🇬🇧 Cultural nomadism - a lifestyle

We can move from a place to another for various reasons. One of them is to know better other cultures, to become a global citizen. Other is also cultural, when you move from a place with very limited cultural options to another with more resources on the matter. I experienced both. Culture was and is my fuel. I was born in a middle-sized city in Brazil, called Montes Claros. Once I read a quote from Plato about global citizenship and I desired to be a global citizen. I loved to read, to listen to some music and to see movies - the cultural options more accessible in that city. Some months after I move to Uberlândia - other middle-sized city, bigger than Montes Claros -, I started using the internet. It was 1999. Through Napster (do you remember it?) I discovered music (and advertising videos) from the whole world! I had a teacher who worked renting movies, that time, and she had movies which were not american blockbusters. Can you imagine my happiness walking through those corridors ...

🇬🇧 Nomadism and professions

Multinational businesses often request their employees to be available to move to other cities and countries. In these companies, not everyone really appreciates to left home, and many does not need to do this. Outside these businesses, how could we work anywhere we are in this world, choosing every week or every month where will we go?
I think, in general, autonomous professionals with a bachelor degree can work with this freedom if their souls want to fly and they're open to know other people and other cultures.
Some works require a team to be done and this team can play in multiple countries at the same time, exchanging positions from time to time, according to their power and will to create these opportunities.
Cultural nomadism is freedom. A freedom people need spiritual strength to conquer.
Even if you have no plans to move from where you are, it's worthy to read this blog. I knew a guy who said he would never left the city where he was born. Three years later he is living in another continent. Life always brings changes for us.
Some days ago, I watched a movie about the young Abraham Lincoln. There is a scene in this movie Lincoln is travelling to visit his clients' family. He asks a neighbour to tell anyone who asks for him he was at his office. "Where is your office, mr. Lincoln?", asked the man. "It's under my hat", answered Lincoln.
Can you do your job considering your office is anywhere you are with a smartphone or a computer to communicate with your clients? Do you trust your talents and qualities to live in different places, away from family, making new friendships in each new town you arrive?

Nycka, the nomad.
