So – you’re in Timbuktu, busily working on your latest project with your laptop when trouble hits. Your laptop is behaving like it’s about to go up in smoke at any minute. What do you do? You’re thousands of miles away from the nearest Geek Squad and you don’t know how to express what’s happening [...]
Our latest review of laptops reveals that manufacturers are more than a little schizophrenic—but in a good way. They now offer lighter machines that offer either a larger screen size (up to 19”!) or, 9” screens. Both trends will appeal to (if not actually benefit) the nomadic worker. Interestingly, our recent Laptop Review (comprised of [...]
Ricardo and I are serious about making NuNomad an active and vital part of your life as a working traveler. To that end, we could use some feedback about what your issues are when you’re out in the world. What would you like to see on NuNomad? What information would be useful? What kind of [...]

I’ve just started reading through it myself and highly recommend it. Best of all, it’s free! The guide covers a lot of topics including what to/not to pack, [...]
Getting ready to work while we travel internationally, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’m really going to need and what is going to be easiest to carry. Since I work by telephone with email back up I need a reliable and cost effective way to make international phone calls. I’m looking into Skype [...]
I finally chose my desktop time zone clock. If you want to see the comparisons of the 6 clocks I looked at look at my Excel Spreadsheet Document in the left side bar under "Advice from the Nomad". I settled on ZoneTick’s clock. It is customizable, has alarms, and a really cool globe interface. You [...]
So if I’m going across the world and am going to continue to talk to my clients, I’m realizing there are going to be huge time zone challenges. How am I going to keep track of when I’m supposed to be on the phone? I’m horribly absent minded. I can imagine really botching this. I [...]
