There’s some pretty major family stuff up in our lives that is taking our focus, so please excuse our absence from posting much recently and in the coming weeks. We’ll update on that when more is known, but for now – I’m reposting something we did on water conseveration from before this blog was as […]
Nomadic Lifestyle
Like Slowly Pulling a Bandage Off
May I take a moment and share with you something that is not easy about our traveling lifestyle? A nomad must get proficient at the art of saying good-bye – for you are always arriving and soon after leaving. Unless one can become detached emotionally enough, it’s going to tug at heartstrings.

Introducing: State Lines for iPhone
Because some things change when you cross the line… Traveling around the USA, you likely have had some of the same experiences we have… You pull into a new state, decide it’s a good night for a beer, and assume you can stock up at a grocery store. You search and search, only to find […]
Our Least Favorite Question: What’s Your Favorite Place?
Over the past years of full time travel, a frequent question we’re asked is: “What’s your favorite place so far?” It’s become our least favorite question to be asked, and we’ve had to get creative in how we answer it. I’ve always hated being asked to name my favorite of anything – colors, food, […]

While living without a fixed address has many advantages, perpetually living on the road can be draining. For a taste of location independent freedom, you end up trading away the security of a […]
Nomads Rolling In
Ever since we hit the road together almost 3 years ago (wow – time flies!), I’ve dreamed of being part of a nomadic community – we all roll on our own paths, and have convergences from time to time to share stories, resources and friendship. After an initial search for such a community, I was […]
Living via Solar Power in an RV (Our Oliver Travel Trailer Install – 2008-2011)
2012 Update: This post was written based off our last RV – a 17′ Oliver Travel Trailer that was designed for being off grid. After 3 years of full time travel in the Oliver, in June 2011 we moved into a 35′ vintage bus to create something more versatile. We are in the process of […]
