In the past, when you were getting older, you most likely ended up with your family. You lived with your children and grandchildren and as a representative of three generations under one roof and knew your fate perfectly well. In many societies, this is still a valid concept and tradition to obey. In equally many, when you get old, you start to be less and less valid to those younger around you. 

While family ties loosen and children move out of their family homes, never to return, old people, are left to themselves. And in many seemingly rich societies, the social system fails to cover their needs. Pension plans and personal savings are not enough for day-to-day life and many choose a different life: life without a house and substantial bills to pay. Is this the life of freedom and travel? Of belonging everywhere and meeting so many on the same road? Of experiencing instead of owning? Or is there sadness in working your entire life to end up in a camper and freeze in the middle of nowhere? Today's reality for many: Nomadland.
