Has anyone become a short term digital nomad and can share your experience? I’m thinking about going to a different city, renting a car and an apartment, and spending evenings and weekends hiking and exploring US national parks for a couple of months. Was it difficult working remotely and doing this? Did you book 1 Airbnb for a month or multiple Airbnb’s in different cities every week? PS This is pending COVID vaccine distribution and if it is safe to travel

Sounds like an amazing idea, and do it now because Covid won’t last forever.

Did a mix of both. Booked an Airbnb for 2 weeks, then separate Airbnb’s for each week after. Goal was to get there, see what I liked, then have the freedom to decide where to stay. I also didn’t want my timeline tied down by booking somewhere too long. Especially with delta letting you change tickets free of charge

Wow that’s great! So did you usually decide a week before where you would go next? And where did you go? I was looking to stay at a new Airbnb each week but I didn’t realize how much it would start to add up (looking around Washington and Oregon)

Considering this for a month in the summer. Any suggestions for home bases close to parks?

like

I was considering Washington because you have Olympic, Rainier, and Cascades nearby

I’ve been staying in different Airbnb’s, usually around four weeks. I think I’m going to move to one of the cities I visited permanently.

That’s what I planned to do as well. Test out potential places to move

I did a run at California national parks - stayed at extended stay America chains - cheap and flexible plus the room opens into parking lots and have kitchens. I stayed at Fresno, San Mateo, Bakersfield etc. and moved as often as I liked over a period of 2 months.

That’s amazing. Did you rent a car and just pay for a 2 month rental? Or rely on public transportation, ride share etc

I would but my wife needs her comfy room, desk, and multiple monitors :(

She dont need you though. So go be a nomad.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
