Whether you want to be a travel blogger or are looking at starting some form of digital nomad way of life, there is the allure of constantly changing our scenery. Of course, as a digital nomad, we can get up and go, and as a travel blogger, we might think that it’s far more important to go from place to place every few weeks.

However, there are also benefits to be had for staying in one place for a bit longer than is necessary. Staying in one location for an extended period before embarking on the next adventure for a period of, say, nine to 12 months, can bring about a number of different positives.

Let’s show you some.

A Greater Sense of Home

Staying in one place for a few weeks or months is part and parcel of the nomadic lifestyle. However, when you spend more time than you think is necessary in one place, it can start to feel more than just a vacation or a pit stop. In fact, it can feel like home.

Because rapid travel tends to involve superficial encounters with local culture, you never get to burrow underneath the surface. When you stay in one place for an extended period of time, you’re going to delve deeper into the local community, which means you will build more meaningful connections, gain an insight into the language, and immerse yourself in the culture, which will result in a far more authentic and richer experience that could plant the seeds for you to actually set up home there forever.

A good cross country mover will be able to help you set up somewhere for life and sometimes, people who go from place to place navigate a sense of hope. Perhaps staying in one place for a little bit longer than you would like to actually help you to place roots.

Increased Productivity

If we are constantly adjusting to new environments, this is going to interrupt our workflow because we have to recalibrate ourselves. It also means that we’re not actually settling down to do the thing we went there to do: work.

When we set up in one location for a long period of time, it allows us to establish a better routine, and we can scope out great cafes or places that can nurture our productivity. Because traveling comes with a number of constant distractions, we end up feeling a sense of instability in ourselves that will have a knock-on effect with regards to our productivity and focus.

Saving Money

Moving frequently will result in additional costs, and this means accommodation, transportation, and other associated expenses can burn a hole in our wallet. When we stay in one place for an extended period of time, we can take advantage of the long term.

Whether it’s a rental discount or being able to negotiate better deals and reduce our overall spending because we set up home and can cook meals, this results in financial efficiency, which allows for a more sustainable and budget-friendly lifestyle.

There are so many other benefits because you can balance the thrill of exploration and the benefits of stability together. If you’re looking for a more fulfilling nomadic journey, you might benefit from staying put.
