Deciding to Go Nomad
The blog started right after we got to our first stop here in Panama, but the dream and the planning of going nomadic began about six months prior. I think Todd’s reasons for going are similar to mine, but I’ll speak for myself for now. Traveling has always been one of my favorite things. Ever…

Best Buy Super Associates
We were up in Houston visiting a friend who was very excited about a thrift shop. Normally I’m not a thrift shop kind of guy. I’m too particular about what I buy and I just don’t like shopping that much. But this time I was excited. Located on the bad side of town in a…

Two Weeks in Panama
Boy, what an exciting title! We’ve been here for almost two weeks. Living in a new place makes you notice all of the little things. Things that would never be written in a guidebook, because they’re too insignificant, but together create the atmosphere you live in. We haven’t had much of a chance to go…

Eating Healthy (Vegan) In Panama City
My one and only concern before beginning the trip was that I might have to give up my diet. Those of you who read my person blog know that I eat Vegan and also avoid processed flour and sugar. Todd has also pretty much adopted this diet. For the curious, we eat like that because…

The Near Future of BTYB
I don’t expect to be posting very much here for the forseeable future, maybe once or twice a month. Most new and exciting things that I’m up to are related to Life Nomadic, so make sure you check for my posts (and subscribe to the RSS) there. The good news is that I will be…

We Found an Apartment!
Todd and I have a tendency to not plan anything. Last year when we went to Japan we had no plans and nowhere to stay when we landed there. Life Nomadic 2008 is no different. Before we left I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a an apartment to rent online. We…

The Gear of Life Nomadic
To say that we packed light is an understatement. We packed super light. Someone recently told me a saying that stuck in my mind. “No one ever wishes they packed heavier.” So true. With fewer baggage comes more freedom, and that’s exactly what we’re after. Still, when Todd suggested that we take only a small…

First Impressions of Panama (Day 2)
We’ve been in Panama for two days now, but it seems like weeks. There’s obviously still TONS to explore around the city, but I’m already comfortable here and it even feels a bit familiar. First of all, I love it. For me it has the ideal balance between chaos and structure. It’s very safe… people…

Life Nomadic Day 1
Life Nomadic has begun. Six months of not particularly careful planning and a full week of hectic scrambling to rid ourselves of nearly every earthly possesion has paid off. As I write our first post for Life Nomadic, Todd’s in the next seat over editing our first video. The kid behind me is pounding on…

Significant Days
I got back from Boston on the 28th of December, giving me 10 days in Austin before Todd and I leave on the world trip. Every day counts now. I’ve been spending TONS of time with my friends. I’ve been slaughtering my backlog of important but not urgent todo items. I’m not wasting a minute.…
