Sailing, world travel, cruising, pilot/ultralight, skydiving, kayaking.. and perhaps, space travel?

You.

The most joyous part of our journey is all the incredible people we meet along the way. We love love love nomadic rendezvouses!

We've become quite the Apple fan-nomads - each having a MacBook Pro, iPads, a Mac mini as our trailer's server and iPhones. And we love our cradlepoint router that converts our cellular aircard to wifi!


















Hi! We're Chris & Cherie. Chris started solo on the road in April 2006 in a tiny 16' Tab trailer, based out of San Francisco. Cherie was in Florida, and we met shortly therafter via a Prius forum.

We did a 7 month trial on the road together in that tiny Tab, and decided - Yes! Cherie sold her home in Florida, and we commissioned our ideal technomadic home to be built for two - a 17' fiberglass RV that was custom built for us by Oliver Travel Trailer. It's been outfitted with much geeky goodness and solar panels to can keep us environmentally offgrid and self contained. In 2008, we added a kitten... err... cat.

We're technomads who take up fun work projects doing various tech consulting and software development that we work on remotely and/or temporarily onsite. And most recently we've launched Line of iPhone Apps specific to road trip travelers.

We've also been known to take on long term volunteer positions, such as running a field office for the Obama Campaign in rural Nevada. We're also looking into becoming mobile Red Cross volunteers.

We attend Burning Man annually and host theme camp for nomads and vagabonds - we invite you to join us!

Burning Man, Technology, Intentional Family, Bettering the World, Inspiration.

We love the variety of places we stay at - from state/national parks & forests, urban warehouses, friend's driveways, llama ranches, tennis courts, scenic boondocking and the occasional commercial campground.

The suckiest campgrounds tend to be the KOA variety - the ones that are way overpriced and offer nothing more than a decent location.

Hey guys - That State Lines app looks super cool and useful. Makes me want to get an Iphone...

Welcome to our Freak Revolution on Wheels :)

I'm just relieved to know we're NOT the only ones out here ... :)  Sorry we'll miss out on the TX Rally this year but we've plans for SXSW next time around and hope to meet IRL some of those we've befriended here in cyberspace.

Cheers!

Welcome to a place where you're amongst peers :)   

 

Why thank you! It's so unusual (as I was just thinking to myself as I went for a bike ride this AM and passed by the building where all the old ladies are doing a "walking tape" instead of heading outside and really getting the old blood pumping!) Ah, me...

 

I want very much to hear the whole story of your living entirely off the grid -- Matt and I are still fairly attached to hookups because we like to park in one spot for several weeks or a month at a time (and even with conservative water usage, you're going to need to dump about once a week or so -- isn't that a pain to have to pack up and drive off to find a dump station?) Do tell!

Hi Chris and Cherie,

We were in St. Louis over Thanksgiving. If you haven't seen it, the architecture at Union Station is beautiful, though stores are touristy stuff mostly. The Whispering Wall (?) upstairs there is amazing!

 BTW, how do you look for people on here? I tried to find y'all last night. Thank you again for the great resources on your website. I'm checking out McKinney State Park right now for next week.

Mara & Stewart

Pleasure to find you guys too... indeed we sound like we'd have a lot of fun meeting up!  We also have ties in Florida, we're actually flying back to Florida tomorrow for a bit (Melbourne - where Cherie was when we met).

Are you guys going to Burning Man this year?  We're hosting a camp specifically for nomads :)  

We are kicking around BM this year. Unfortunately, we won't take this home out there, and I did too many years in a tent out there - that will NOT happen again :) If we can find a decent Craigslist deal, we will probably roll out there.  And thanks for the camp offer!

Welcome Chris & Cherie! We seem to have a lot in common! Ang and I are from the Bay Area, on the road, doing web work. Also Burners!

Look forward to running into you guys IRL someday down the road. Thanks for joining!
