Goodbye Shopping – Hello World

A big issue for many people who would like to do extended travel is finances. Forums are full of discussions on how to save the money to make your trip happen. So many of us are bogged down in credit card debt, student loans, etc. that the idea of saving money seems like a pipe [...]

Your Nomadic Profession

“I work for myself. I have a company registered in the States, so I employ myself.” Ragana, not her real name—just the one she signs with in Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree forum—was the first to reply to a call on “Nomadic Work Experiences” by LaptopHobo.com (the companion site to NuNomad.com). Five questions were queried: For [...]

The Post-Geographic Office – Your Ticket to the World?

Michele Conlin of Business Week Online has recently written one of the more exciting articles for NuNomads I’ve seen.

Family Nomads – Probably the Most Fearless of All!

When I set off on my last adventure with my 3 children (later met by my husband after a couple of weeks) I searched the web for extended travel with kids and found very little. However, since then, it seems family nomads are jumping out of the woodwork. In my opinion, these are some of [...]

Hooray for Continental!

I just read on Business Week Online that Continental Airlines has won a dispute with Boston Logan Airport to offer free WiFi to their President’s Club Members. Boston Logan argued it was a hazard (although they offer WiFi themselves at $7.95 per day – sound more like a hazard to their pocketbooks). This is a [...]
