I’ve seen my share of travel, van life, and digital nomad stories, along with their fair share of trials and tribulations. I also spent 25 years on the road as an overseas news cameraman, so I know the work, the grit, and the compromises it takes to make it happen.

I don’t look at this through rose-coloured glasses — I know it didn’t turn out well. But I also understand the performance aspect that drives the success of this kind of venture, and they gave it their all. That’s a damn sight more than most ever attempt. And to me, Mr. Virus, that’s enough to call it a life well lived.
