Jan 20, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 26 Comments

Creating attractive, adjustable, power efficient and indirect lighting in a small space like an RV takes a bit effort. And finding suitable portable & durable outdoor lighting for a pleasant hangout space in the evenings can be a challenge. It’s a struggle we’ve had for years, and we think we’ve finally found some great solutions for […]

Sunsets – One of the Threads that Weaves our Nomadic Fabric

Jan 17, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 21 Comments

There. I said it. I love sunsets. As the earth spins around its axis, the sun disappears from site. Magical lighting awakens the senses that lead us into nightfall. The skies dance with color, every moment the clouds paint a new scene on the aerial canvas before us. In a nomadic lifestyle, sunsets are both our constant […]

Back to Boondocking: Keeping Warm while Chilly Camping

Jan 13, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 44 Comments

In our continuing series on boondocking, today we’ll be sharing some our tips for keeping warm when it gets a bit nippy out there.

You might also hear terms like wild camping and dry camping to describe it.  Now, […]

On Our Own Again.. Naturally

Jan 11, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 23 Comments

Since the end of August, we’ve been caravanning with our dear friends Nina & Paul. Never would we have imagined how comfortable and amazing 4 months spent traveling with anyone else could be. Especially two couples who are highly independent and like to do their own thing. Perhaps it’s precisely because each of us has […]

No Matter The Age.. No Matter the Rig.. We’re All Nomadic Peers

Jan 8, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 25 Comments

We still haven’t left our boondocking location near Borrego Springs. We really intended to when our tanks needed attention.. really. We did. After all, we just know there are other amazing places to explore in the desert southwest. But instead, we dumped and filled and came right back to our same exact spot.  Well, actually 2 inches […]

Back to Boondocking: Extending the Holding Tanks

Jan 6, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 59 Comments

In thanks to our new solar install on the bus, we’ve been getting back to boondocking lately, and loving it. Boondocking is staying in places without hook-ups (water, electricity or sewer) and generally ‘out in the boonies’. You might also hear terms like wild camping and dry camping to describe it.  During our first 4 […]

A Bright New Year Starts in Borrego Springs

Jan 1, 2015 by Cherie Ve Ard 32 Comments

It’s a stunningly beautiful area, with ample free and unlimited boondocking nearby the darling town of Borrego Springs, which has all the basic amenities you might need – a post office, market, […]

Mobile Income on the Road Ideas – New Video

Dec 26, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

One of our most popular YouTube videos is a little compilation of interviews we took at a NuRVer gathering back in 2010. It’s what started our Ramblings: Tales from Nomads video series. We had some spare bandwidth at the end of our billing cycle this month, so I used the opportunity to create and upload […]
