Hard to believe it’s been a month since we arrived to Sanford aboard our boat. It feels like both a year ago, and a day ago. How weird time flows these days. I know we’re not alone in that feeling as each day seems like a repeat of the last. Earlier this week we were […]
Nomadic Lifestyle
Mobile Internet Updates – Our Personal Setup, New Video Course & Coverage? App Updates
As most of our readers might be aware, Technomadia is our personal blog where we share the travel side of our technomadic lifestyle – and many years ago we branched off our mobile internet & connectivity content to reside over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center instead of here. Keeping on top of this Resource Center […]
Sheltering in Place as a Nomad During COVID-19 (And a Heads-Up to Those in the Desert!)
Stay at home. Shelter in Place. Self-Isolate. Quarantine. Essential Services Only. Don’t travel! All phrases new to most of us. And for nomads, it’s been a confusing logistical landscape. Why We Can’t Travel as Nomads Full time nomads (RVers and boaters) travel in their homes. And many of us are old-pros at self-isolating. Put us […]
Evolving COVID Plans – Return to Sanford, FL
In our last update, we shared we were back to cruising after getting our boat out of storage in Savannah and heading to our home state of Florida. We didn’t have plans beyond that, except perhaps anchoring out long term in social isolation. Quick Video Update Version: On our way, marina shuts downs and possible […]
Happy 5th Birthday Xscapers / General Quick Update
It was 5 years ago this week that we attended the 2015 Escapade in Tucson, AZ and helped the Escapees RV Club launch their new club within a club called Xscapers! And wow.. look how far it has come! With over 12,000 members they are hosting monthly convergences, enabling community and providing resources aimed at […]
Traveling with a Bus & Van: Convoying Two RVs
One of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten since we traded in our MINI Cooper for a Class-B Winnebago Travato van conversion was – do we flat tow the van behind our motorhome? And nope, the Dodge ProMaster chassis is not flat towable. And our bus conversion really isn’t meant for towing much of anything […]
Xscapers Annual Bash 2020 & New Years Eve Blowout – What a Way to Start the Decade!
Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]
Lessons Learned After Long Term RV Storage – Getting Zephyr Back on the Road
We stored our RV for nearly 1.5 years, and learned a lot. In early 2018 we drove our bus to Texas to attend & speak at the RV Entrepreneur Summit. We had tried and tried to get a spot at the co-op park in Benson by then so we could then just proceed to Arizona […]
We Have Arrived to Benson to our Lot at SKP Saguaro (And a ‘Please Don’t Drop By Unannounced’ Reminder)
We have arrived to our winter basecamp in Benson, AZ – to the lot we are leaseholders at in the SKP Saguaro Co-Op Park. The bus and van convoy was a smooth 800 mile drive that we did over 3-days, and it was much more enjoyable than either of us anticipated. The bus drove like […]
Travato Van Mods for Living & Working on the Road – 3 Month Full Time Update
It’s hard to believe – we have been in our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G for nearly 3 months as our home base. It all started with wanting to be with my mom back in early August for her surgery and then evacuating for Hurricane Dorian. Since the boat was already hauled out, we decided to […]
