Heading to Austin to (Not) Attend SXSW
We are currently enroute to Austin, Texas to (not) attend South by Southwest (SXSW). SXSW is a huge convention/festival combining independent music, film and emerging technologies – all rolled into the weirdness only Austin can provide. We’ve never been, although we keep getting told it’s exactly our kind of thing. Unfortunately, we’ll not be attending this [...]

5 March 2010
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 [...]

26 February 2010
We spent the last part of 2009 trying out workamping at Amazon.com’s fullfillment center in Coffeyville, Kansas. We finally have enough of the details brought together to share our assessment about the financial rewards, hours involved and challenges. As we generally earn our income doing various technical & marketing consulting, both remotely online and onsite, we [...]

24 February 2010
Cherie and I get emails all the time from people who want to meet us while we are passing through their area. Some great connections and conversations have come about via “meeting our fans”, and only rarely have we had any awkward and/or boring encounters. Meeting so many and such diverse cool people is one [...]

20 February 2010
Time frame: January 20 – February 20, 2010 Miles Driven: 1776 After an extended month long winter and holiday stop in St. Louis visiting Chris’ family, it was time to head south for the remainder of the winter. Cherie previously lived in Florida for 12 years before we hit the road, and that’s where her parents and [...]

19 February 2010
Only a week ago, the thought of Cherie and I sailing off into the sunset was a “certainly, but someday” sort of thing. But after spending some time at the Miami International Boat Show & Strictly Sailing event, the idea of relocating at least part of the year onto a liveaboard is starting to seem more [...]

18 February 2010
As planned, we spent Saturday and Sunday this past weekend at the Miami International Boat Show and the co-located sailing focused Strictly Sail Miami. Though these events have traditionally been very distinct, the no-longer-appropriately-named “Strictly Sail” has unfortunately now been devoured by the vastly larger powerboat focused Miami International Boat Show. To our disappointment, there were [...]

8 February 2010
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 [...]

1 February 2010
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 [...]

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 [...]
