Just because I’m stationary doesn’t mean I’ve stopped moving toward my goals. I have to regroup a bit but I will get there in the end. Right now, I’m rooted—but temporarily. This is the quiet before the road calls again. And I’m using this time intentionally—not just to dream, but to prepare.
Saving for nomadic life isn’t just financial.
It’s emotional.
It’s spiritual.
It’s about alignment and patience and resisting the urge to rush when something sacred is forming.
Here’s how I’m saving for the road while living in one place:
- 💻 Working as an office assistant, while taking time in my down time to build a client base again as a virtual assistant.
- 🛍 Selling handmade jewelry and art through The Mystic Moth Co.
- I’m also selling things that do not fit the lifestyle. So all of my soap making equipment is on Facebook Marketplace right now because making soap on the road just won’t work.
- 📊 Cash budgeting with clarity and trimming what doesn’t feed the dream.
- 💰 Automating deposits into my “Road Fund” every month.
- 🔧 Collecting gear slowly—second-hand, high-quality, and with intention.
- 🧰 Teaching myself camper maintenance and mobile-living hacks. You’ll see these in the “Resources” section soon.
- 📝 Creating content now so I have a foundation when I hit the road, which is what this blog and my Youtube Channel is building towards – helping me create passive income to sustain my future.
I’m not stuck. I’m strategic. The goal is to rid myself of excessive materials within the next year. By August 2026 I will have only the clothing items I need for 2 weeks, materials for jewelry making, camp gear, Willow necessities and that’s it!
Due to having to file bankruptcy, I’ll be paying down my debt in 3 – 5 years so I will also be using that time to penny pinch and put away every extra bit of money I can hustle and make on the side towards my Road Fund but that goal is to get $10,000 in there and buy some kind of rig when I finally have that much saved.
Stillness isn’t stagnation. It’s soil and I’m using this season to build something strong, so I can roam free, fully prepared, and beautifully unbound.
