Who says that "location independent" needs to mean "nomadic" or even traveling at all? To me, location independence means that you are not tied to any particular place. You don't have a job that requires you to be in one location, you don't have a mortgage, etc. But it doesn't mean that you have to be on the move. You can stay in one apartment for 3 years and still be "location independent" if you don't have anything that requires you to be in that particular location. I think what needs to happen in the lifestyle design world is for some folks to look at the other sides of location independence, and how it can work for people who maybe don't want to move to Bali.
