Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1.  We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around
the country.)  We’ll [...]

Presumably because it prominently features an RV, I have had a few people mention About Schmidt to me over the past few years as a movie I might like.
Knowing only that About Schmidt was about a retired Jack Nicholson taking a road trip across country in an RV, I had somehow ended up with [...]

As many of you know, we journey to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert every year to participate in Burning Man.
What Is Burning Man: Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left [...]

If you read the blogs of a lot of self-proclaimed nomads, lifestyle designers and location independent professionals – you could easily get a sense that international travel and global nomadism is the holy grail of every long term perpetual traveler.
We’re here to stand up and say – being a Domestic Nomad is an equally valid [...]

Things we saw last week at the St. Louis RV Vacation & Travel Show:

Fake Fireplaces, Giant TV’s, Mobile Man Caves, Central Vacuum Systems

Things we didn’t see any of:

Solar Panels, Energy Efficient Lighting, Composting Toilets, Camper Vans

Though we have been full time RV dwellers for years now, neither of us had ever been to an actual RV show. When we saw that “one of the largest public RV shows in the country” would be happening last week while we were still in St. Louis, we knew that we would have to check it out.

We were hoping to get exposed to variety of RVs of different sizes and styles, and to check out a wide range of the latest products and technologies for mobile living.

Overall, we were sorely disappointed.

There were however plenty of monster fifth wheels and Class-A RVs on display with a focus on ostentatious excess instead of efficient mobile living. One brand was using the tagline “Leave Nothing Behind” – and that was indeed a design philosophy on display at the show.

Relationships. Romance. Partnership. Marriage. Sex. Companionship.
To many, those things are just as essential to life as water or oxygen.
What sort of impact will living a nomadic life have on your current relationships? Or on your prospects for finding one?
Today I am returning to fleshing out my ‘Answers to Common Excuses Not to Travel‘ series of [...]

A common question we get asked is ‘What is your average monthly cost to travel full time?’.
So in 2009, I kept a basic log of our fuel and camping fees for public display and just added in December’s numbers. In the process, I decided to add in some of our fixed costs that are [...]

Our life of full time travel has given us some amazing opportunities to make friends with some absolutely inspiring people. We’d like to take a moment and introduce you to a handful who are up to some amazing things this month!

Not everyday on the road is full of exciting new adventures.  Take this past week for example – we’ve literally been couch sloths.
We’re currently in St. Louis staying with Chris’ family, and this week we’re house sitting while his folks are on vacation.
Between recovering from the long physical hours of a month working at amazon.com, [...]
