As of September of 2017, The Nomads halted their travels. We have traveled to, lived in and had adventures in the 48 contiguous United States. We will still visit Alaska and Hawaii as well as travel back to states and visit foreign countries. But, we are setting a permanent home base, in the Florida Panhandle, to operate out of.
One thing that we learned along the way was the Nomad Lifestyle, which is why we call it Living Nomad Style.
The Nomad Lifestyle is a mentality of emphasizing value and minimizing waste.
While on the road, we had limited space in Ebony and The Mule. If one of us wanted something new and had no room for it, we had to decide to get rid of something or forgo the new item. This made us carefully consider getting new things just for the sake of new things.
Also, when we looked at acquisition of something, we examined its utility, durability, weight and cost to determine the overall value. Something had to have an overall high value for us to acquire it.
We became largely detached from “just having stuff.” At one time our stuff owned us, we did not own our stuff. After our travels, we have reversed this behavior. We are in clear ownership of our stuff, continue to emphasize value and minimize waste…the Nomad Lifestyle.
So, we will continue to write about our journeys and life events because Living Nomad Style has transformed into more than a chronicle of travel. It has become a way of life. One we are fond of and will continue to practice.
So we invite you to continue to follow our adventures and join us in a Nomad Lifestyle type of mentality. Normal Rejected. Adventure Accepted. Safe Travels.
