Dear DN,

As I read your adventures with a slight envy and look forward to the day when I become one.

I am curious as to what the hidden downsides of this type of lifestyle? I have only come across 2 which are not major which 1) a sense of issolation and 2) lack of ability for brainstorming with colleagues.

​

Thanks

    Life keeps happening back home. If you have friends and family you’re definitely going to miss some stuff. And even if you make the effort of keeping in touch, long distance relationships usually deteriorate over time.

    You also won’t be able to discuss experiences and problems that arise from the lifestyle on a deep level with most people. It’s getting more popular, but we’re still a rare species.

      This. My best friend had a baby, I feel bad I haven’t been back to support him or meet the baby.
