Time Frame: August 2 – 28, 2010 Miles Driven: 2825 After a way too brief of a stop in St. Louis, it was time to continue west towards Burning Man. It seems every year we find ourselves in this predicament – way too little time to traverse some of the most beautiful scenery our country […]

An Epic Camp Nomadia 2010
I’m still buzzing off the energy of Burning Man, and particularly our theme camp, Camp Nomadia. When we first had the vision for hosting the camp in 2008, we imagined a community of full time travelers all converging in one spot to share community, but not infrastructure. After all, us full time travelers are used […]
Serendipity Beckons us to the Islands, mon
72 Hours ago, we had never heard of the island of St. John. And now.. it’ll be our home for 5 months this winter. We’ve both been craving some major change. Our full time RVing around the US has become a bit.. routine. Hard to imagine that constant mobility can start to seem stationary, but […]

Not Letting Labels Hold You Back
I’ve often told folks that: Labels are best when they are descriptions, not prescriptions. Whenever I’m exploring a new hobby, lifestyle or professional pursuit, I tend to take on the labels associated with it to relate the experience to others. Terms like nomad, technomad, RVer, geek, location independent, fire dancer, traveler, blogger are labels that […]
The 100 pound Packing Goal
After a frantic 3200 mile cross country drive from San Francisco to Orlando these past couple weeks, we have arrived. Our attention now shifts to packing up the RV, getting it cleaned out to sit for 5 months and packing up for our island winter. After a lot of thought and playing around with our […]
