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 […]

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 […]
Technomadic Essentials: Wine-In-A-Box
We have a lot of gear and technology that we consider essential to our technomadic lifestyle. It is hard to imagine traveling like we do without our computers, our iPhones, our solar panels, or our onboard media server.
But today I want to at last reveal what we consider to be our most essential piece of onboard equipment. In some ways, it embodies the pinacle of human technological innovation.
Nothing we have on board can match the overwhelming utility and versatility of… Wine-In-A-Box!
BEWARE: Mobile Data Roaming = $10k/hr!
Most people know that international roaming charges can be pricey. But few realize just how outrageous these roaming charges can be. But imagine how you would feel if you inadvertently racked up over $10,000 in charges after just an hour or two of web surfing and email while in a foreign country? It happens, even […]

Video Edition: STS-130 – Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour
Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1. We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around the country.) […]
Digital Fasting
One of the things that worried us most about taking the workamping gig at Amazon’s distribution center in Kansas was their strict no cell phone policy. That would mean for 12 hours a day for a month, we would have no contact with the outside world – a very weird concept for us digital nomads. […]
10 Most Popular Holiday Gift Items
For those curious about what people are buying this season, I thought I’d share my observations about what are the most popular items being shipping based on what I’m personally packing while we ‘workamp’ in Kansas. Lots of folks getting cameras for the holidays.. here are some that are most frequent buys and apparently incredible […]
Our Mobile Technology Arsenal
As technology enabled nomads (thus ‘Technomad’), our mobile technology arsenal plays a critical role in our chosen lifestyle. In addition to evaluating usefulness, geek-factor and quality, we have several unusual but critical considerations to take into account when choosing technology – particularly size and power consumption. Living in around 80 square feet of space, stuff […]
Thrilling Changes!
One itch that being nomadic scratches is my seeming need for new experiences, new surroundings and a change of pace. This past week, our Jeep which is our tow vehicle, has been in the shop having transmission issues resolved. Taking away our option to move our house creates an interesting feeling that we’ve not felt […]
