“Technomedia” – Technomadia In the Media

TechnoMEDIA

Technomedia

We didn't set out to need a media appearances page.  But somehow over the years we've been invited to be part of several interviews, podcasts, books, events, major conferences .. and even host a TV show. It's truly an honor and humbling.

Be in touch if you'd like to include us in something.

Want to book us to speak at your event? If it's online.. awesome, definitely be in touch!

If it's in person? Well...  quite honestly - we designed our lives to be location independent so we didn't have to be in a particular location at a particular time. So we minimize location based commitments for our own sanity. But hey, serendipity works out sometimes - we might be open to being a last minute addition.

Publications & Online Courses We Contribute Towards:

  • Escapees RVers Online University - We're instructors of the 'Staying Connected' course
  • Xscapers - We regularly contribute content to the Xscaper's Blog, and randomly present last minute at their events.
  • Escapees Magazine - We've written several articles for the magazine - usually on mobile internet or technology topics.

This is of course all on top of hosting our very own Mobile Internet Resource Center (MIRC) - full of articles, guides and videos about mobile internet solutions for RVers and cruisers.

And of course our two YouTube Channels: Technomadia YouTube and MIRC YouTube.

"Want to take a leap and pursue a dream? After 12 years, this couple is technically still on their fifth date. They're also niche celebrities. Cherie Ve Ard and Chris Dunphy are world-famous tech geeks for their personal blog and website, Technomadia.com. Their business, The Mobile Internet Resource Center, advises those living in an RV or aboard a boat how to best connect to the internet. This pair has a really interesting yin and yang dynamic, and share a fondness for Burning Man. Their relationship began long before social media, when they met in an internet discussion forum about the Toyota Prius. "
