Nomadic Diaries: Mastering Global Transitions
Nomadic With Horses - Check-In Take Two!
Koen is one of our regulars on Nomadic Diaries and lives the life of a traveling nomad accompanying high performance horses as they travel around the world to attend equestrian events. It was really fun to reconnect, especially after Koen had visited Saudi Arabia, and I was eager to hear what he had been learning from his travels over the last six to nine months. I really enjoyed reconnecting with Koen Gomes again.
The conversation covered the following:
Embracing Ambiguous Identity:
We discussed the skill called adaptability and how cultivating it creates a multi- faceted sense of self across diverse travel experiences. Koen spelled out how adaptability aids in navigating various and dramatically different environments while building cross-cultural connections.
Mindful Travel Practices:
Koen shared his top strategies that help him stay grounded during those solitary moments abroad. Regular reflection and an appreciation of local beauty enhances our well-being and enriches our travel experiences.
Open-Minded Cultural Exploration: Approach controversial destinations without preconceptions. Direct experiences often provide valuable insights, challenging assumptions and fostering personal growth.
Balancing Health and Travel:
Koen explained how he prioritizes physical and mental wellness when flying several times per month while juggling time zones. Establishing a consistent fitness routine, whether in hotels or during flights, helps maintain our health amid frequent travel.
Building Global Connections:
Koen believes that his networking skills are one of the biggest contributors to his success in maintaining good mental health and well-being, which he has to juggle as he manages extremely nomadic conditions. Creating a sense of belonging across diverse locations by building friendships, connections and relationships gives him something to look forward to in different locations.
Nomadic Diaries says "Thank you Koen, once again for sharing your journey, wisdom, and unique perspective with our audience. It was a pleasure to have you on the show, and I look forward to many more insightful conversations in the future."
