I recently had an opportunity to interview Chris Dunphy and Cherie Ve Ard, two Present Day Nomads living life on their terms. It is always a pleasure to meet someone (albeit, virtually) who is doing what we want to do, so I asked them a few questions to get to know them better and to pick their brains, so we can all benefit from their experiences, good and not so good.

Later on today, or I should say early tomorrow morning, I would be on board a Greyhound bus heading towards El Paso, Texas. The plan is to rent a car in El Paso and drive to Guadalupe National Park where I would climb the Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas. The park is located in a very remote area.
I figure I’d get to the park late Monday evening and after studying the maps and familiarizing myself with the area, I would call it a night and get some rest. …

One of the things that I am loving the most about this Location Independent and Nomadic Lifestyle is the ability to take off and go places whenever I choose to. This is Awesome!!
Just last week, when I picked up my son from Lone Star College, where he is taking dual credit classes, he asked, “Can we go somewhere?”
