Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – The Long Family

Meet Becky & Chris Long. Two artists who decided that instead of waiting for opportunity to come to them, they’d go out and find it.

They hit the road in 2008 with their 2 year old daughter, Nora.

We first filmed them in 2010 at the NuRVer’s Gathering in Texas – and they were taking side jobs to make ends meet while they strived to become traveling sculptures and painters.

Five years later they were enthusiastic to share their story since – life took them off the road for a bit, and then now back on. How they overcame obstacles, and added to their family.

They found that career & family balance and now work entirely as mobile artists – basing themselves in their art center of New Orleans during peak tourist season, and traveling the rest of the year.

Enjoy getting to know this inspiring and charming family!

Ramblings: Tales from Nomads is intended to introduce you to some of the amazing people we’ve met in our own journey, we love introducing our friends to you!

We started filming this series in 2010, and it keeps growing and growing!  We now have nearly 30 episodes produced, and many more filmed. We produce them when have the spare time, inspiration and bandwidth.

In this video series, you’ll meet some diverse nomads we’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. They all have one thing in common – they’re not waiting for a traditional retirement to pursue their dreams of perpetual travel.

Will our paths be crossing? Are you also on the road combining perpetual travel and career? Let us know, we’d love to film your story too.

The entire video series can be explored at: https://www.technomadia.com/ramblings

Inspired by this Series?

We love producing this series and it is a labor of love to create it. We love love love hearing your feedback if you’ve enjoyed them, they keep us inspired to keep creating them – a lot of effort & bandwidth goes into filming, producing and uploading these episodes.

Inspired to explore a nomadic path yourself? Check out our free series: No Excuses: Go Nomadic which is our brain dump on many of the common questions we get about making it happen – mobile jobs, affordability, pets, family, mail, healthcare, connectivity, community and more.

We also offer the same series as a ‘pay as you wish’ eBook.

    I really enjoy these videos. Very informative. My wife also likes to watch them because it’s a great place to find a woman’s opinion of life on the road. I keep my eye out for new videos in case you come across any of the bloggers I’m following.
