ello fabulous internet people, I’m Manuel Ebert 108, and I’m an involuntary nomad.
Well, let me explain. I was born in Germany, but moved to South Africa when I was 17. And some years later to the UK to study, and then to Spain to do my PhD (neuroscience… a story for another time), and eventually to San Francisco to become a UX designer. And SF was the first place I felt truly at home for the first time in more than a decade. Which would be fabulous, if my visa hadn’t expired and the immigration laws weren’t designed by people who enjoy shooting themselves in the foot, tying an anvil through the whole and tossing it into the bay. So, what do you do if you can live wherever you want to except for the place you actually want to live? Become a nomad!
