Hi I'm technomadness and I'm a refugee...

[technomadness]

...from the corporate world.  I just made my escape from the rat race!  I've been a nomad, however, for a long time, maybe my whole life if your criteria are lax.  I grew up traveling with my family, and in 2003 I started preparing to be a nomad and have basically not had a permanent location since 2008.   I spent quite a bit of time traveling internationally and spent a couple years in europe and central and south america.

My style of travel and living has evolved over the years, originally I wanted to sail around the world, but discovered blue water sailing wasn't for me, then I travelled using this new service called AirBnB for many years, and the next phase is a van.

Next month I will buy a ProMaster 159 wheelbase cargo van and start converting it. I can't wait!

By training and genetics I'm an engineer with a background in electronics and software, but have had as a hobby mechanical engineering-- specifically Battle Bots, I was nationally ranked for a brief period before robot combat and nomadism became incompatible.  I *might* use some of my discretionary space in the van for a robot workshop, we will see.


Now that I'm not working 80 hours a week anymore, I'm going to need some hobbies. 

But for now, its all about building the van.

Greetings!

Hi technomadness, welcome here, You have an interesting background. I see putts has already said hi here, and you might like his step van conversion to give you a few ideas.
I hope you enjoy your time here, and maybe make a few friends along the way?

Techno..You're most likely knowledge of computers and programming can be a useful money maker on the road. Especially if someone allows you to fix, diagnose their computer from remote access. Many of us like myself do good to be online period. I find your knowledge a useful resource as well here. I'm looking forward to your build as well. I hope that you will take us along for the ride from start to finish. David
