savvy: practical know-how, wise, well informed, perceptive, shrewd
nomad: a wanderer, an unsettled lifestyle, migratory,
a restless mobile society
Are you a savvy nomad? Do you long for adventure? The open road? Are you tired of living in one place? Do you feel stuck to your house, your job, your life? Do you feel like living in one place would probably be as good as living in another? If so, you are probably a nomad at heart.
But how do you travel as a lifestyle or be your own boss? How do you finance your adventures? Will you be satisfied with living simply or do you have to travel in luxury? What does it mean to be a savvy nomad?
That's what we hope to explore in these pages through articles, videos, pictures, and links to information on living an independent lifestyle ~ be a traveler, an adventurer, a writer, a wanderer, an artist, an entrepreneur ~ and do it successfully. In other words, be a savvy nomad.
Who are we? We are Sara and Dave, two restless people, stuck in jobs of our own design. We used to be nomadic. We met in Antarctica when we were both working for the US Antarctic Program. After 4 years of contract work we decided to settle down for a while. We got a house, a dog and regular jobs. A couple years of that routine and we were ready for something new again.
We sold our house for seed money to start our own business - a publishing company (visit us at On-Word Bound Books). Never mind that we had no experience in graphic design or anything else related to publishing. Oddly enough, we have been successful.
We both love to travel. Not the "quick weekend trip" kind of travel. The "sell everything and go" kind of travel. We are tied to our business for now but are looking for ways to challenge ourselves until we can strike out into the world again. We decided to start this website to share our old travel stories, link to other nomads' websites, talk about how to be an entrepreneur and to encourage ourselves to get out on the road again.
