T@b Travel Trailer (April 2006 - July 2008)

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: 2007 – Overcoming Obstacles

Apr 27, 2022 by Cherie Ve Ard 21 Comments

Chris had hit the road solo just a year prior in a tiny little travel trailer pulled by a Jeep (he just marked 16 years on the road). We met online just a couple months later, and we spent much of our time ‘dating’ by meeting up across the country and us trialing traveling together […]

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 […]

Five Years of Love on the Road

Oct 18, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 46 Comments

Today is a special day for us.  It was five years ago that Chris and I met in person for the first time. It was also the day we had our first technomadic adventure. We had been corresponding online since the prior June, just a couple months after Chris gave up his San Francisco apartment, […]

Then & Now

Dec 21, 2009 by Chris Dunphy 7 Comments

Four years ago, I lived in a large luxurious two bedroom top floor corner condo located in the heart of San Francisco – walking distance to everything. I had a panoramic view of downtown out my living room windows (see the photo above), and I could watch the fog spilling over Twin Peaks from bed. […]

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 […]

Our 2008 Travel Route

Jan 1, 2009 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

Our route for our adventures in 2008. We left Indian Harbour Beach, Florida on July 13 and ended the year in San Francisco. A total of 9120 miles traveled and 17 states visited. The Blue line represents our time with the T@b, and the Red line represents where we picked up our new Oliver Travel […]

Jeep Life (YouTube Commercial!)

Nov 13, 2008 by Chris Dunphy Leave a Comment

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now… A few months ago, I received the following comment on this photo found in my Flickr set: Hey did you guys know this pic is in a jeep commercial? I was thinking about getting a tab and have seen your pics before and as I […]

Technomadia v2 – Oliver Alternatives

May 26, 2008 by Chris Dunphy Leave a Comment

It is looking pretty certain that by this time tomorrow, we will have placed an order for a custom-built Oliver Travel Trailer. We’ve considered a lot of alternatives, and it really feels like this is the best choice for our next home. Here are my thoughts on the other options we’ve considered: Stop Nomading: I […]
