I don’t have a home. Approaching my 30s, I live my life on the road — traveling between towns and stopping every few months to pick up work.
I’m part of a community of nomads. We’re a community that’s been practicing minimalism for years now. It’s easier to take less with you when you’re constantly moving around. You might also know us as backpackers, long-term travelers, or ex-pats. We come from all walks of life and go by many different titles.

Really?! I can’t believe kids are actually going back to school – I guess it makes sense as parents can’t always be around for childcare but it’s crazy to me how relaxed the government has become after months of heavy restrictions… and yet the cases aren’t much different. Even here in New Zealand, they’re becoming more relaxed around navigating the alert levels with the recent spike in Auckland. I guess the economy needs some attention now.

Families do have the option of computer learning at home if parents and/or the kids think it’s what’s needed.
I believe most universities will be conducting online courses until January. However there are already Covid-19
cases from off-campus student parties.
It’s all one big experiment which will only work if young people behave responsibly and care about others.
