(photo is just for fun… has nothing to do with the article) I was sick of being a nomad. Every day I had to make the choice between work and actively experiencing the city I was in. I was staying with friends and in hotels for a few days at a time. The hotels were…

Fresh off the second huge chunk of Life Nomadic,I’m back in Austin, TX. The RV is parked in the usual spot, I’m hanging out with my friends again, and life is good. Here are some thoughts inspired by LN part 2. I’m done with series of short trips When I stay somewhere for a long…
