What if traveling long-term was actually cheaper than staying home?

You don't need to be rich. You don't need to quit your job and backpack through hostels. You don't even need to leave your couch that often.

What you need is a completely different approach.

What is Travel Nesting, anyway?

Travel Nesting is slow travel for introverts—living your normal, cozy life (work, laundry, groceries) in fascinating places for 1-3 months at a time. It's affordable, comfortable and designed for people who consider "getting dressed" purely optional.

No sightseeing marathons. Just you, doing exactly what you'd do at home, but you're doing it all somewhere that feels a little magical every time you step outside your door.

It's affordable long-term slow travel for anyone who wants the comfort of their regular routines, just...somewhere else.

Traditional travel advice isn't built for you if:

✗ The idea of moving every few days sounds exhausting
✗ You'd rather watch the world go by from a Paris laundromat than go to the Louvre
✗ Packing and unpacking makes you want to stay home forever
✗ You need your own space to recharge
✗ You want to travel but can't afford luxury prices
✗ The thought of constant sightseeing makes you tired
✗ You work remotely and need actual WiFi, not "beach office" fantasies

You're not a failed traveler. You just need a different approach.

There's a Better Way to See the World

Forget the backpacker hustle. Forget the expensive week-long vacations.

Travel Nesting means:

✓ Mostly staying 1-3 months in each place (deep discounts on rent)
✓ Living like a local (grocery stores, favorite cafes, routine)
✓ Working your normal hours from apartments with good WiFi
✓ Actually having time to enjoy where you are
✓ Spending LESS than you do living in the US

The excitement comes from doing all of this from fascinating destinations where the spermarkets are like Aladdin's cave and running errands is almost an adventure - especially when the street signs resemble hieroglyphics.

And, yes, you can still visit the expensive world capitals you've always dreamed of seeing. This is also covered in the book. You can spend a few days in a hotel/private room between long-term stays, splurge for a week in an studio or visit longer by staying in hostels (there are ways even introverts can be comfortable).

Real numbers from real travels:

Albania: $637/month (rent, groceries, everything)
Turkey: $754/month in winter, $820 in summer
Athens: $1,000-1,400/month
London: $1,617/month including theater tickets and meals out (with hostel hack)

These aren't "roughing it" budgets. These are comfortable apartments with kitchens, WiFi, and everything you need.

Final Note:

This book is NOT a guide. It is one person's way (mine) of traveling long-term. I sincerely hope at least some of the information will be useful to anyone hoping to travel long-term, but it is not by any means the only way to do it. My biggest wish for this book is that it will provide enough information to help someone figure out how to travel full-time in the way that will suit them best.
