In this episode of Nomads 50+, Chris Kalaboukis sits down with Kim Collet, a 62-year-old retiree with a restless spirit and big nomadic dreams. Kim’s dipping her toes into the part-time nomad life, mixing her love for screenwriting with a itch to hit the road. She’s got a cool plan to roam the U.S.—East Coast, West Coast, North, South—chasing quirky film festivals that vibe with her creative side. We chat about how she’ll bankroll this adventure by renting out her condo and dipping into savings if needed, while juggling screenplay gigs. Kim gets real about the tricky stuff too—like not letting her wanderlust mess with family ties or her elderly parents. She’s also wrestling with balancing her writing and her film festival passion but hopes to make it all work. To wrap it up, Kim drops some wisdom for new nomads: prep for the tough moments but stay grateful for the ride.https://nomads50plus.comGet Your Free Toolkit for Digital Nomads Over 50: Discover the essentials of life on the road with our free toolkit for digital nomads over 50!
