From 1994 – 2006, I lived on a barrier island on Florida’s Space Coast. A beautiful location to be, that had relatively few hurricanes. There was a story around these parts that NASA specifically selected this area for their space port because of a meshing of conditions that repelled big hurricanes. So for much of […]
Chutes and Ladders
It’s midnight on a Friday night. Hurricane Sandy is passing offshore and her tentacles are reaching onshore blowing the bus around in gusts of tropical storm force winds. Squalls of rainshowers have been hitting us at all angles for the past 36 hours. Mostly, it’s been a pleasant and novel departure from borderline too hot […]
Dorks in Purple Shirts
Six years ago this week, we met in person for the first time. Last year I wrote more about our sappy love story. When Chris picked me up at a friend’s place near San Francisco, we discovered we had dressed exactly alike – both wearing matching purple shirts and blue jeans. We were so meant […]
Our Daily Exciting Life
As we’re a little bit visible on the interwebs, we occasionally get contacted by the media to be featured in articles, documentaries and TV spots. We have no drive or goal to be in the limelight, in fact – we’d kinda rather not be. But if there’s an authentic feeling opportunity to share our story […]

To Infinity and Beyond!
We’ve now been settled in our spot on the Space Coast of Florida for two weeks now, and it seems like we just got here. We’ve been frantically busy with lots of work related stuff. My father is retiring at the end of next month, and we’ve been super busy putting together a distributed team […]
Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – Tacky Texans -> Fruitiny
Meet Brice and Rose In 2010, we met the Tacky Texans – Brice & Rose – during one of our visits to Austin, TX. This young couple was intrigued by small house living, minimalism and creating a mobile lifestyle. They had just taken a huge step towards that by purchasing and moving into a travel […]
Nomadic Nesting Mode.. On.
Nomadic doesn’t mean being constantly in motion. It just means being poised to be mobile. Our own desires for how much motion we’re undergoing in a time period changes often. Sometimes, we really enjoy moving around every couple of days and exploring lots of new locations. Such as our past summer. Sometimes it makes sense […]
A Model Citizen
When we first bought our bus last summer, I started poking around to see if there happened to be any GM 4106 scale models or toys out there. But all references I could find with a quick search included the words ‘rare’ and ‘expensive’. Seeking out a toy model would have to be a project […]
Slow Roll into Florida
Our big goal for the summer was to arrive back to Florida in time for my dad’s birthday, to present him our Operation: Dip Toes surprise. However, serendipity and good friends intervened and made that rendezvous happen up near Savannah. Thus allowing us to take a much slower approach into Central Florida. St. Augustine Almost […]
