Geography is the Best History Teacher
We’re nerds. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We love history. And we love geography. Istanbul was the perfect marriage of those two loves.
Uncertainty and Pivots
Lately it feels like the world isn’t a very safe place. From cartel violence in Mexico to the current war in the Middle East to a mass shooting in Austin, it can feel like there is violence everywhere. As nomads who have pre-booked travel for the next year, it forces us to ask ourselves hard questions about our risk tolerance and how we balance exploration with security.
Questions We Get Asked
Yesterday we cozied up in a 17th Century pub in London and had a fireside chat with some locals. There was a lovely couple from South Wales and a gentleman from Glasgow. The conversation drifted to where it usually does when we meet people in other countries. Where are you from? How long are you here for? That is the sign that the conversation is about to get interesting. We know that our lifestyle is unique. Here are the most frequently asked questions. People are curious about our choices. Maybe you’re curious too?
Favorite Travel Memories
Long before we became nomads we started traveling. Traveling introduced us, and our kids, to a world beyond the bubble that was our life in Kansas City. We started with travel in the US and Mexico, but with the opportunity to travel abroad through my work we quickly expanded our boundaries. We recently reminisced on our favorite travel experiences over the past 32 years.
