Hi there! Welcome to Midlife Nomads
Midlife Nomads is for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are working out how to build freer, more flexible lives — one decision at a time.
Somewhere between the last kid leaving and whatever comes after retirement, a lot of people start doing the arithmetic on how many good years are actually left, and what they're currently spending them on.
The answer usually isn't to blow anything up and start over. It's a series of smaller decisions: where the income comes from when it isn't one employer, what a long stay somewhere different actually costs, how to stay healthy and happy without breaking the bank.
Midlife Nomads is all about turning your experience into flexible, location-independent work and shaping a more sovereign life so you can spend the good years on something you chose, not whatever was left.
Some readers use these insights to travel. Some use them to stay put with more freedom. Some use it to leave work that no longer fits.
We talk visas, money, mindset, and mobility, and we keep it honest. No overhyped promises, no bromad clichés, no advice from 20-year-old “life coaches” who haven’t lived yet.
Midlife Nomads is brought to you by Miranda Miller, founder of Miller Schwandt Media and a fully remote writer/editor for over 20 years. She's spent most of the last decade travelling solo through the Americas and across Europe, staying mostly at colivings, while her partner keeps their home base in Canada.
