Technomadia
Adventures in Nomadic Serendipity
During our visit to Hemet, California we had a nomadic rendezvous with fellow technomad Ben Willmore. Ben, like us, gave up his physical home and has been traveling around full time for over 3 years now in a customized 40ft motor coach. He’s an expert photographer and Photoshop wizard, and he funds his nomadic lifestyle by giving seminars, writing books, and conducting training expeditions.
We thought it’s be interesting to talk with him about his approach to technomadism and compare notes:

I marvel at the existence of a female with the discipline to cope with boat style (water and waste conserving) showers, storage tank issues, limited storage space and energy conservation. A rare find. Chris received the above comment in an e-mail from someone who has been following our journey – obviously, a male. Aside from […]
When we last left our technomadic adventurers, they had just completed 12 days at Burning Man 2008 and joined up with the Oliver Road Crew for the International Camel Races in Virginia City, NV. Due to popular demand, here are pictures of actual camels! From the Camel Races, we ventured on to Carson City to […]
There’s something about the two month mark into a nomadic journey. It’s the point where your mind shifts from seeing the adventure as some sort of extended vacation to it being life. For the first several weeks, there are adjustments – but it’s easy enough see them as temporary. Then, something around 2 months happens […]
While at Burning Man on my deep playa art tour, I encountered a giant red phone. I really didn’t think all that much of it.. because stuff like that is kinda the more the norm than the unexpected out there. But what I didn’t expect was to encounter the The Phone Car here in Virginia […]
