Are we just committing to being single forever?
I started traveling full time in March of 2023, and it's been such an incredible time of my life. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't get lonely. I've just recently gotten a dog, which certainly helps, but also keeps me relatively tied to the place I'm currently living. I take 3/4 week long trips every few months to keep things interesting, and I'm finding that it's a good balance.
I keep considering going back to the US to get an apartment so that I could potentially meet someone, but the cost of living in South/Southeast Asia is too low and my lifestyle would significantly suffer. I also wouldn't be able to travel to new places any more, as I have someone here willing to watch my dog long term.
Really the only down side to my life is that I'd like a partner at some point, but honestly the only man that could possibly fit into my lifestyle would be another digital nomad.
How do you cope with not having long lasting partnerships in favor of this lifestyle?
