Wow. SXSW was completely awesome, and we’ve been running full steam since returning the to Virgin Islands last Thursday. We’re just getting around to processing through all the photos to share our experience. This post will concentrate on the Day of the Nomad events, and I’ll follow-up soon with a general SXSW wrap-up. The Day […]
Life on the Road
SXSW Interactive – The Day of the Nomad
This afternoon we will be on our way to Austin, where we’re presenting at SXSW this weekend! We’re so excited.. and also intimidated.. to be entering so much chaos after 4 months of glorious chill time on a remote tropical island in a town of population 500. What a way to come out of hiding […]
Pondering: What’s Next?
Our tickets are booked – we head back to where our RV is parked in Florida on April 5, ending our wonderful winter season in the US Virgin Islands. We’ve been trying to shift focus to considering what life might look like for us upon returning stateside. We’ve been considering the range of desires we […]
Washed Up on Drunk Bay
Just an easy 10 minute hike west of the Salt Pond Bay beach on the Coral Bay side of St. John, is Drunk Bay. Despite its name, this bay is not named for being the spot where St. Johnians come to party. But rather, the name ‘Drunk’ is taken from the Dutch Creole word for […]
An Introvert’s Guide to Meeting People While Traveling Full-Time
I test out consistently as a pretty extreme introvert, and I’ve actively worked my entire life to not allow that introversion to rule me by manifesting as shyness. These days, I generally consider myself an extroverted introvert when I’m in my comfort zone of being around a small group of like minded people. And I […]
St. John’s 8 Tuff Miles!
This past Saturday morning I ran in the 8 Tuff Miles race up and over the island of St. John – starting in Cruz Bay and ending on our side of the island in Coral Bay. It was an incredible experience. We first heard about the run back in October when we were researching heading […]
Sex and Work on the Beach
Oh, what a dream a laptop lifestyle seems to be. Grab your electronics, find a beach with good wireless bandwidth and spend the day with an amazing office view, scantly clad beachcombers, sounds of waves lapping up on the shore and perhaps a fruity tropical drink by your side. All while getting actual work done, […]
The Countdown is On!
A couple weeks ago we made the realization that our time (as in, time to just us) on St. John would soon be coming to an end. With the arrival of an out of town guest joining us in running 8 Tuff Miles tomorrow (an appropriately named run that crosses the island from Cruz […]
Answers to Your Questions
One recent evening we asked on Twitter & Facebook for questions you had for us. Many where things we’ve addressed before. So seemed like a great time to put together a post that helps you explore our archives from our past years of travel. Q 1: How can I earn an income on the road, […]
This means war!!
Oh boy. Sure. My people post all about their amazing adventures on the beaches around St. John here in the USVI. But have they told you about *my* life here? They took me to the beach one day. It wasn’t fun. Do I look amused? Those waves are scary!! But there are fun things to […]
