Celebrating Ten Years of ‘Coverage?’ in the App Store – 3G, 4G, 5G!

Dec 22, 2020 by Chris Dunphy 4 Comments

Ten years ago today we launched our second app – ‘Coverage?‘. Ten years in the App Store. Wow! ‘Coverage?’ was launched way back in the era of 3G and sparse coverage maps that were more dead zone than not in many parts of the country. Having the ability to carry your own personalized coverage maps […]

Nomads on Pause: Our Longest Stay Yet!

Aug 30, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

Five months ago we arrived back to Sanford, Florida – a favorite stop in our prior travels that felt most like home to us. Effectively putting nomadic life on pause as we wait out the pandemic and the craziness of the world. This now marks our longest stay in one place since we hit the […]

RVing and Cruising During Hurricane Season

Aug 11, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

So here we are again, in the southeast on the precipice of peak hurricane season. Despite hopes and wishes, not only did the season not get rescheduled due to COVID – it seems like the months ahead are shaping up to be a doozy with nearly double the number of predicted storms. At this point, […]

Getting Back to Abundant Desert Boondocking

Jul 11, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

Earlier this year we returned to our boondocking roots for a month in the deserts of Arizona in our bus. It was oh so wonderful to be out in nature, on our own and feeling abundant in the systems we had long ago setup on Zephyr. From water management, tanks, solar and lithium – in […]

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 […]

Boat vs RV: Which Costs More?

May 8, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

Ever since we purchased our motor yacht to start exploring the Great Loop after over a decade of full time RVing – we’ve been asked the question “which costs more?” multiple times. Now that we’ve had our boat for three years (3 years?!?!), we have enough numbers to do a proper comparison of the typical […]

Mobile Internet Updates – Our Personal Setup, New Video Course & Coverage? App Updates

Apr 16, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 1 Comment

As most of our readers might be aware, Technomadia is our personal blog where we share the travel side of our technomadic lifestyle – and many years ago we branched off our mobile internet & connectivity content to reside over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center instead of here. Keeping on top of this Resource Center […]

Sheltering in Place as a Nomad During COVID-19 (And a Heads-Up to Those in the Desert!)

Apr 13, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 19 Comments

Stay at home. Shelter in Place. Self-Isolate. Quarantine. Essential Services Only. Don’t travel! All phrases new to most of us. And for nomads, it’s been a confusing logistical landscape. Why We Can’t Travel as Nomads Full time nomads (RVers and boaters) travel in their homes. And many of us are old-pros at self-isolating. Put us […]

Happy 5th Birthday Xscapers / General Quick Update

Mar 10, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

It was 5 years ago this week that we attended the 2015 Escapade in Tucson, AZ and helped the Escapees RV Club launch their new club within a club called Xscapers! And wow.. look how far it has come! With over 12,000 members they are hosting monthly convergences, enabling community and providing resources aimed at […]

Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road

Jan 8, 2020 by Cherie Ve Ard 24 Comments

We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
