Take the Serendipity Challenge
We strive to live our lives embracing nomadic serendipity, and keeping our schedule on Nomadic Standard Time. We’ve discovered that escaping the stress that comes from rushing around to meet scheduled obligations opens one up to truly being in tune with what is around you in the moment. This allows you to truly experience where [...]
Continue reading...The Domestic Nomad
29 January 2010
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 [...]

26 January 2010
Oftentimes when folks hear what we’re up to – we get the response of ‘You’re living my dream!’. To which we of course reply ‘Then why aren’t you doing it too?’. We are in process of compiling our responses to the common excuses that folks give us to that question, some very valid. We aim to share [...]

11 November 2009
Your closets are overflowing. Bookshelves disorganized. Cabinets of chaos. You can’t see the top of your desk. You just simply have too much stuff. And most of it going unused. Whether you’re tired of the clutter, doing seasonal decluttering, wanting to make over your wardrobe or preparing your life for full mobility – purging is both freeing [...]

3 November 2009
We don’t normally pre-plan our routes in advance so finding a place to set up camp—whether it be just for a night, a few days or several weeks—is something we do on the fly. While many campgrounds take reservations far in advance, we just show up. Because we’re such a small set up, have solar [...]

11 October 2009
Some people travel primarily to spend time visiting cool places. And we absolutely do love finding amazing campgrounds, quirky small towns, wonderful boondocking spots, stealth city camping, incredible scenic overlooks, and the thrill of visiting National Parks. But much of our nomadic lifestyle is motivated less by visiting cool places, and more by visiting cool [...]

27 September 2009
So you’ve decided to become a nomad, and that taking your house with you is your ideal form of travel. Great! But now comes a potentially overwhelming decision – what kind of recreational vehicle will you choose to make into your full time home on wheels? We’re often asked this question, and there is no one [...]

3 August 2009
Asking us about our upcoming travel plans is akin to asking for a weather forecast. We may have a fairly accurate idea of what the next few hours may hold, and that there is a chance of some snow in the winter. But the details in between are hard to pin down, particularly more [...]
Continue reading...It’s Not an Extended Vacation
5 June 2009
A common misconception about our technomadic lifestyle is that we’re on an extended vacation. I think this comes from just how engrained the concept of travel is with being in vacation mode. Vacation: a respite or a time of respite from something We’re not taking a respite from anything, nevermind something. Instead, we’re designing a lifestyle that combines [...]

26 May 2009
When we started our technomadic journey over 2 years ago, we thought it would be awesome to connect with others doing similar things. We looked around, and couldn’t find too much organized activity out there on the interwebs. But it seems in the past few months there’s been an explosion of awareness and communities of [...]
