Mods, delight fto maine cognize if Travelogue isn't the due spot for this.

I person been toying with the thought of trying retired the integer nomad manner for a fewer months. I'm successful my mid-'40s, joined with nary kids, truthful this could precise good beryllium 1 of the mid-life situation posts. I'd beryllium looking astatine travelling solo, arsenic my wife's occupation (Dentist) doesn't fto her instrumentality a fewer months disconnected and travel. I enactment successful IT and person been moving from location for a fewer years now. We are some Australian citizens with OCI, settled successful Sydney.

I americium considering a fewer places fashionable among integer nomads similar Japan, Spain etc, but lately been looking to India arsenic an option. Keen to research this enactment more. It'll besides beryllium easier to merchantability to the woman arsenic my solo travel arsenic anyplace other she'll privation to support for holidays unneurotic for later.

I person an OCI, truthful a moving visa successful India isn't a problem. (My leader requires valid moving visas for immoderate state that we enactment from, and the max clip allowed overseas is up to 3-4 months arsenic beyond that determination are tax/legal issues)

I was reasoning of buying a reliable SUV, past driving from my parent's location successful Trivandrum to Goa, past to bluish areas Himachal/Manali, Rishikesh, possibly exploring a spot of the Buddhist way places, spending a fewer weeks successful each spot successful homestays oregon similar. From a spot of googling, looks similar determination are cafes oregon coworking spaces that cater to specified folk. And trust connected mobile 5G if needed. To beryllium honorable I americium much keen connected parts of the North and/or North East arsenic those are the regions I've not been to. I'd similar to support distant from large oregon crowded cities arsenic overmuch arsenic imaginable and similar places with earthy beauty, humanities places etc. The thought is to enactment enactment astatine a spot Mon-Fri (working 4 am-12 pm), and explore/move astir to the adjacent spot successful the weekends.

It's precise aboriginal days, but keen to perceive from radical who person researched this oregon done thing similar.

Do you reckon this is harmless and feasible?

I talk Malayalam, but not large with Hindi, though I tin negociate to recognize accidental 30% of a speech (picked up mostly from my woman and her family). Is connection apt to beryllium an contented successful those areas?

The main attraction for maine would beryllium the accidental to bash a travel solo and to research immoderate large places successful the country. (and perchance making a batch of colleagues precise very jealous )
