Worth area. Black skies ahead and radar was showing heavy storms and warnings were issued for strong thunderstorms and […]

See Rock City!
After years of driving in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee and being taunted by ‘See Rock City’ billboards.. I have finally seen Rock City! Fritz had always told me that it was something touristy and cheesy that he and his family did when he was younger – and thus it was never a priority for him […]
Travelogue: St. Louis
When last we left our technomadic adventurers, they were heading out of Atlanta towards St. Louis… I’ve never really been to much of the midwest, besides Chicago and Champaign, IL before. And honestly, I really never previously had much of a desire to visit them – hearing less than exciting tales from friends who grew […]
Setting the Date: May 10, 2007

The Logistics of Full Time Travel – Mail, Voting, Banking – Excuse #9
Mail. Bills. Taxes. Banking. Voting. How does one handle all of these logistical things when you don’t have a physical fixed home address? It’s amazing how many mundane details in life are dependent upon having an address. When contemplating becoming intentionally homeless and embarking on a life of travel, trying to muddle through all of […]
Healthcare Solutions for Full Time Travelers – Excuse #10
No matter how you look at it, healthcare, and specifically health insurance, is a headache. Despite this being one of the most substantial excuses that hold people back from a nomadic life, I’ve been holding off on posting about this topic for a couple of reasons. For one, it took me nearly two years to […]
