Blog Review – Life Nomadic
A Journal That Will Inspire Wanderlust in Budget Travelers
What happens when two friends sell just about everything to travel the world? The blog Life Nomadic fills you in.
Have you ever dreamed about breaking free of your daily grind and traveling the world? But then you think, “How will I do this?” Perhaps this blog will reignite those fires as two friends detail their journey around the world and how they’re doing it with a limited budget.
What is the Life Nomadic About?
According to about section at Life Nomadic, friends Tynan and Todd have “sold everything they owned, filled two small backpacks with the best gear and technology available, and set out to explore the world and find adventures.” They’ve also set out to do it cheaply, as they will be working remotely while on the road.
Why is the Life Nomadic Blog Worth Reading?
Even though the duo has only hit the road in the last month, as of this article’s writing, they have amassed quite a few posts on their adventures in Panama. The writing is rich in details of not just the hows and the whys, but also their daily lives. Things they notice, where they eat, how much things cost, meeting the locals and adventures they have while in the country are regular subjects of their writings.
In fact, it’s their encounters with the locals that provide some of the best stories they tell on the blog, and serves as an example of why interacting with others while traveling can lead to some incredible adventures.
They also post a variety of photos, both in their blog posts and at their Flickr account, that help tell the story of their travels. Tynan and Todd have also added videos to YouTube of their travels, with a link from their site.
What Can Budget Travelers Get From Reading Life Nomadic?
First, a serious case of wanderlust. If you can read their posts on Panama and still not want to add the country to your wish list for upcoming travel, it would be a surprise.
Second, early posts detail what they packed, from clothes to technology. For those looking to spend an extended length of time traveling, this may be a big help in deciding what to take for their own trips.
Third, they often blog about things they’re doing to earn money on the road and the ups and downs of doing so. If you’re on a budget, this can spark ideas on how to earn funds for your own extended travels.
Finally, according to the onsite itinerary, upcoming stops include Tokyo, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Qatar and Paris, France…all locations that beckon budget travelers. It’ll be interesting to read their perspectives on these locations.
