Heading south through New Mexico on our way to White Sands National Monument, we made a slight detour to check out the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site. It made for a much appreciated hiking break, viewing of cool petroglyphs and great scenery. There is also camping available at the site – including two pull through RV […]
Video Edition: Gran Quivira Ruins
Taking the backroads not only avoids a lot of traffic, but it also takes you to spots you might not otherwise encounter. Looking for a spot to stop to make a sandwich for lunch during our journey south through New Mexico, we saw signs for the Gran Quivira Ruins, which are part of the San […]

Digital Nomad Location Independent Lifestyle Designing NuNomads
When we started our technomadic journey back in 2006, we thought it would be awesome to connect with others doing similar things. We looked around, and couldn’t find too much organized activity out there on the interwebs. But it seems since there’s been an explosion of awareness and communities of folks doing things similar to […]
Video Edition: Old Route 66 Gravel Road
Much of our time in Arizona and New Mexico was spent following Historic Route 66, where you could occasionally see both the newer I-40 and slight remnants of the Old Route 66 off to the side.

Video Edition: Petrified Forest National Park
Continuing eastward following Route 66 through Arizona, we arrived at the Petrified Forest National Park (it’s difficult to not type that as Petrified National Forest!) just before closing at sunset. We were able to take a drive through the park, but not too much stopping. It’s an amazing display of nature’s beauty and the chemical […]
Video Edition: Walnut Canyon National Monument
On our continued adventure eastward through Arizona following Route 66, we made a lunch stop at Walnut Canyon National Monument, where we hiked down a lot of steps to view the cliffside ruin dwellings of the Sinaqua people. It was a beautiful hike, the only catch being – what goes down, must come up! Our […]
Just what is a Technomaid?
I had someone write me this morning who misread my profile where I described myself as a technomad (technology integrated nomad). They asked: “Just what is a technomaid?” So, for the fun of it, I put it out to the Twitterverse and Facebook, and got a lot of fun answers: – Someone who cleans bread […]
