Over the past years of full time travel, a frequent question we’re asked is: “What’s your favorite place so far?” It’s become our least favorite question to be asked, and we’ve had to get creative in how we answer it. I’ve always hated being asked to name my favorite of anything – colors, food, […]
Oliver Travel Trailer (July 2008 - May 2011)
Three Years Ago Today
Three years ago today – May 10, 2007, I left my home vastly emptied out in Florida and hit the road with this new guy I met in his tiny little solar powered travel trailer. Today is my both my Nomadiversary and ours together. I spent about 6 weeks cleaning out closets, drawers, paperwork and […]
Meet 17 Inspiring Nomadic Households from NuRVers
This month’s introduction to nomads will be focused on the 17 nomadic households that we’ve been neighbors with over the past month here at the fantastic Hill Shade RV Park in Gonzales, TX for the NuRVers Gathering. We come from all walks of life, and from all over the place. The one thing we all […]
Nomadic Itch
While our nomadic spirit is constant, our desire to be in actual motion waxes and wans. We go through periods of constant motion, a new place every night or two. And then we crave stillness to absorb what is around us and concentrate on momentum in other areas of our lives. And when the nomad […]
Think Inside the Box (on wheels)
Breaking free from the templates of conventional living usually involves tradeoffs. In particular, pursuing a life of travel often comes with compromise. While living without a fixed address has many advantages, perpetually living on the road can be draining. For a taste of location independent freedom, you end up trading away the security of a […]
Quick Report from Days of Nu 2
We’ve been completely over-joyed with the NuRVer’s Days of Nu 2 Gathering taking place this weekend in Gonzales, TX. The people here are amazing, and we simply have not had the time to make daily posts about the event. However, Sara Janssen seems to have found the time, and is making some awesome posts each […]
Days of the Nu 2 – Follow Along !
For those of you unable to attend the NuRVers.com Days of the Nu 2 this week, first of all.. our deepest sympathy. You are missing one heck of a gathering of full time location independent travelers on wheels. We are expecting a dozen rigs and a few tents to join us here in Gonzales, TX. […]
Nomads Rolling In
Ever since we hit the road together almost 3 years ago (wow – time flies!), I’ve dreamed of being part of a nomadic community – we all roll on our own paths, and have convergences from time to time to share stories, resources and friendship. After an initial search for such a community, I was […]
Living via Solar Power in an RV (Our Oliver Travel Trailer Install – 2008-2011)
2012 Update: This post was written based off our last RV – a 17′ Oliver Travel Trailer that was designed for being off grid. After 3 years of full time travel in the Oliver, in June 2011 we moved into a 35′ vintage bus to create something more versatile. We are in the process of […]
Technomadic Essentials: Wine-In-A-Box
We have a lot of gear and technology that we consider essential to our technomadic lifestyle. It is hard to imagine traveling like we do without our computers, our iPhones, our solar panels, or our onboard media server.
But today I want to at last reveal what we consider to be our most essential piece of onboard equipment. In some ways, it embodies the pinacle of human technological innovation.
Nothing we have on board can match the overwhelming utility and versatility of… Wine-In-A-Box!
