I want to become a nomad!



I am not exactly sure how or why but as I lay in my bed in a daze (you know when you are kinda half awake) I kept thinking that I wanted to become a nomad. I just want to keep roaming around and never settle down. When the idea first occurred, the image of the Bedouins in Saudi Arabia living in the most dreary of conditions was the only one I could drag out from the recesses of my mind. NOT what I want. I think I would prefer becoming an urban nomad. Keep traveling to new places and shifting jobs. And not just travel but live in different places.




Well, its not like I always wanted to live a life like this(I just thought of it this morning. Talk about life-changing ideas haha). Frankly, I'd lived in one city all my life till I moved for JC. And that makes it a total of just 2 cities in 20 years!! And knowing me I would hate having to move over and over again.

Really. Packing all your stuff is the biggest bother ever!! Not to mention that it would always take time for me to settle in. But still if I ignore the bother involved in packing and stuff I think I want to keep living in new cities every now and then. Every city will have a different life, a different ambiance and a different culture. And all ill be able to do will be peak into that life.

I'm not sure if I'll want to do this tomorrow but as I sit here now that is what I really want to do!






PS: I didn't intend to put up so many Bedouin images just one to prove what an ancient idea I have of nomads. But they fascinated me so much that I had to put up a few. And there were so many more that I wanted to put up!! (maybe I'll have a post with just Bedouin images sometime! :D ) And now after looking at these I'm rethinking my opinion about Saudi Arabian nomads.. :D
