Urban Nomad: What are urban nomads?

Here Vanessa Van Petten describes what it is like to be an urban nomad. Urban nomads are people who embrace long-term travel in favor of having a home base. This can be a great way to travel cheaply and see the world less as a tourist and more as a global citizen.

We get many American urban nomads like this in our town in Southampton England, they all get on cruise ships and go on expensive cruises. she is so deep and in touch with the universe, why I could imagine her being sooooo laid back if room service at  the hotel she was nomading in took half an hour to bring her a Bavarian coleslaw sandwich and some toofou she might not complain, but would leave a tip. Maybe nomading and dental work could be the next vid? or , boob job? shop gucci nomad?

@MrChappie1971 Some people want to live and die in the same house- and that's perfectly fine. But some people have travel in their blood- and this is a way to do it and afford to do it. Having a mortgage for a house you don't spend any time in doesn't make sense, either.

i saw a youtube video of a girl that traveled in a trailer. and she picked up about 5 strangers from the street and they lived with her. they lived in walmarts parking lots at night and sat on the side of the road panhandling for a living. and they just drove from city to city doing that in a new town every day. now THATS urban nomad...

@yappertrap yeah, totally hilarioius how "important" these Hollywood City folk

think they are... and how they get it ALL Wrong. 3 weeks on the road is

not Nomadic. Sorry to pop your big shiny balloon of ignorance.

Try 3 FUCKING YEARS. And I love how they are trying to spin the word GYPSY

into something else. You gonna write a book about it too ? Probably

They've been doing this in Europe for decades. One difference is that Many European cities support it by providing accommodations called "youth hostiles"
