Digital Fasting

Dec 24, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

One of the things that worried us most about taking the workamping gig at Amazon’s distribution center in Kansas was their strict no cell phone policy. That would mean for 12 hours a day for a month, we would have no contact with the outside world – a very weird concept for us digital nomads. […]

Keeping Vampire Hours

Dec 15, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 4 Comments

Working a night shift has been a most interesting experience in body & mind hacking. My circadian rhythm has totally adjusted – however it stills feels odd to go to bed after sunrise, and wake up just before sunset. We picked the night shift as I needed to be at least available to my regular […]

December Nomads to Keep an Eye On

Dec 8, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 7 Comments

I think that profiling other nomads we’ve encountered and what they’re up to will become a regular feature here.  I just love meeting others embarking on these great adventures, and sharing their stories.  And our readers seem to appreciate the introductions too. So, here are some folks we’d like to introduce you to this month: […]

10 Most Popular Holiday Gift Items

Dec 2, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

For those curious about what people are buying this season, I thought I’d share my observations about what are the most popular items being shipping based on what I’m personally packing while we ‘workamp’ in Kansas. Lots of folks getting cameras for the holidays.. here are some that are most frequent buys and apparently incredible […]

Our Visit to Slab City & East Jesus

Dec 1, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard Leave a Comment

We had such as awesome time visiting and exploring Slab City – the remains of the abandoned Marine barracks of Camp Dunlap just outside Niland, California along the Salton Sea in the desert of southeast California. And I had big intentions of writing prolifically about it to share with you. However, I didn’t anticipate just […]

Salvation Mountain at Slab City – Leonard Knight’s Message of Love

Nov 23, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

Some people have a calling, a message they must deliver to the world. Most never act on this. But a rare few are overcome with purpose, and devote their lives to the call. Artist Leonard Knight heard such a call (“to my knowledge, it was on a Wednesday, about ten-thirty in the morning in 1967”), […]

Used 2009 Oliver Legacy Elite Travel Trailer – For Sale!

Nov 18, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

January 2012 Update: The trailer below has sold, however we occasionally hear of one that goes up for sale (only 45 were ever made). We do know of a solar powered one, similar to our Oliver, that might be available. Drop us a line at us@technomadia.com and we’ll put you in touch with the owners. PS. […]

7 Steps to Get Rid of Stuff!

Nov 11, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

Your closets are overflowing. Bookshelves disorganized. Cabinets of chaos.  You can’t see the top of your desk. You just simply have too much stuff. And most of it going unused. Whether you’re tired of the clutter, doing seasonal decluttering, wanting to make over your wardrobe or preparing your life for full mobility – purging is both […]

Road Ahead: Fall & Winter 2009

Nov 7, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 4 Comments

We’ve been hanging out in Southern California without much of a plan on which direction will be next. Things are finally began to gel once we made it a priority to spend holidays with family this year – which means heading eastward! Our projected nomadic path forward might look something like this: Tomorrow – Depart […]

How to Find RV Parks, Campgrounds and Free Boondocking

Nov 3, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

[wp_campaign_2] This guide has been updated for 2010!  Check it out! We don’t normally pre-plan our routes in advance so finding a place to set up camp—whether it be just for a night, a few days or several weeks—is something we do on the fly. While many campgrounds take reservations far in advance, we just […]
