Let me tell you something you already know. No matter what, do not give up. Fight. Relax. Flow. Change. Grow. Oh – and don’t worry. That’s everything I know. It’s not an all or nothing. Stop being so dramatic. Keep going. Right now we’re deep in the middle of a two month road trip. I know it looks easy – …
Nomad Life
Working Hard at Not Working Hard
The universe does not work hard. It does not struggle. It does not have limits. I’m trying to be like the universe. Effortlessly making miracles and bending reality – with no regard to what anyone f*cken thinks. Blowing up stars, creating life, being bigger and stranger than anything can fathom. Effortlessly going about it’s ridiculous, funny, and amazing existence. And …
How to Prepare for our Cross Country RV Road Trip
We purchased an RV! A nearly 40 year old RV. A 1977 Dodge Rockwood to be exact. 20 Feet of Moving House. It gets a whopping 10 mpg (motor homes in general don’t get great mpg) – and I can’t really drive it any faster than 60 mph – but I still think it’s GREAT. Sure it’s just a little …
How To Sell All of Your Stuff
In February, Mark and I sold nearly all of our belongings in an epic 3-day sale (and we gave ourselves just under a month to prepare for it!). Here’s what we learned in the process: 1.) GET HELP!! Seriously – get as much help as you can. We absolutely could not have pulled this off or exceeded our sales goal …
This Life
This life I’m living… isn’t what I expected. But it’s what I wanted. How do I know that? I know it by the aliveness I feel, the tingling running down my spine and giving me goosebumps. I know it by the deep sense of happiness that bubbles up from inside, giving birth to a smile that is impossible to suppress. …
My Work is Seasonal and We Travel All the Time
What’s your job? Do you really need to be there 12 months of the year? Why? Maybe you don’t. When Leah first suggested that we sell our things and go all nomadic – I said no. Not because I didn’t want to do it, but because I didn’t think I could do it. We spent the last 5 years building …
What Has Changed for Me?
Febuary 27, 2015 was the last day I had a permanent residence. In that time, I’ve been in North GA, traveled around Turkey, and I’m now on a small organic farm in North Carolina, in the midst of the Nantahala Forest. It’s beautiful. All of it. I’m sitting on a covered porch right now listening to a chorus of… something. …
Be Less Busy and Live More Life
We just arrived today at our latest cabin in the woods – deep in the North Carolina mountains. Other people are always making choices that affect you everyday – and mostly without your permission. They make decisions, rules, and schedules that decide how you will spend your time, for you. You know that’s not right. Of course we’re given the illusion of …
Why Your Family Should Travel
We recently returned from a trip to Turkey – and you know what? – it was 46 kinds of awesome. We’ll go over the trip in detail over the next few weeks with more photos and video, but in case you missed our posts while we were there, check out the photos over on Instagram, and of course – here’s …
How to be a Modern Nomadic Family

A quick search for “Modern Nomadic Lifestyle” can lead you to a page full of posts about all of the sacrifices and difficulties you’ll face when you choose a nomadic life. The points will range …
