I recently wrapped up 18 months of being a nomad. During that time, I lived primarily out of two carry-on bags. Here’s what was in them. My fully packed Red Oxx Airboss ($275.00) bag weighed in at 22 pounds. It included the following (pictured in the featured image): Homage Zip Hoodie. One of the softest hoodies I’ve […]
As part of analyzing my 18 months as a nomad, I wanted to look at how many pictures I took and analyze some of the metadata to determine photos by state, photos by trip, and more. I assumed this was going to be an easy task, all I wanted to do was download flickr metadata to […]

Today’s the day. After being a nomad for 550 days, I’m hanging up my traveling shoes and settling back in NYC (Brooklyn to be exact). From March 1, 2015 to September 1, 2016, I lived out of two bags, traveling the world for work, fun, and selfies. After 18 months, I decided to return to the […]

Over the course of 18 months, I went to 142 cities in 50 states, 14 countries, and 3 continents. Here’s the master list of all the places I went. Bold = when the story takes place for that state with the (#) denoting the order. Italics = international countries that are outside the scope of […]

Because I’m an engineer, I […]
