About Nomad Life

So, we’re flipping our lifeplan a bit. Pulling a 180, so to speak.

We already began that process a half dozen years ago when we built a snowbird retirement home an hour north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja Sur, Mexico, where Nancy and I reside from late November to late May, our aging bones more content with high-70’s temps and sunshine, than the Pacific Northwest’s high-30’s and gray.

2026 Update

Yes, we're continuing our Nomad Life travels in 2026, but with a few adjustments. We learned a lot last year!  Fewer actual blog posts, more posts on social media, but always summary mentions back here, so you can stay in the loop as much as you wish.

But after 25 years of owning a home, then renting an apartment - both in Seattle suburb Sammamish, Washington - we’ve decided to explore for a while and see some of the world we’ve yet to experience. Nancy’s half Italian and has never been to Italy! And half my kin hail from Norway and Scotland, and I haven’t been to either. So, we’re at a very fortunate time of our lives, and have decided to change our status quo.

 

A month ago we packed up all our belongings and Nancy’s Volvo, and placed them in storage. Then on November 18, we departed in the RAV-4 for our final drive to Baja; this time a one-way trip. On May 21, 2025, we’ll fly to Seattle to begin our 180-days of nomad life.

This website/blog will be a chronicle of the logistics planning we encounter putting together a half-year on the road, and then an entertaining - we hope - journal of our travel experiences themselves. In an earlier phase of life I wrote a book and managed a blog, but it’s been a couple of decades since I put fingers to keyboard for anything other than work or occasional social media. I look forward to it.
