15 Years of Technomadia: 15 Lessons – A Cacophony of Memories

May 10, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

15 years.. just.. wow. I can hardly believe that is how long it’s been since I pulled out of the driveway of my comfortable beachside home in a super tiny T@b travel trailer with this guy I had met on a Prius forum. We registered the domain name of Technomadia.com just days before we headed […]

Retrospective: 2009 – Community

Apr 29, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 8 Comments

Leaving friends, family and community behind to hit the road is honestly, tough. As an introvert, I crave a few close deep connections over lots of lighter ones. And I value continuity and regular interaction. And I didn’t have much of that left in Florida when I met Chris. Much of my own community had […]

Retrospective: 2008 – Scarcity vs Abundance

Apr 28, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

Hitting the road meant leaving my bubble, where my identity was rooted. I was now regularly meeting new amazing people across the country and constantly navigating new things. That should be exciting, right? My career, my social network, my place in the world was in transition. I had left my foundation behind. I had given […]

RV Hacks: Travel Photo Library Management Tip and a New Book!

Jul 6, 2021 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

Once you’ve been on the road a while, you inevitably start to accumulate a ton of photos. And not all of them blog worthy shots. In fact, some of them might be downright awful. Like those shots of inside your pocket, blurry attempts at capturing a rainbow, or hundreds of photos trying to capture your […]

The 12 RVs of Technomadia – Class A, B, C and Towables, Which is Better?

May 21, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 11 Comments

Earlier this month we recognized both my 13th ‘Nomadiversary’ and one year since we added our Winnebago Travato camper van to our nomadic fleet. As we were reminiscing about our years on the road, we counted up the number of RVs we’ve traveled or lived in. We couldn’t believe it when we came up with […]

Bus Maintenance and Oliver Travel Trailer Factory Tour

Apr 15, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

On Tuesday, April 1st – Chris’s 8th Nomadiversary, we departed our sweet little spot at F. D. Roosevelt State Park in Georgia and headed north to Chattanooga.  Our purpose, as it always is, is routine bus chassis maintenance at Choo Choo Express Garage. Choo Choo Bus Maintenance Wednesday morning our mechanic Joel got right to […]

Help Us Kickstart ‘The Wireless Generation’

Aug 1, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 1 Comment

First of all…  SQUEEEEEE!! We’re going to be in a documentary!! Ok, had to get the excitement out of our systems. Almost two years ago, friends, fellow digital nomads and bloggers Christine & Drew Gilbert (Almost Fearless) came to Burning Man to film us at Camp Nomadia for a documentary.  It was a new idea […]

A Rare Oliver Travel Trailer – For Sale

Jul 9, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard Leave a Comment

As many of you probably already know, we traveled full time from 2008 – 2011 in a very sweet, decked out, 17′ fiberglass egg custom constructed for us by Oliver Travel Trailers.  We sold ours last year in an unsolicited offer, which prompted our moving on to a vintage bus. These trailers were made to […]

Our 2011 Travel Route

Dec 28, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

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 […]
