Fourteen years ago today, I began my life as a full-time Technomad.

Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road
We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
