One of the big hurdles that people need to overcome when first starting the Nomad Capitalist lifestyle is the fear of moving away from the familiar and into the new. And the risk of loneliness that accompanies this. What many soon find out is that this feeling will not only quickly fade once they start building new social ties abroad, but that in hindsight, they were actually feeling more lonely back where they used to live, even when surrounded by friends and family. Still, it's an understandable fear. So to ease your mind, Mr Henderson will share with you his own experiences starting out on this crazy journey and break down how it was exactly setting off from his own home country that has allowed him to create some of the strongest and most stimulating friendships he has ever had.
