Significant Quotes

• “Why are we, nomads? I think it is partly because we were workaholics and we were not good vacationers. We really didn’t take many vacations when we were working and just didn’t seem to be very good at that work/life balance.” 01:36
• “When we finally figured out that we had reached our fire number in 2017, we had the travel bug. Following and finding a bunch of other nomads like the Millennial Revolution and then also finding people like the Senior Nomads, we asked each other, why don’t we do that?” 02:45
