Gypsy girl
The benefits of a gypsy lifestyle are infinite. But what draws me in is the continuous growth and learning that comes from experiencing other cultures. I'm always blown away by how much my mind, heart and soul expand, as I step away from my everyday concerns to welcome new ways of thinking and living.
You can absolutely live a life like this without quitting your job. I've lived a gypsy lifestyle while having jobs for the past 20 years. I would say that besides going on long journeys around the planet, there are several ways to gypsify in your local community. You can engage with other cultures by taking a language course, by supporting or volunteering for an international organisation, by hosting an exchange student at your home, by watching foreign films, by going to international arts and crafts exhibits, by connecting with immigrants in your neighbourhood. The key is to stay curious and creative.
