I Sold Everything. Here’s What I Regret Most:
Hey bro,
I sold everything—my Santa Monica apartment, car, and triple monitor setup—to go full nomad.
I traveled to Mexico, Argentina, Bali, Spain, and Portugal while running my business.
If I regret anything, it’s not doing it sooner. Here are 5 lessons I never would’ve learned staying in the States:
1. Traveling Humbles You
You don’t know the language, the culture, or where to go. You’re forced out of your comfort zone.
At first, it’s weird. But then, you adapt. You level up. You become comfortable being uncomfortable. That’s growth.
2. Natives Are the Cheat Code
The first few days in a new country are the hardest. You’re an easy target for tourist traps.
Solution? Befriend locals. If you don’t know any, ask Uber drivers or restaurant servers—they know everything.
Pro tip: Always take Ubers or similar. Airport taxis will scam you.
3. Lock Down a Gym & a Barber
This sounds small, but trust me: having a gym and a go-to barber changes everything.
Routine = stability
Working out = feeling great
Fresh cut = looking sexy
You’ll settle into a new place way faster.
4. Don’t Overplan
Some of my best nights happened when I didn’t plan at all.
One night in Spain, a casual dinner turned into an unforgettable night of exploring, meeting new people, and laughing over glasses of wine.
If you planned your whole working day and spent it in meetings and hustling, just go with the flow at night.
5. Murphy’s Law is Real
What can go wrong, will go wrong.
On one trip, a beautiful apartment I booked turned out to be fake. My friends and I had to scramble last minute to find another place.
Spoiler: We found one, and it wasn’t that bad. You just have to roll with the punches.
Should YOU go full-nomad?
If you’ve been thinking about leaving your home town, do it.
Life’s too short to stay in one place. The experiences you’ll gain will change your perspective forever. And the worst case? You can always come back home.
