I'm often asked how I can afford to live a nomadic lifestyle.
Last September, I ran out of pages in my passport. At the renewal office, someone generously called it"well-loved" because, by then, the cover had almost completely worn off.
I worked on two farms in New Zealand, where I got food and accommodation in exchange for four hours a week of volunteering. I worked at a boysenberry farm and a permaculture farm. We also slept on a dairy farm where we got to see the cows get milked in the morning through the machines. For the next three months, I expanded my network on LinkedIn, which is one of the few social media sites allowed in China. I joined online communities, toured factories, and struck up conversations with everyone from a co-working desk-mate to the lady painting my toenails.
So, I traveled to Japan, just a short flight away but, culturally, a different world. My uncle had told me that if I wanted to see China's future, I should go there. Japan has one of the world's oldest populations, and he thought maybe I could find solutions to China's aging society.
