Our 2009 Travel Route
Though we have been technomadic for several years now, 2009 was our first full year living on the road and in our trailer without any other physical place to call ‘home’ – in 2007 and 2008 (click for the past year summary posts) we spent part of each winter living in and working to sell […]
Featured on Gizmodo: Santa’s Elves at Amazon.com
While we joked that working as seasonal elves at Amazon for the past month felt more like being an investigative reporter than a workamper – we never imagined that our retelling of our experience would be of interest outside of our blog. We were thrilled when Joel Johnson of Gizmodo contacted us earlier this week to […]
Road Ahead: Winter 2010
In the next week, we will end our workamping gig at Amazon.com‘s distribution center in Kansas and head on to St. Louis to spend the holidays with family.

Inside Amazon.com’s Coffeyville Warehouse
We’ve been “workamping” at Amazon.com’s Coffeyville Kansas fulfillment center since November 22. One of Amazon’s staffing agencies, ExpressPro, has for the past several years organized bringing in hundreds of RV-living workampers to help out in Amazon’s peak season.

Our Mobile Technology Arsenal
As technology enabled nomads (thus ‘Technomad’), our mobile technology arsenal plays a critical role in our chosen lifestyle.

Living in around 80 square feet of space, stuff […]
Guest Post: Nomadic Life Aboard a Cruise Ship
Note: This is a rare guest post from our friend Marc – who has found a different way of scratching his wanderlust and career passions by working aboard cruise ships. We asked him to share what his version of nomadic life is like. ========== Several years ago, I decided to pursue a full-time career in […]
The Road Ahead: Summer 2009
The remainder of our summer plans are starting to take form, in part thanks to one of Cherie’s clients booking a training class in DC in mid-July. Our general plans are looking something like this: now – June 30 : Northern Indiana, including a trip up to South Haven, MI for Lakes of Fire Regional […]
Travelogue: Texas to St. Louis
Time period: April 24 – May 17, 2009 Miles Driven: 1593 After weeks of no firm plans and trusting in nomadic serendipity to guide our journey through Arizona and New Mexico, after Carlsbad Caverns we were back on route to our next planned destination – Austin, Texas. Austin is where Cherie grew up, and her […]
Two Year Nomadiversary

Chris had already been “officially nomadic” for a bit over a year, having started his solo travels in April 2006. A few months later we first connected online, and in October we met in person and started dating. […]
