1800 a month from the VA after getting injured and having PTSD from being in the Marines. I will attempt to make videos of my journey, like a journal to make some side change, but 1800 is my budget to travel the world each month.
Getting a disability check provides a lot of freedom - although it can become boring after you have watched all the stuff on YT and Netflix. So when summer comes, im packing my backpack, and see how i like it outdoors.
Head outdoors Espen!
I'm 67 homeless & happier than i hv ever been, live on a small ss chek, fortunately i hv no medical condition's, not on any meds, & in good health...
Plan on living this way till i croak.
🐸 🌴 ⛺ 🚲 👍
Thank you for the informational video!!! I spend all of my time when I am not working as an independent contractor looking at the "minimalistic and nomadic" lifestyle. Sticks and Bricks are "overrated"...Thank you!!
Hopefully by October I'll have all my stuff sold and be living in the woods. Just ordered a hot tent and a wood stove to get through the winter
joining the club. BC bound.
Making my way towards that ultimately, I’m a trucker and am out about two weeks at a time and I live in my truck. Only thing that keeps me rooted are my kids, there 10 and 11 so I’m restricted to a point until there old enough etc. I’m definitely am and always have been a nomad in heart and soul, found your video by searching nomad lifestyle. Always expanding my knowledge and learning skills.
I got no bills, no debt, probably 5 pair of clothes and a laptop. Let's go!!!
Thanks Tim, you’re right! A man once told me when I told him for the third time, I don’t think I’m ready. He responded “you’re never ready you just do it.” So I did and it worked out fairly well, with faith and belief that all things are possible through God who strengthens me.
Honestly thinking about walking and just going
Nice to meet you Timothy Ward I will be following you , you made feel like I do when I get on my motorcycle I just go I take roads (paved) without direction I just go Enjoy life make bad days a lesson or experience
I was watching Jim Carey and it ignites my curiousity into this topic.Watching from the Philippines.
Im 18 and looking to finally find myself. Ive always had this hyper consumerist brain, im always trying to follow people and look nice, ive spent so much money on clothes, makeup, unnecessary items that i dont need but want just to fit in society. Im realizing, maybe this might be a life for me, or at least a gokd thing for me to do for a little while to figure myself out
I'm jealous Please be safe
I'm a nomad myself. Love your channel man! I'm just starting mine ✌
GREAT DECISION! To turn around...lol! Get out of those "bears" apartments! Stay Safe!
So happy I found this! Spending my last weekend with family than I'm hitting the road next week❤. Can't wait to see the world!
Good luck on your travels!
We have one thing accomplished. A date! May 1st we're taking on across the Atlantic.
You know I THOUGHT I had never really known anyone who was a nomad...but when you mentioned picking up a job to work for a short period of time to pay for your travels I remembered a couple of nurses aides who used to work at a local nursing home. They were from another state and they traveled to my state and others and would work as nurses aides for several months.
Good vid :)
I became nomadic due to circumstance, but, rather than letting.it drag me down I decided to embrace it.
You now find me living in a self-build vardo with my three rescue dogs, seven goats and Bill, a bull calf that I am raising to become my locomotion.
Recently, I found that I have to move on, which, considering that I needed a couple of years to raise Bill, so, I am taking the final step to reduce my already meager possessions. (the less weight I need to carry the easier it will be for Bill to pull.)
I am debt free, my income is less than $150 a month, and, I am hoping to reduce my needs even further. The thing is, since taking on this lifestyle my life has improved dramatically.
The next week will see me getting my gear together and disposing of the unnecessary stuff and pulling my camp apart.
Eventually, once I am mobile I will truly be nomadic, travelling Europe as the whim takes me. :)
🫡✊🏾💫
I just want to get out there and work and sleep in the woods, and never return to New England. No cable, no noise. No family.
GREAT stuff ! Spoke to all the things I’m preparing for . My deadline is feb 1!! Ahhh you just said Necessity Is the Mother of Invention!! Indeed my friend. One of my mantras. Thanks again
I have a hiking backpack. Enough for mountain traveling. I'm doing this one day.
Great video. Lots of good info. Thank you.
Love your classroom. Great advice and tips. Thanks. I'm researching the lifestyle and will check out more of your videos. Happy nomading to you!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO BRO
You have some great tips. Thank you.
You're such an inspiration brother, thank you
This is so helpful on the same line of what I have been thinking.
Awesome message, Tim, thanks for taking the time to pass it on
your energy is Amazing! ty
Love the channel & positive message - very inspirational in a real world sense! Have you ever had any strange experiences out in the boonies during your travels? Weird lights, strange noises, etc.?
Loving the message, and the backdrop. Thanks for sharing.
Looking to do this!! Thank you for the advice. Great scenery!!.
I like this person's energy, I'm subbing
Love your vibe 💯💪
This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful walk.....good talk, good advice.....You take care of yourself and keep going...
Hi Tim love these topics. Can you discuss the mistakes you made nomading and how potential nomaders can minimize or prevent certain issues. Again love your tips.😊😊😊
Thanks for this video, Tim. I've never watched any of your videos and found this one after researching about nomadic lifestyle and related. But yours made me pull the trigger, man! Special thanks from Brazil.
Great share, love your channel! I'm in my last job and it will be my last job; just growing the guts to actually do it. You are such a motivation.
Excellent presentation!
Good content. Thank you.
Great video Timothy!!!!
Thank you Gail!
Thank you!
you are very helpful. Thanks.
Beautiful places you hike.
YES.... Bear Spray. Excellent!
Cool video ! I did some travels in the USA as a truck driver and Europe as a touring Musician . I’ll never forget those days. Travel is a great way to expand your mind . I’m older now but I feel like I may do some traveling again someday soon . Maybe Canada . Alaska or I’ve always been curious about Australia . The world is a big place and even just the United States could take a lifetime .
Being an over the road trucker really helped my transition into nomad life 3 years ago.
Yeah,we know a little bit about it. ! Lol
be safe out there
This helped me out a lot.
Nice work!
I’m tried about race money problems trying to make ends meet I just want to live life to the fullest
Exactly! Nomad life helped me with all of those things!
Awesome content!
The views starting at 3:30 are amazing!!!
Good video thanks, subbed.
Awesome video!
That's my home on the blackfeet reservation I live not far from where your hiking. In our language we call saint Marie's area Pa"h'tooma'hTsikimii (inside lakes).
Very informative video. Beautiful scenery. Great tips. Thank you so much. New subbie here.
Thank you for being real 🥰👍
That’s a nice environment
I'm getting out there soon! I've got 2 cats and a Deville we're starting with but I'm selling it so we can do #vanlife. 💘 Thanks for all your inspiring content!
I first started by converting my car. Did that for 6 mos and paid car off and saved for a used minivan. I converted the minivan which I paid for outright and did the conversion myself. I'm finishing up work at Bryce Canyon then hitting the road again. I've met NOT many nomads yet...
Great scenery! My favorite trail so far in Glacier is 'Trail of the Cedars'. Also curious about your tee shirt logo. It's either a moose head or a bat.
It's a moose head but in the Batman logo. I got it in Alaska
Bears stand no chance against Mooseman.
Great video as always, scenery is amazing.
Mooseman has no fear!!!!
Timothy Ward 😂
Good video / info
Hi there Tim be safe out there 😬 I wish I had the courage to do what you do and maybe 10 years younger 😁 I guess it’s never too late I always see middle-age woman out there doing the same thing i’m too scared 😱
Hey Tim great video. I've always had this burning desire to want to travel & explore meeting new people. its only since recently that found out what as Nomad is since then, I've been able to put a title to myself & the life I want to live that of a "Nomad". i will start my fist journey soon.... Thanks for the tips
Loved the advice that I haven't heard yet, pick a date and do it.. mines June 30th of 2024!
Subscribed!.. thanks.
My monthly plan. I pack up things to give away. Today was that day for the month of June. This video was right on time.Thanks Tim😉
No problem, what all did you throw away this month?
I have started with clothes. Once I have depleted those masses, I will work on the things in my attic. My degree will not be fullilled for another year. Through your videos Tim, I stay inspired to keep on.
Your Video is so true. I met Crystal Vanner recently and she also gave me great advice. The nomad life I'm preparing for.
Tim, how far did you walk in this video? lol. Man, you were hoofing it at a pretty good click. Kudos for all you do. I'm watching all your videos in order now. Almost ready to leave.
Im an urbexer and this seems really like a very interesting way to live, definitely going to try this sometime, if only for a few years
I'm in the process of trying to sublease my place so I can start working seasonally because of your videos and CheapRVLiving. I'm starting to build out of my prius as a camper for day trip and looking for jobs.
My question is, if you're trying to work at a ski resort is it better to work in the town somewhere or for the resort? I want to get the most amount of time skiing as possible
It's better to work for the actual resort I think because you will usually be closer to the skiing and alot of resorts give employees free ski passes. When I worked for Big Sky Resort my co-workers were skiing all the time lol.
Thank you sir , was helpful I’m little worried , don’t like say scared , I just don’t know where go first ,
Moosman?? Cool. Your message is also great, obviously.
Hope you saw SW Sweetie's suggestion of buying eyewear with a head strap! Nothing is more terrifying than trying to spray a charging bear and then the wind pushes the spray back into your eyes. Learn how to pivot against the wind if you ever need to use it to defend yourself against a bear.
I'm so unhappy with living with others and working jobs i don't want to do to pay people who don't even like me
This comment mirrored what I'm currently going through
It’s always been a passion of mine to buy an RV and go on the road maybe someday ☺️
Any tips for 1st time filling out the online forms for Coolworks, or other national park, resorts, for seasonal work?
I love being a nomad
Thank you for this video 🥰I have my date and I’m ready😁
Love this video. Also Homeless people are the best nomads to learn .
....and if you are a homeowners , place your home on an air B&B. Never get renters it's more lucrative especially if you are living a nomads lifestyle. If you wanna sale it. Then choose the highest bitter.
How long do you stay in one place? I want to embark in a nomadic-like lifestyle, travel to a new city for 4-12 months and work and explore then move to a new city
First rule make noise when youre in the woods. A lot of bear attacks come from humans surprising bears and getting to close.
Right now I’m living in my van with just a mattress and some of my clothes, food, water tank and few provisions and this is how I’m nomadding. No amenities, no power, heat, sink, or anything. It’s comfy enough on a cold night in the south (Texas). I’m in the process of possibly selling the van for 6k and I’ve thought about using that money to pay off all my debts and backpack/hitchhike everywhere. I love a simple life. I was born to be minimalist. The only thing is, I do like to cozy in the cold, I can handle heat but I can’t handle being cold. And that’s the only part that intimidates me, when coldfronts come through. I’m sure I’d have a sleeping bag and a tent but I love nothing more than to be in a warm room in a cold night with a fireplace. I’m sure I would get used to it though. Right now my more comfortable plan is to get a reliable SUV instead and sleep in there. It’s more gas efficient than my V8 van.
thank you thank you thank you
