When it comes to getting online, very often nothing beats a little altitude. We’ve long loved the WiFiRanger Sky on the roof of our bus – it has worked wonders in many campgrounds allowing us to surf away happily via WiFi at distances substantially further than we could ever reach without it. But if a […]

Mobile Income Sources for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads: Jobs, Careers, Entrepreneurship and Workamping
Many people have dreams of long term travel, something that is more than the typical 1-2 week vacation a couple times a year (or every couple of years!). They crave a slower pace to more fully immerse themselves in different cultures and experiences. More opportunity to enjoy quality time with far flung friends and family. […]
Quick RVing Tip: Toad Light Check
A few weeks ago, our friend Chris Guld let me know that the first time they met us a year ago she was inspired by watching us check our toad’s lights. Usually we like inspiring folks for less mundane things, but we’ll go with it. She liked our system so much, that she and Jim […]
Three Years in a Vintage Bus
Has it really been three years already?!? It seems like just yesterday we were roaming around the country on a month long Amtrak pass searching for a vintage bus to become our next home on wheels. After 4 years of traveling in smaller travel trailers and having just spent a winter living in the US Virgin Islands, […]

When you own a bus, or well, any home actually – there’s always a to-do list a mile long of potential future projects. Our lovely Zephyr is no exception. We bought her almost 3 years ago for a song, but knowing full well that it would unending upgrade projects. So when we have access to […]
Change Your Office View: Full Time RVing Workspace Examples (Part 2)
Adapting to living on the road in an RV means adjusting to small house living. That’s tough enough. But if you’re working on the road from your mobile home, that also means finding a way to comfortably setup desk space. We started this series last year, and have been collecting more case studies of awesome […]
Postcards from the Road
Last year, for Christmas, I gave my 91 year old grandma an empty book. And no, I was not being a grinch. Technology makes it easy to stay in touch with connected family and friends. I regularly FaceTime with my folks, exchange text messages with old friends, and our blog and Facebook make it easy for […]
Reflections from Seven Years on the Road
Seven years ago today, after several weeks of hectic preparations – Chris and I set off together as full time technomads. I consider May 10 to be my personal ‘Nomadiversary’. He had already been on the road for a bit over a year solo, although we spent a lot of that at my Florida home together, […]
Introducing: US Public Lands for iPhone/iPad & Android
Flash back to early June 2007. Just a couple weeks earlier I had left my stationary home in Florida and set off across the country in a small 16′ T@b trailer with Chris. My crazy adventure of full time RVing had just begun, fueled by biodiesel and the “anything is possible” energy of a new […]
Introducing RVillage.com – Technomadia’s ‘Secret Project’
It started last August. We had just wrapped up closing down Cherie’s family business, which had been the focus of her career and her primary source of income for the past 20 years. After several back-to-back major life challenges, we announced that we were excitedly looking forward to treating ourselves to a bit of a mini-sabatical […]
