It’s that time again.. when we share with you some cool fellow nomadic folks we’ve discovered lately, and tempt you into spending all your free time being inspired. Writing these posts has become quite a joy for me, and keeps me constantly on the prowl for other like minds.

As our February has been full of exploring the possibility of a future nautical component to our nomadism, here are some amazing sailing nomads who have been wonderfully helpful in answering our questions:

Nautical Nomads

Cindy’s Island – Cindy & Gray were introduced to us via a mutual acquaintance, and it just happened that they were moored nearby in Florida. We spent a delightful afternoon getting a tour of Cindy’s Island, their full time live aboard monohull boat, and picking their brains.

It’s Irie – Leisbet & Mark where introduced to us via Gray & Cindy, who are also living full time aboard a catamaran named Irie. Previously, they were full time RVers. We’re looking forward to getting to know these two.

Zach Aboard – A boy. A boat. A life afloat.  This nomadic family lives aboard a gorgeous catamaran, raising their young son.

Christine – We met Christine at Strictly Sail in Miami last month. She’s been doing epic sailing and live aboard for many many years, and we had a delightful time hearing about her adventures.

Bumfuzzle – These two have been mentioned several times to us now that we’re blogging about our sailing aspirations. Many years ago on a lark, they bought a sailboat with no prior experience and spent 4 years circling the globe.  And then they got a small VW van and toured 28 countries in Europe.  Now they just had a daughter a couple months ago, and are living in Mexico.

Dramanauts – We talk about Steve, the original technomad, a lot – who is massively geeking out his own epic sailboat, Nomadness.  However, he’s not alone on his journey.  Growing tired of Steve perfecting his boat, Sky has now procured her own sailing vessel, Dervish, and two are the start of the Technomadic Flotilla.  Their two boat system seems perfect for them!

Land Nomads

Happy Janssens – Matt, Sara, Bella and Lucy are a modern nomadic family.  In 2007 they set off on the Live Lightly Tour, and are now back on the road full time.  Their motorhome is powered by veggie oil, and they fund themselves by doing photography, veggie oil conversions and RV remodeling as they travel. We can’t wait to meet them soon at the NuRVer’s Gathering!

Our Take on Freedom – Jay & Amy are an adventurous and creative duo.  They recently wrote to several Caribbean resorts, and managed to get hired on to teach classes in exchange for free room and board.  When their job is up this summer, they’re getting an RV and heading to Burning Man (we’re hoping they’ll join us at Camp Nomadia!).

Appetite 4 Adventure – Johnny Biscuit bought a 17′ Casita last year (similar to our Oliver) to set out doing comedy (he blogged about it under Comedy Bailout). At the end of his year, he decided to keep going.

Drifting Focus – Kelsey is a mid-20s adventurer who has crafted a life well suited to her wanderlust and photography passions. She’s been able to balance a romantic relationship that includes a home base with her pursuits of solo travel.

RamonaCreel –  Ramona and Matt full time in an Airstream. Like us, they’re childfree by choice, believe in simplicity, being debt free and are under 40. Ramona is a personal organizing coach, which helps fund their travels.

All of these awesome nomads have been added to our growing List of Nomads – which I seriously need to put some effort into better organizing.

If you know of other nomads with blogs or are one yourself (even if you’re aspiring to be ) don’t be shy about introducing yourself! We’d love to feature you in an upcoming post like this one.
