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 […]

Watching The RVers’ TV Show as an RVer: No Cable? No Satellite? – No Problem!
In case you haven’t heard – we are co-hosts of the upcoming TV series ‘The RVers‘, premiering on Discovery Channel on November 17th at 8AM eastern. We are going to be on TV! But… we’ve been full time travelers for over 13 years now, and “cord cutters” even before then. Just what IS this TV thing?! […]
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 […]
INTRUDER ALERT – Important Tip Learned For Reaching 911 When You’re Not Local
Last week, our boat was broken into while in storage ‘on the hard’. We’re currently nearly a 1000 miles away from the boat, traveling by van and staying with family in the St. Louis area. As we were settling in for the evening to watch a cop show (ironically), we got a motion alert on […]
Tour of our Boat’s Electrical System – Solar, Lithium & Inverters!
As technomads – our mobile electrical systems are the lifeblood of our various nomadic homes. After all – we need to keep all this technology powered up somehow. And while stock RV and boat electrical systems are often perfectly useable (if somewhat limited) – whenever we embrace a technomadic home we just can’t resist diving […]
Nearly Ten Years in the App Store – An Update on the Technomadia App Collection
For those who have been following along here for a while – you might remember that we launched our first app State Lines way back on May 17th, 2010. Wow – it’ll be 10 years next year! This was back in the day of the iPhone 3GS and iOS 3.0! It is amazing how much […]
Back on the Great Loop – FINALLY Leaving Florida! (Or…Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Our Anchor?)
After a wonderful winter spent on the St. Johns River and in Sanford, we arrived back to Jacksonville so we could bounce over to the RVillage Rally in Live Oak. We returned to The Marina at Ortega Landing (same marina we stayed at back in fall), and came down with ‘conference crud’ that took us […]
[April Fools] How Do We Move the Car Between Ports While Cruising?
This was Chris’ April Fools Post.. enjoy the humor within 🙂 Here’s how we ACTUALLY move our vehicle between marinas: How We Hopscotch Our Car Between Marinas (For Realz…) When we first moved aboard our boat, Y-Not, we were not sure if it would be practical to keep our MINI Cooper that we’ve towed behind […]
Y-Not Upgrades & Modifications: Two Year Update and Bayliner 4788 Tour
It is hard to believe we’ve been (mostly) living on Y-Not for over two years now – wow! In that time, we’ve tackled some pretty big upgrades and maintenance projects. Some long planned, others scheduled by serendipity. And in the course of the past two years, we have managed to transform Y-Not into an incredibly […]
Our RV, Van & Boat Mobile Internet Setup – 18 Years of Keeping Online (Updated: October 2024)
When we first hit the road in 2006 to travel full-time, being able to work remotely utilizing mobile internet was absolutely essential in pursuing our nomadic dreams. We started off in a super tiny travel trailer, we were working remotely as software developers and technology consultants. While we were self employed, at the time we […]
