We love it. It goes hand in hand with leaning towards being minimalist without making it a religion. It took some practice and work, but now that we got it down, it's such an easy way to live.
More often than not, we travel with backpacks only at 8-10kg each / 18-22 lbs. If we need multi-weather stuff, we'll share one carry-on. Very rarely we have to opt for one suitcase to share.
Do you have any tips for someone wanting to be more nomadic with kids?
For the kids specific parts, I'm afraid we're the wrong people to give advice. We don't have kids, so we can't speak to those specific challenges.
But I have seen it done by others and they were very happy. So know that it is definitely possible.
On a more general note, I always suggest to "try it on" in easy mode. Our first nomadic stint was moving around Australia. We were living in Australia at the time. So we didn't need any specific considerations with work permits, avoided timezone issues, were in the same culture, and able to travel in our own car.
So if you want to give it a whirl, treat it as an open-ended road trip. There is no shame in cutting short. Give yourself permission to not like it if you miss a home. That's perfectly fine.
