The Avoidant Nomad

Travel to stay in motion when stillness feels too close.

The Avoidant Nomad moves to outrun discomfort. Constant change offers a sense of control even when life feels uncertain. Travel becomes both escape and expression - a way to stay curious without standing still long enough to feel the ache beneath.
