RE: Five years on Hive: still loving it here so much but...

I have been actually told to find a regular job by my family and my friends for a long time already, over and over again, and honestly, it has been increasingly difficult to provide some reasonable arguments for them as to why I have been trying to stick to my "Hive job" so desperately and despite my worsening personal financial situation.

Are we brothers separated after birth? I'm facing exactly the same issue.
Problem is that getting a decent job after our experience traveling around is fucking hard, and it sounds boring as fuck. It's funny though that I've worked as gardener/painter in Argentina, as delivery cyclist in London, as a teacher at home... but now I can't find the same motivation. Wtf is going on?

Should we buy a hut in Argentina and invite a bunch of friends over and just enjoy life in Patagonia?

Heh, sounds familiar indeed! Ironically, I´m currently based in Prague where people from all over the country and even from abroad flock into because of those tons of job opportunities available in here. But I don´t want join the rat race and give up on the freedom that I have been used to for so many years... Hard to adopt their lifestyle and mindset after all those years of freedom and traveling. I think you know what I mean ;)

That hut in Patagonia sounds good! I will think about it :D

I may know. It's a really awkward feeling of not fitting anymore. How do you handle it? At least you have your girlfriend to exchange ideas and plan life. I have nobody to talk about that since no one around me has had that wild experience of being free -- they simply don't understand and keep on saying that I should apply for some government shit job.

I hear you buddy. Well, we are a couple, that´s right, but it comes with both advantages and disadvantages, as everything in life... We (me and my girlfriend) are actually very different as individuals in many aspects, which makes the planning quite challenging sometimes. So when it comes to pursuing the lifestyle of absolute freedom, being alone might actually be more suitable for that. But again, there are pros and cons about everything. Everyone need to consider what is the best thing to do for them in their particular and unique situation. I just hope you will be alright man :)
