My NuNomad partner Richard and I are two of them! What I think you're sensing is that most of the blogging community is somewhat younger. The older nomading set doesn't seem to feel the same need to be online with their adventures. Also, many of the older set may consider themselves retirees or expats and not necessarily nomads. The way we define NuNomad is a person who is deriving their income from their homebase, continuing their career but independent of location. Many expats are deriving their income from a company that is stationed overseas. Retirees are also in a bit of a different category. However, as you know the line between working and retiring is somewhat blurrier now since many people continue their careers in some shape or form even after they consider themselves retired. From your comment I'm thinking perhaps you and your husband haven't completely figured out how to keep the income coming in while you are on the road. You might benefit from taking a look at the many interviews with nomads we've done over the years under the category, "<a href="http://www.nunomad.com/blog/category/meet-the-nomads/" rel="nofollow">Meet the Nomads</a>" just to get a feel for the wide variety of careers that can be mobile. Also, our upcoming book, "<a href="http://www.nunomad.com/advance" rel="nofollow">The NuNomad</a>" is full of ideas for how to do this.

We gypsied around so much for the last few decades that we will probably NEVER retire (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Any input from the older-but-wiser-and-still-mondo-healthy set???
