Adventures in Nomadic Serendipity
Exactly three years ago, on April 1st 2006, my nomadic wanderings began.
I set off without a clear plan, other than that I wanted to explore making nomadism a fulfilling life, and not a “trip” with some particular destination or end-point in mind. {More…}
One of the thing that we’ve been most wanting to incorporate into our blog posting has been maps.
After a lot of late night experimentation with a lot of Word Press plugins of (ahem) varying quality, I think I am at last happy with the results I am getting from the Wordpress Geo Mashup plugin. See what the maps look like…
On our journey down the Pacific Coast Highway (Route 1) of California, we stopped for a day at the base of Morro Rock. It is part of a series of nine volcanic plugs on the way to San Luis Obisbo county, and very distinctive looking as you drive into Morro Bay.
We’re often asked what a typical day is like for us. There really is no typical in our life – we try to avoid having that word describe us. So it’s probably best to occasionally illustrate what some of our days look like. Yesterday, our first day back in motion after a few months parked […]
Today we were able to join the Geeks at GeekSpeak at KUSP 88.9 in Santa Cruz during our adventure southward. Chris used to be a regular co-host to GeekSpeak when he lived in the Bay Area, and now we stop in when we’re in the area. We helped field calls and news stories, and on […]
When we first started off nomading around together almost two years ago, we really didn’t want our journey to be about anything other than our own discovery. Our website used to be primarily for friends and family to keep up with us. But over time, more and more folks have been peaking in on us, […]
As technomads, many are surprised to hear that we opted not to have a satellite TV receiver installed on our Oliver Travel Trailer, and ask if we miss having that sort of media content in our lives. It was a standard option for our unit, but with wanting solar panels it was an easy decision […]
Today we hosted a very fabulous Open ‘House’ at our little RV Park in South San Francisco, as a way of being able to show our many friends in the area our wonderful Oliver Travel Trailer, and say ‘good bye for now’ to many as we prepare to hitch up tomorrow morning to embark on […]
On Monday morning we will hitch up after having had the landing pads down for a few months in the San Francisco area. We’ve had a wonderful time immersing ourselves in community, building friendships and doing all the things that we love about the area. Being able to be somewhere for several months at a time has been wonderful and more our pace than being constantly in motion.
Being nomadic, after all, does not mean having to always be on the move.
Our general plan for the next couple of months is to head south than east, arriving in Austin by late April and St. Louis by Mother’s Day. And then back in the Bay Area by mid-August for Burning Man.
I love to travel, I always have. From a very early age, travel has been a part of my life. I love the experience of exploring a new place, meeting new people, sharing experiences and just getting out there. However, I’m also a bit of a homebody. As an introvert, I have limited reserves for […]
