Life on the Road

Inside the Traveler’s Mind – on Travellious

Aug 5, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard Leave a Comment

For the past couple of months we’ve enjoyed corressponding with Kelley over at the fabulous Travellious website.  And for the past two weeks we’ve been very excitedly following her own 2 week road trip from Seattle to the Travel Blog Exchange conference in Chicago. We even marveled at the Wondermap that they created to track […]

Yesterday we left our awesome free lakefront campsite near Junction City, Kansas and spent the day driving through rural Kansas and eastern Colorado.  But before we left, my Living on NST – Nomadic Standard Time post that I wrote over the weekend was scheduled to post, and I got a tweet out about it. It […]

Ways to Support Technomadia

You may have noticed that this website doesn’t have any intrusive advertising. Unlike many bloggers, we are not focused on trying to turn this website into a major source of income for us.

Happy Birthday, Orion!

Jul 31, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard Leave a Comment

One year ago today, we drove to Hohenwald, Tennessee and picked up our custom built dream technomadic home – a 17′ Oliver Legacy Elite by Oliver Travel Trailers. We named it Orion. Since then, we’ve taken our home all around the country. Orion has been coast to coast and has visited 26 states in its […]

Jul 20, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

A while back, Craig Martin of the award winning Indie Travel Podcast – Travel Talks, invited us to make a guest video podcast contribution about our travels. And it’s just been published!! We put together an overview of how we came to travel, construction of our technomadic home (which isn’t as cool a Knight Rider, […]

Travelogue: St. Louis to Indiana

Jul 17, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

Time Period: June 12 – June 29 Miles Driven: 799 After a couple of weeks of our adventures being driven on visiting family in Texas and St. Louis, our attentions turned to social time with new and old friends. We had found some regional Burning Man events to attend, and even rendezvoused with another friend […]

Trusting Things Will Work Out

Jul 14, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

One of the most difficult lessons that I’ve had to learn in embracing a nomadic lifestyle is trusting that things will work out. It’s difficult to take a leap not knowing knowing where you’ll land. When I decided to embark on full time nomadism, I couldn’t have picked a worse economic time. I had a […]

Two Years Shampoo Free

Jul 14, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’ve not shampooed my hair in nearly 2 years now. I think the image that conjurs up is unruly matted dreads, which is not how my naturally curly red hair looks.  And actually, my hair has never been healthier and more manageable than since […]

Campground Review: Erbie Campground @ Buffalo National River, Arkansas

Jul 7, 2009 by Chris Dunphy 5 Comments

After our stay at Hot Spring National Park, we headed north following the beautifully scenic highway 7 through the Ozarks. Once the sun set though, the road wasn’t nearly so scenic. We saw a road sign indicating a campground in the woods off to our left, so we headed down a dark dirt road in […]

3 Benefits of Living in a Small Space

Jul 2, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

A very common question we’re asked is if we ever wish we had selected a larger living space.   Our quick answer is, no – our space is perfect and well considered for our needs. At only 80 square feet of living space, our Oliver Travel Trailer is a lot smaller than most folks consider […]
