  • Huh I didn’t know this has a name! My partner and I are both nomads/‘slowmads’.

    Definitely a solid way to go. We’ve been at it for over 2 years, primarily using Air BnB but sometimes VRBO, Booking.com, or sometimes a few others - found a great place on a site in Hawaii for 4 months that rents to nurses typically because they have short term contracts, but not only restricted to nurses.

    We’ll stay between 1 week and 3 months depending on the travel goals.

    We’ve done what you mentioned - purchase any essentials not already in a place (desks, coffee makers, etc) then about 2 weeks before leaving post it all on FB marketplace and usually make back 50% or more of what we spent.

    The only real challenge is the best deals and availability happens when you can book it several months out at least - if you wait until a few weeks before, it’s slim pickings and usually pricier. But that requires you to have a full route planned for 6+ months.

    But! We always ensure to find places that are fully refundable, and mark in the calendar the last day to cancel, and that minimizes the risk if plans change 6 months from now.

    Good luck!
