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 […]
Nomadic Lifestyle
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 […]
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 […]
April Nomads
Another amazing month of encountering more nomadic-minded folks sharing their taless online. We invite you to meet some of them too: Boyink Advenures — The Boyink family is preparing to depart in an RV in September 2010 for a year long (or perhaps more) US road trip. Man Vs Debt – Adam Baker and his […]
US Census 2010: Counting Nomads
The timing was perfect, just as I was researching how full time travelers should make sure they get counted in US 2010 Census, a census enumerator shows up at our campsite in Austin, TX. With a home that moves and no place that we consider a single home base, we were curious as to where […]
Take the Serendipity Challenge
We strive to live our lives embracing nomadic serendipity, and keeping our schedule on Nomadic Standard Time. We’ve discovered that escaping the stress that comes from rushing around to meet scheduled obligations opens one up to truly being in tune with what is around you in the moment. This allows you to truly experience where […]
March Nomads
It’s that time again.. when we share with you some cool fellow nomadic folks we’ve discovered lately, and tempt you into spending all your free time being inspired. Writing these posts has become quite a joy for me, and keeps me constantly on the prowl for other like minds. As our February has been full […]
Boat Wanted
Only a week ago, the thought of Cherie and I sailing off into the sunset was a “certainly, but someday” sort of thing. But after spending some time at the Miami International Boat Show & Strictly Sailing event, the idea of relocating at least part of the year onto a liveaboard is starting to seem […]
The Miami International Boat Show
As planned, we spent Saturday and Sunday this past weekend at the Miami International Boat Show and the co-located sailing focused Strictly Sail Miami. Though these events have traditionally been very distinct, the no-longer-appropriately-named “Strictly Sail” has unfortunately now been devoured by the vastly larger powerboat focused Miami International Boat Show. To our disappointment, there […]
