Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – The Roaming Pint

Ramblings

Apr 27, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments


Meet Maria Scarpello & Brian Devine

Maria & Brian hit the road in August 2010, launching from their college town of Lawrence, Kansas.

By containing their living costs, they are achieving their goal of

‘working part time and living full time’

Both work remotely in web and software design.

Along their journey, this couple found a way to combine their thirsts for travel and craft brew – and now write about roaming to visit breweries.

Direct video link.

Stay tuned.. more nomads coming soon!

Ramblings: Tales from Nomads is intended to introduce you to some amazing people who are living life on their terms by traveling full time.

In this video series, you’ll be meeting and hearing the stories from a wide range of nomads we’ve met, with one thing in common – they’re not waiting for a traditional retirement to pursue their dreams of perpetual travel.

The entire video series will continue to grow at:  https://www.technomadia.com/ramblings

We’ll be soon introducing you to more nomads, aiming to release 2-3 videos a month until we run out of content. Make sure you’re subscribed to our RSS feed to be automatically notified when we post.

Would you like to be featured in this series? Let us know when our paths might be converging and let’s hang out – and we’ll be happy to film you in person too.

    If you where starting out with a smaill dog semi retired looking to sell your house and buy a used R.V. to live in. Which would be easier on your pocket and repair? A or C diseal or gas? I was thinking around 28- to 30ft. Thanks

      Hi Edward… it’s really difficult to give such generalized advice. As it comes down to far more than just type and fuel type. In general, Class-Cs and gas are cheaper to purchase and maintain. But it really comes down to so many other variables, such as: brand, maintenance history, current condition, your preferences, your mechanical aptitude, etc.

      As always, we recommend touring lots of RVs and getting a feel for what is right for your travel style. Research the brands and layouts you find tempting by visiting user forums, reading reviews, etc. Understand what you’re potentially buying. And then consider your first RV purchase to be a trial – don’t invest more in it than you could easily sell it for in a year or two if you decide you want something different, or the lifestyle is not for you. You really won’t know what your travel style is, and what is ideal until you’ve been on the road for a while – and even so, many of us tend to change our pace after the first year or so anyway.

      Best wishes
