Not $500, not $50, not even $10. FIVE dollars. Be nice. — I stared at the numbers in disbelief. I refreshed the page repeatedly, hoping it was just some glitch, that the earning was just not calculated yet. With a heavy heart, I had to accepted what was to be my new reality. The rule changed and I suffered some losses as…

Do you choose this life? — Do people plan to be nomads, or it just happens? That is the question I find myself asking when I look back at my life. Do we, the nomads, choose this life? Or does this life choose us? It must have started with England. I stepped into the gigantic airport, seemingly transported into a whole new…
