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 […]
Pondering New Challenges
This coming May, we will mark our third nomadiversary of being on the road together. Over the past three years we have vastly simplified our lives. We have experimented with, refined, and tweaked our little RV into our ideal travel vessel. We have become skilled at off-grid living. We have learned to set a travel […]
