We spent the last part of 2009 trying out workamping at Amazon.com’s fullfillment center in Coffeyville, Kansas. We finally have enough of the details brought together to share our assessment about the financial rewards, hours involved and challenges. As we generally earn our income doing various technical & marketing consulting, both remotely online and onsite, […]

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 iPhone App Essentials for RV Travel
March 6, 2013: We have a big update to this post – check it out at Our iPhone & iPad App Essentials for RV Travel! As Technomads, it should be no surprise that we are mobile technology lovers. We love our iPhones (and yes, we did just both upgrade to the new iPhone 4), and we […]
How to find RV Parks, Campgrounds and Free Boondocking (Updated)
Whether you plan in advance for your camping or wing it, here are the tools that we use in our search for ideal camp spots. Unfortunately, there does not yet seem to be one unified resource listing all camping opportunities, so we utilize many different resources. We released the first version of this guide in […]
Getting Settled in St. John
Wow. Can’t believe we’ve already been in St. John a week. And more so, just how much we’ve gotten accomplished since we’ve been here. Connectivity Our first and most important task was getting an internet solution installed. Chris did a lot of research into our options, which included DSL, cellular via AT&T or Sprint, line […]
Kinda Sorta But Not Really in the USA
Part of our appeal in wintering in the St. John was that it’s a US Territory in the US Virgin Islands – thus not requiring nearly the amount of logistical challenges as living in another country might pose. No visa, passport, currency exchange, postal logistics, pet quarantine or language barriers, for instance. And while we’re […]
Financial Realities of eProducts
This past year we have been experimenting with selling electronically distributed products, namely our iOS applications ‘State Lines‘ and ‘Coverage?‘, and our ‘Answers to Common Excuses‘ eBook. We thought it would be interesting to share the hard numbers behind these roll-outs, because there isn’t a lot of real-world publicly available data showing the realities of […]
Traveling the USA via Amtrak Rail Pass
After selling our Oliver Travel Trailer, and spending a month transitioning our travels in a borrowed Le’Sharo motorhome – we purchased a month long Amtrak Rail Pass to continue our vintage bus hunt. We thought we’d share what we learned about traveling via a rail pass and life aboard Amtrak. About the Amtrak USA Rail […]
Our Mobile Technology Arsenal – Old
As technology enabled nomads (thus ‘Technomad’), our mobile technology arsenal plays a critical role in our chosen lifestyle. We’re both pretty high tech folks (and geeky gadget nerds), and we work in the technology industry. We also both need to stay connected to family, friends and clients via various mobile devices—as well as uploading our […]
To Tow.. or Not to Tow?
That has been our question ever since we started our quest to live in a bus. For the first several years of our nomadic journey, we towed our home behind a vehicle – so thus, we always had a means of transportation while leaving the house parked behind. We intentionally kept our trailers small and […]
