    Traveling full-time to places you’ve never been tends to instill a sense of (over?)confidence in your ability to handle anything. Sometimes, that confidence is…misplaced. But it’s probably the reason that being a pregnant nomad didn’t strike me as impossible. So. Am I in over my head? Here’s a quick tally of the last five months:…

    If you’ve noticed that our posts have trickled down to a minimum in the past few months, we apologize. We have some huge nomad news that may help to explain and make up for some of our long silence: we’re expecting a baby! We found out in September, while we were living in Playa del Carmen.…

    October Nomad Income: Life Update (Where the Money Went) After a rough landing in September we took some much needed time to relax and enjoy the beach life I have has been missing since Thailand.

    Every few months David and I have a stupid argument. Well, we have a lot of stupid arguments, but every few months we have one particular stupid argument. It usually starts in one of two ways: either I’m sulking around, generally homesick and looking to pick a fight, or, David’s annoyed that I haven’t done the…

    Life Update (Where the Money Went) Our August Nomad Income Report shows a nice rebound from our July drawdown. We spent the month in Zagreb and lived like locals. No big trips or crazy adventures, just exploring the city a bit and meeting up with other nomad families. Months like these help us stay grounded and…

    After six nomadic arrivals, three international house moves, and countless weekend jaunts to new places, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about our routine for settling in. We’re constantly trying to hone the arrival routine that allows us to settle into a new place quickly. Speed matters–the faster you can get your mental, emotional, and practical houses…

    Life Update (Where the Money Went) Our July Nomad Income Report isn’t pretty. Travel expenses combined with trading losses made it our worst month ever. After three months in Budapest our Schengen visa was up and we needed to move on. We read on other blogs that Zagreb, Croatia was a great destination for families…

    Traveling with a Child Play-by-Play: This is What It’s Like 5:30 am: Budapest is beautiful in the rosy morning light. The airport shuttle taxi arrives on time, an auspicious start.
