Getting cremated solves some basic issues like turning into a zombie, getting awoken by a necromancer etc. It also makes you easier to get shipped in a cargo box anywhere you want if you want your relatives to set you by somewhere.

I am a digital nomad, work as a sales manager in a UK startup selling SaaS globally. I am 45 years old, with impeccable education (PhD) and career record. I worked as a software developer while studying, worked as a software developer in my field of study (Agriculture) mainly on data warehousing and analysis and changed to project management and sales roles after 35. I came here by really working hard. Sleeping in my office, one thankless job function after the other. Crunching weekends. Long deadly boring meetings. “I am accepting your vacation inquiry but take your work laptop with you and answer your emails” bosses. All this in bright and shiny and ohh so workforce friendly Europe. After you eat all this shit, you reach a level finding yourself in a job interview where you can really ask for things. Money is the usual bit and everybody needs it but what I asked for was never having to come to an office ever. So here I am, since five years I was at the headquarter offices maybe for a total of 20 days. I still spend 10+ hours in front of a computer a day. I am free to roam around the world as long as I am connected, yet I live in a shore village in Turkey at Mediterranean most of the time. This summer I went to swim maybe five times. It is not all shiny and sparkly but I wake up on a bed with a sea view. Now I have yet to see all those boys and girls on insta and linkedin giving advice on going nomad and remote working and acting like making crazy amounts of money while sipping their margheritas on a beach really making the kind of money I make. The ones I see around me are either faking it to sell their image in some way (courses, coaching, wire marketing, ponzi schemes) or they are somewhat rich from their families and don’t really need to hold a job anyway. There will be the one odd rockstar software guru that works 2 hours a day making millions but you are not that guy. Possibly never will be.

I fully understand you. I am from Turkey and went to Germany to study for a couple of years when I was 21 years old. Life led to other things and I stayed for 13 years. Every winter I was getting depressed. I tried vitamins and solariums. Nothing really helped. At the end I decided to move back to Turkey. The weather plays a very important role in our wellbeings. Especially if you were born and raised in a sunny country, living up north can push you into depression. On top of that comes the limited socialisation which changes from country to country but very hard to exceed mediterannean hospitality and social opennes.
