Centinaia di siti e community insegnano le regole base per diventare digital nomad. Punto primo: seguire le proprie passioni. Probabilmente lavoreremo fino all’ultimo giorno della nostra vita, tanto vale far coincidere lavoro e sogni. Punto secondo: viaggiare leggeri. I digital nomad sono minimalisti. Comprano poco in beni materiali anche perché non saprebbero dove metterli. Punto terzo: diventare padroni del proprio tempo e della propria vita. Chi dice che la formula delle 40 ore settimanali equivalga per tutti a una produttività maggiore?Spesso non hanno una vera e propria casa ma cercano di ricrearla ovunque si trovino, in Thailandia come in Australia e vivono viaggiando e lavorando da remoto dagli angoli più paradisiaci del mondo. Un piccolo vademecum su come abbracciare la vita nomadica 2.0 e su come ricreare la propria casa in ogni parte del mondo.Aprirsi alle nuove amicizieIncontrare persone provenienti da ogni parte del mondo e ascoltare le loro storie, magari in una tiepida notte al chiaro di luna. Essere nomadi digitali vuol dire aprirsi al nuovo e allo sconosciuto, significa esplorare luoghi lontani ma anche noi stessi. Basta questo per convincersi a mettere uno zaino in spalla e partire!
Parola d’ordine: collaborazioneUno stile di vita collaborativo è non solo fondamentale, ma anche indispensabile per favorire lo sviluppo di reti di aiuto e di socializzazione. La collaborazione iniziata con l’autocostruzione continua all’interno del gruppo con l’autoproduzione che consente di raggiungere l’indipendenza dell’intero insediamento.

Many people today lack the satisfaction that comes from being part of a community. That issue has fueled a concept that has spread to neighborhoods around the globe: communities born from the basic principle that life is lived better together than apart. The Danish concept of bofællesskab, or “living community,” was imported to North America in the early 1980s by architects Kathryn McCamant and Charles Durrett, and dubbed “cohousing.” Today this approach continues to inspire collectives in which all members are active participants in defining their way of life. Residents rely on one another for social opportunities, shared meals, childcare and a sense of togetherness. When a cohousing group forms, the members usually define a set of standards and goals for the community before any architectural design work begins.

Perhaps most controversially, we also need to think again about what makes a community. Today’s builders and town planners believe that people don’t just live in houses, they inhabit "places." Medieval towns were perfect examples of what planners seek: densely populated, walkable communities in which people ate local, seasonal food, and rich and poor lived in close proximity. A successful "place" mixes the different groups in society. In this sense, a great Elizabethan mansion like Hardwick Hall was successful social housing: Bess of Hardwick, its chatelaine, slept within meters of the dozens of people in her employment. It was a life of huge inequality, but Bess had personal responsibility for the poor and the sick, and they all belonged to a common endeavor. This sounds conservative, but it’s radically so. Today we live lives of vastly varying levels of luxury, unaware of those with alternative experiences. We’ve spent too long inside our own snug homes, looking smugly out the window at the world. The dwindling of the natural resources that have fueled our way of life since the 18th century will force us to change. But I don’t think that change need frighten us. Throughout history, people have thought their own age wildly novel, deeply violent and sinking into the utmost depravity. However, it’s comforting to think that the pleasures of domesticity are perennial. As Samuel Johnson put it, "To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition."

LOVE this Bon Fire Pit. Bigger rocks surround the pit, add chairs and benches around it
