I remember before I went nomadic, that when I visited somewhere there was always internal pressure to ‘see it all’. I was there for a defined amount of time, and there was rarely a sense of someday returning. It was also special time set aside to experience a new environment and escape a normal day. […]

In just about a week, we will be ending our glorious winter in St. John, US Virgin Islands and returning to our little Oliver Travel Trailer parked in Florida. As the day has grown nearer, we’ve had quite a few folks ask us : Why on earth would you want to leave St. John? You […]

I was at a loss for a blog topic this week, so I put out a call on Twitter & Facebook to see what folks where curious about asking us. We got lots of great questions! One that surprised us was a follower who thought our monthly expenses that we log were shockingly high. He […]
Sex and Work on the Beach
Oh, what a dream a laptop lifestyle seems to be. Grab your electronics, find a beach with good wireless bandwidth and spend the day with an amazing office view, scantly clad beachcombers, sounds of waves lapping up on the shore and perhaps a fruity tropical drink by your side. All while getting actual work done, […]
