I came across this TikTok video where Jessica says that she is a single mother of two children. Doesn’t she actually have three children in total? Wasn’t there an older daughter who wasn’t very comfortable being featured in the videos?
Even if the oldest daughter doesn’t want to be in the public eye, I still think it’s quite a bold statement to say that you’re the mother of two children when you’re actually the mother of three.

I spent fifteen years navigating the Mediterranean before I understood what I was actually doing. Not escaping. Not collecting cities like stamps. Not optimising tax residencies. I was searching for a place where the wind could still reach me — but where I would choose to stay.

I found it in Málaga. 1,650+ days later, I'm still here.

Last week, I released a flamenco rumba called *Nómada de la Bahía*. It's the first artistic piece to come out of Rooted Nomadism, a philosophy I've been building over the past few years. The song is sung by a cantaora — a flamenco singer — with the rough warmth of Andalusia in her voice. She sings of roots that don't weigh, but embrace. A suitcase made of clouds. A home that is a terrace.

This isn't a productivity tip or a "how to work from anywhere" guide. It's an attempt to talk about belonging — not as a fixed address, but as a practice. Something you carry, not something you rent.

If the idea of the rooted nomad speaks to you, I'd genuinely like to hear what anchors you. A place, a ritual, a person, a memory — what keeps you from drifting?
