  • How to Sell Everything You Own

    Selling everything before we left South Africa was a long, exhausting, and informative process. If anyone is facing the same task, here are a few nomad selling tips that worked well for us and a few things I wish I’d known beforehand. Start Selling Early Yes, duh.

  • March Nomad Income Report 2016: Still Building

    I’ll admit, the March Nomad Income Report took a while to put together. Unlike the previous month, March was a very productive month for Nomadica. We completed the site map and content strategy, which led to the design and build of the site. We’ve added travel resource content, secured multiple vendors enabling us to offer some the best in…

  • Podcast Spotlight – Tropical MBA with Venkat Rao

    February was dreary. I created distractions to avoid the big push forward on things that matter. I know the steps I need to take but I’ve prioritized planning over execution, playing out what-if scenarios and researching solutions to reassure myself that we’re making the right decision. Plain and simple, I’ve been afraid to commit and fail. March is a great time to refocus, find new ideas that challenge…

    What happens to productivity under the constant barrage of change that is nomadic life?

  • Travelers’ Wedding Vows: Happy Valentines Day!

    I wrote a poem for David at our wedding in Montana three years ago. It became a set of wedding vows for our lives as travelers. It’s not a work of art but I’m proud of it–as far as the poem represents our vows, we’ve kept them. Everything at that wedding was rimmed in magic. A vintage blue haze…

  • Selling Everything to Become Digital Nomads: Intro

    (a continuation of the Giving up the Script series) We’d sold our house. Now we had to sell everything in it to become digital nomads. We’d been living together since 2009 and had never done a serious purge. Though we’d moved several times, Amazon always paid to pack everything up and unpack it again. We put such little effort…

  • A Nomad Family Pack List – Mom and Kid [Video]

    What does a nomad family pack list look like?  Good question. Digital nomad pack lists abound, but nomad family pack lists are hard to find if you’re looking for actual product recommendations and not just “sun hat, toddler sandals,” etc. Sooo, here’s ours if you’re interested. We’ve found some bags and products we swear by. We…

  • Digital Nomad Family Packlist – Dad [Video]

    What does a digital nomad family pack for long term travel with a toddler?  Not as much as you’d think. We’ve been expats for four years, but living a digital nomad lifestyle for three weeks and are living comfortably out of three carry-on bags – an eBags TLS Mother Lode Weekender Convertible, an eBags TLS Professional Weekender…
