Born and raised in China, the concept of a nomadic lifestyle never quite made sense to me. It seemed frivolous, unrealistic, perhaps even a little misguided.

 

Nonetheless, I took a gap year to explore the world. As I did so, I constantly questioned myself. What do I want to gain from this? Am I wasting my time? Should I be doing something more practical? And what will happen to me once it is all over?

 

Inevitably, I turned to those around me, curious to see what answers they had found.
