When we started our blog at Technomadia, Chris used the tagline ‘Adventures in Nomadic Serendipity’. While I’ve lived a pretty adventurous life even before him, I was an overplanner. I left little room for chance. And when plans didn’t go as intended, I was stressed. To set off on this new adventure, I had to […]
Vintage Bus Hunt (April - June 2011)
Starlink & 5G – Future of Mobile Internet for RVers and Boaters: Are We Excited??
The internet is all abuzz about Starlink satellite internet and 5G cellular. Will these two emerging new technologies live up to the hype as a mobile internet solution for RVers and boaters? As part of our day job over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center we’ve been closely tracking both 5G and Starlink for years. We […]
Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
Birthday Week on the Road (an Untraditional Nomadic Thanksgiving)
For the past many years, Chris and I have headed back east for holidays with the family. While we love our families, and spending time with them – we wanted to experience a different winter and decided to stick around the desert southwest this year. We’ve been caravanning with our WheelingIt buddies the past month, and discovered that both […]
Abundance of Nomadic Community
When we booked our site for the winter in Cedar Key, we never imagined the community that would transpire here. Especially as most of our gang from last year were meeting up in the deserts of southern California to bring in the new year together. At last count, we have 25+ different full time RV-households […]
Our 2011 Travel Route
Every year since we hit the road together, I’ve hand created a year end routing map – it’s such a fun way to reflect on the year’s adventures. Our past maps : 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 2011 was a year of a lot of changes for us, and trying to illustrate that on a map was quite […]
Five Years of Love on the Road
Today is a special day for us. It was five years ago that Chris and I met in person for the first time. It was also the day we had our first technomadic adventure. We had been corresponding online since the prior June, just a couple months after Chris gave up his San Francisco apartment, […]
Traveling the USA via Amtrak Rail Pass
After selling our Oliver Travel Trailer, and spending a month transitioning our travels in a borrowed Le’Sharo motorhome – we purchased a month long Amtrak Rail Pass to continue our vintage bus hunt. We thought we’d share what we learned about traveling via a rail pass and life aboard Amtrak. About the Amtrak USA Rail […]
Negotiating with Our Bus
Our last post left you off with us making an offer on a vintage bus in Yuma, AZ that we nicknamed ‘Taxi Bus’. After our contingent offer was accepted, the next morning we made the trip from Lake Havasu City (where we’ve been basing out of while staying with dear friends) back down to […]
Our Search for a Vintage Bus
This post will take you on a condensed (really!) version of the journey that we’ve been on for the past couple of months to find our vintage bus. We’ve had many requests to share pictures and stories of the various buses we’ve investigated. Perhaps sharing our process and top contenders might help others who are […]
