Ya I can totally see what you mean about the nomads and what a great choice of book to be reading while chilling in the hammock. I'd say it would be a joy to just close you eyes and focus on the various sounds of nature and do some meditating.

My travels in South East Asia were unreal, some of the best time of my life really and such fun, but no I don't miss them, I am just thankful that they formed part of my journey to where I am now, happily married with three wonderful children that we were blessed with. I do look back very fondly on those times in South East Asia though.
