I’m still buzzing off the energy of Burning Man, and particularly our theme camp, Camp Nomadia. When we first had the vision for hosting the camp in 2008, we imagined a community of full time travelers all converging in one spot to share community, but not infrastructure.

Oliver Travel Trailer (July 2008 - May 2011)
Travelogue: St. Louis, MO to Black Rock City, NV
Time Frame: August 2 – 28, 2010 Miles Driven: 2825 After a way too brief of a stop in St. Louis, it was time to continue west towards Burning Man. It seems every year we find ourselves in this predicament – way too little time to traverse some of the most beautiful scenery our country […]

Nomadic Fitness Solution – Running!
Staying fit can be a challenge for us nomadic types, faced with small living spaces, a lack of equipment, and an ever-changing environment. It is hard to have any sort of fitness routine when there is essentially nothing routine about your day-to-day life. Bikes just weren’t worth it For our first couple years on the […]
Camp Nomadia 2010 – A Burning Man Theme Camp

Creative Ideas for a Small Mobile Living Space
When living in a small space, you sometimes have to get creative with solutions to problems. You start to think differently about space and how to best utilize it.
