As full time technomads we’re often dependent upon cellular data signals and occasional open WiFi hotspots for our bandwidth. With variable speeds (our Sprint datacard can range in speeds reminscent of 2400 baud dial-up modems all the way up to DSL), shaky connections and monthly bandwidth caps, we likely experience the internet in a slightly different way […]

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.

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 […]
Video Edition: Chapel of the Holy Dove
On our way back from the Grand Canyon to rejoin with Route 66, we took Highway 180 south in to Flagstaff, AZ. It was a beautiful drive, and on the way we spotted an interesting little building off to the side of the road. We turned around to take a peak, and discovered it was […]
Two Year Nomadiversary
Two years ago today – on May 10, 2007 – we embarked on our nomadic adventures together. 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. […]
Video Edition: Grand Canyon
We made a last minute detour up to the Grand Canyon off of our Route 66 tour. We found available camping on the South Rim at Mather Campground. The Grand Canyon is just one of those things that defies words, and you just have to see to experience it. Link to video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpYGuC5UsAE [geo_mashup_map]
