BENEFITS
OF BEING NOMADIC
1.Owning a home naturally lends itself to clutter.
You have so much room, why not fill it? Nomadic life removes all this space and
leaves you with the bare essentials. Backpackers trim their belongings down to
what they can fit in their packs; and RV-ers must limit their possessions to
what can fit in their RV. While your new RV is spacious and roomy, you will
think twice about loading up your old treadmill.
2. Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a
large amount of cash. While living on the road can make holding a traditional
job difficult, many nomads are turning to the Internet to fund their journeys.
You may also be able to get work from town-to-town. Bear in mind that the
nomadic life has its own expenses. For example, nomads who live in a RV must
continually fuel their home, find campsites and pay for insurance.
3.A nomad experiences the ultimate in geographical
freedom. This is one of the most attractive benefits of nomadic living. You can
follow every inclination and desire you have. Want to see the Grand Canyon?
Plot a course. Need to get your feet in the sand? Head for the coast. Nomads
can follow their fantasies and make them reality.
4.According to a study by the Kellogg School of
Management, those who have lived abroad or nomadic lifestyles were consistently
more creative and able tothink outside the box. Exposing yourself to new
cultures can do wonders for your mental acuity by learning new ways of thought,
traditions and morals.

VIETNAMESE
FARMERS
Vietnam
is an agricultural country and about 67% of Vietnamese people live in the rural
areas. Both men and women work on the fields. Rural women in Vietnam typically
do hard outdoor physical labor, which keeps them physically fit and strong.
Everyday, they wake up early to get started on their work, normally before the
sun comes up. The fields are near their houses, so they often walk to the
field. The entire family helps out during planting and harvest. Each family
member has certain tasks to do. Men do heavy labor like plowing and digging.
Women work around the house, and help with the harvest, planning and weeding.
The elderly do light labor. Children, if not going to school, will help the
house chores. Girls clean, cook, and work in the vegetable garden; while boys
carry water, and help the men in the field. In the countryside, almost every
house has a garden to grow vegetables, fruits for family demand or selling for
more incomes. Besides growing vegetables, they also keep cattle, pigs and
poultry. The day ends up with a family meal together. It’s a great time for all
family members to share their stories and get closer to each other.
