Overall, 2021 was not a bad year for travel although I mostly traveled within the U.S. due to COVID, visiting 14 states over the year on numerous road trips. I also spent six blissful weeks of summer in New Zealand, six weeks living between different mountain towns in Colorado during winter, five weeks island-hopping solo […] Read more…
The 23rd June 2021 marked a significant milestone for me: Six years living a nomadic life. Traveling through 20 countries, not paying rent anywhere, and never in one place for more than a couple of months at most – being nomadic is an exciting life of true freedom. Although it isn’t always easy, it makes […] Read more…
There are so many digital nomads out there telling you to quit your job and travel the world. About how they used to work 80 hours a week in a windowless cubicle in a job they hated. How they were miserable until they quit to travel but now they have an amazing life. What I […] Read more…
2019 wasn’t as travel-filled as the past few years since becoming nomadic have been, but looking back now, I did manage to squeeze a lot in – even if it was just mostly US travel due to the wait on my Green Card. In the past year I volunteered and traveled in Hawaii, was finally […] Read more…
I can’t believe I am already over a week into my big international trip! I have been thinking about it a lot the last few months, and realized that I hadn’t really told you guys what our plans were, other than a casual mention here and there.

2018 was another epic year for me and although I only managed to fulfil half of my 2018 travel goals, it was still a very busy one. In the past year I got married – twice!, traveled in seven countries and nineteen(!) US States – including 13 that were new to me, road tripped all […] Read more…
I can’t actually believe it is 2018 already – time flew by last year, like always. 2017 was a corker of a year for me, and even better than I could have imagined. I traveled through nine countries and eight states, bought a van, house sat a lot, visited friends around the world and got […] Read more…
I’m tired and bored and struggling… with writing. Writing doesn’t always come easy for me and since I began my life of full-time travel nearly two years ago – it has been hard to carve out the time to do it. When I write I need to be in a quiet space with little to […] Read more…
First of all – Happy New Year! I think that a lot of you, like me, are wondering where the hell 2016 went. Or am I the only one that feels like it flew by? 2016 was a hard year for me, as it seems to have been for a lot of people. I broke up […] Read more…
There have been some big changes in my life over the past couple of months, and they all stem from the biggest change of all: I broke up with my fiancé and partner of almost nine years. I haven’t just lost the man I was going to marry and my best friend, I have also lost […] Read more…
