How I Transitioned to Nomadic Life from Corporate Work

I knew I working in corporate jobs until retirement wasn't an option. With a degree in physics, I dove into finance and lived a disciplined life. Luckily securing a job in my field straight out of uni, I managed to save approximately 60% of my net income. The goal was clear: gain enough financial freedom to create a nomadic lifestyle.

By sticking to a minimalist, student-like life — no cars, no new gadgets, no impulse shopping — I slowly built a solid foundation. It wasn’t quick or easy, but small, consistent decisions paid off over time. Eventually, I reached the point where I could walk away from the corporate world and start traveling unshackled. Ironically this was much cheaper than living a minimalist student lifestyle in Toronto.

The transition wasn’t just about saving money. It was about mental and emotional preparation, too. I had to learn new languages, create new sources of income, and embrace new forms of uncertainty. Growth was uncomfortable, but as I kept telling myself, freedom isn't free. The hardest moments were the ones I passed through alone, while everyone thought I was fine. Those struggles became the lessons that shaped me.

Now, I’m traveling the world and working remotely. It wasn’t about chasing results; it was about focusing on the change itself. Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone, and once I embraced that discomfort, the results followed. Pain is temporary, but quitting lasts forever.

Mission Statement

My mission is to increase my financial independence and inspire others to do the same while living on their own terms. Through discipline, grit, and perseverance, I aim to share practical insights and personal experiences to help others break free from the constraints of monotonous work and live a life of freedom and purpose.
