What a great idea! Thanks for hosting this!

1. Hello everyone! My name is Dana, and I live in New Mexico, USA. I'm an artist, writer, photographer who has always struggled to fit these things in around a regular job so I can pay the rent. This spring, I decided to try a different approach, so I quit my job and bought a 20' travel trailer which I am now living in while I prepare to become a full-time nomad. It's my hope that by radically simplifying the way I live, I can slow down and spend more time going deeply into the things I love and also live closer to nature.

2. My Substack is called Nomadica. Its a photo-documentary & exploration of nomad life (and life in general) in the form of journal entries, musings on nature and the unseen, and tips and resources for people who are interested in becoming nomads. It's also about minimalism, alchemy, learning to listen to your inner voice, and the process of creation. https://nomadica.substack.com/

3. My tip- I try to lay under a tree every day, for at least fifteen minutes, and just allow everything to be as it is. Stop trying to solve my problems for a while. Just be with this magnificent, still, being, and listen and tune in to what my body is feeling and let the earth hold me. The busier I am, the more important it is to do this.

Habit I'm trying to break- working until I'm exhausted. I know I need to pace myself and rest more, but that's crazy hard right now because I have so much to do and a limited amount of time to do it. I have to be on the road by the end of October, so anxiety is driving my striving. Thus the importance of making tree-time every day!
