People often associate a high price tag with traveling. I think they often take the typical cost of a weeklong vacation and use that as a basis as what it might cost to travel full time.
Nomadic Lifestyle
Three Years Nomadic
Exactly three years ago, on April 1st 2006, my nomadic wanderings began.
I set off without a clear plan, other than that I wanted to explore making nomadism a fulfilling life, and not a “trip” with some particular destination or end-point in mind. {More…}
Taking your Job & Career on the Road to Travel Full Time – Excuse #1
In America, traveling full time is something that seems to be by default left for retirement after a career – when life savings, pension and social security can pay for the base expenses.

For the first several weeks, there are adjustments – but it’s easy enough see them as temporary. Then, something around 2 months happens […]
RV & Solar – Electric Wiring Issues

This means that as you decrease the voltage on a wire, the current required to send the same amount of power increases. For […]
